Investigators searching for leads in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of 'TODAY' co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, have been asking neighbors in her Arizona neighborhood if they noticed any disruptions to their internet connection on the night she went missing. Several homeowners reported that investigators inquired about potential internet issues, though the reasons behind this line of questioning remain unclear.

Why it matters

The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has yielded few public details, and authorities have not identified any suspects or persons of interest. The focus on potential internet disruptions suggests investigators may be exploring the possibility that the perpetrator used technology to aid in the alleged kidnapping or abduction.

The details

Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI agents were out canvassing Guthrie's neighborhood in the Catalina Foothills in Arizona on Thursday, going door-to-door and asking residents if they noticed any issues with their internet connectivity on the night of January 31st, when Guthrie went missing. Several homeowners reported that the agents specifically asked about internet disruptions that night, though the homeowners themselves did not experience any problems.

  • Nancy Guthrie was last seen around 9:45 p.m. on January 31, 2026 after having dinner with her daughter.
  • Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, 2026 after she didn't show up to a friend's house to watch a livestreamed church service, as she typically did on Sundays.
