Inside source shares major update on Nancy Guthrie’s abduction

Without a suspect in custody, it’s extremely difficult to know what happened to Nancy Guthrie.

Police say that, for now, everything remains purely speculative.

At the same time, an inside source revealed that investigators think Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance doesn’t seem to have been a planned kidnapping.

The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is intensifying, and new details suggest her case may not have been a planned kidnapping. An inside source told AZFamily that authorities now believe the incident could have been a burglary gone wrong.

Former law enforcement experts who reviewed doorbell camera footage told AZFamily the situation “did not appear to be a planned kidnapping.”

The source added, “The widespread investigative belief is Nancy could be alive.”

DNA evidence and surveillance footage

Right now, investigators are awaiting DNA results from a Range Rover SUV that was towed from a Tucson-area Culver’s parking lot. The driver was briefly detained and interviewed before being released.

Meanwhile, the FBI announced a major development: a glove containing DNA, found about two miles from Guthrie’s home, appears to match the suspect seen in doorbell camera footage.

The gloves were sent to a private lab in Florida and arrived Friday. Preliminary DNA results were received Saturday, with officials now awaiting “quality control” and confirmation before entering the profile into the national database.

Nearly 16 gloves were found near Guthrie’s home, most of them searchers’ gloves discarded during the investigation. The FBI clarified that the glove with DNA could belong to the armed suspect caught on camera tampering with Nancy’s front door the morning she disappeared.

Video shows suspect

Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 and officially reported missing on February 1.

Doorbell footage released by authorities shows a masked individual walking slowly onto Guthrie’s porch, head hung low as if trying to hide their face.

The FBI described the suspect as a man about 5’9” with a medium build, carrying a 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.

Authorities have expressed concern for Nancy’s wellbeing, noting she relies on daily medication.

Blood was discovered on her front porch, and purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, though two deadlines have since passed without contact.

As the case enters its 15th day, Nancy’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, took to Instagram with a heartfelt message to whoever may have her. “I wanted to come on … it’s been two weeks since our mom was taken and … I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope and we still believe,” she said, holding back tears.

She continued directly to the person holding her mother: “And I wanted to say that to whoever has her or knows where she is, that it’s never too late. And you’re not lost or alone, and it is never too late to do the right thing. And we are here, and we believe in the essential goodness of every human being, and it’s never too late.”

Authorities are urging residents to expect “a lot of police activity” daily as the investigation continues. Authorities are also continuing to investigate the source of a ransom note sent to CBS News’ Tucson affiliate KOLD, which demanded payment in Bitcoin. At one point, the Guthrie family offered to pay, even without any proof that Nancy was alive, and they have shared several video appeals urging whoever has her to return her safely.

While questions remain about the motive and suspect, law enforcement remains hopeful that Nancy Guthrie could still be found alive.

We’re also keeping our fingers crossed for the best possible outcome. Prayers for Nancy and her entire family.
