Dallas International Investigator Weighs in on the Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Mother of the "Today" Show Co-Host

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos admitted early investigative errors, including premature crime scene release and delayed FBI involvement, in the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie.

  • On Feb. 5, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos acknowledged the crime scene was released too soon and said, "I didn't even have to ask" when the FBI later joined the probe.
  • On Jan. 31, 2026, Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen returning home at 9:48 p.m., then a doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m. on Feb. 1, with movement detected at 2:12 a.m. and her pacemaker disconnecting at 2:28 a.m.
  • Investigators found blood at the front porch matching Nancy Guthrie's DNA, Guthrie's cellphone remains with authorities, and purported ransom notes have circulated though their similarity is unclear.
  • No suspects have been named, and officials emphasize that nobody is ruled out as the search enters its sixth day with search teams and investigators working footage and canvassing, given Guthrie's medical condition and pacemaker.
  • High-Profile cases attract scammers, and the reported Bitcoin demand arrest confirmed it was not legitimate, according to private investigator Jay Armes III.
