Missing‑at‑84‑Year‑Old Disappears After Family Dinner

Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson after being dropped off on the night of Jan. 31, 2026; she was reported missing when she failed to attend a virtual church service on Feb. 2 and blood confirmed to be hers was found on the front porch, leading authorities to treat the case as a kidnapping of a medically vulnerable senior [2][7][15].

Doorbell Camera Captures Masked Male With Backpack, Timestamps Unclear

FBI‑released Nest footage shows a ski‑masked man, about 5 ft 9‑10 in tall, wearing a black 25‑liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack and a handgun holster tampering with the doorbell camera on the morning of Feb. 1, with a second still lacking the backpack; both images lack date‑time stamps, making the suggestion of multiple visits speculative [2][4][5][7][15].

DNA Samples Yield No CODIS Hits, Genetic Genealogy Deployed

Gloves recovered near the residence and DNA collected from the scene produced profiles that did not match any entries in the FBI’s CODIS database, prompting investigators to turn to investigative genetic genealogy and to upload the samples to public genealogy databases for distant‑relative matching [2][11][12][20].

Family‑Funded $1 Million Reward Spurs 750 Credible Tips and FBI Relocation

Savannah Guthrie announced a personal reward of up to $1 million, added to the FBI’s $100 k bounty and a $102,500 Crime Stoppers offer, while also donating $500 k to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children; the announcement generated 750 credible tips and led the FBI to move its command post from Tucson to Phoenix, with volunteer groups such as the United Cajun Navy offering assistance [1][2][18].

Authorities Clear Family, Warn Against Uncoordinated Searches

Sheriff Chris Nanos publicly cleared Guthrie’s adult children and spouses as suspects and urged volunteers to cease independent desert searches, citing concerns that uncoordinated efforts could compromise evidence; barricades and a one‑way road have been installed around the home to protect the investigation [9][10][14].

Feb 2, 2026 – Sheriff Chris Nanos declares the residence a crime scene, noting forced‑entry signs and that Nancy’s limited mobility means she could not have left on her own; a $2,500 reward and tip line (520‑351‑4900) are launched, and the FBI begins assisting the investigation [28][29][30][20].

Feb 3, 2026 – The FBI joins the search, President Donald Trump pledges “ALL Federal Law Enforcement” assistance, and investigators note personal items (phone, wallet, car) remain inside, reinforcing the kidnapping theory [27][21][22][23].

Feb 4, 2026 – Sheriff Nanos and FBI chief hold a news conference, offering a $50,000 reward and urging tips; Savannah Guthrie cancels her NBC Winter‑Olympics duties to stay in Arizona and posts a video pleading for proof of life [21][20][16][17][19].

Feb 5, 2026 – The family releases emotional Instagram videos demanding proof of life; a California man, Derrick Callella, is arrested for sending a fake Bitcoin ransom note, while a genuine‑looking cryptocurrency demand (≈ £4.5 million) is forwarded to the FBI [15][16][18][19][10].

Feb 6, 2026 – Sheriff Nanos says investigators “operate under the belief she is still alive” and remain “confident she will be found,” while former FBI agent Harry Trombitas warns that public leaks could endanger the victim [2][14].

Feb 10, 2026 – Police briefly detain a man on suspicion of involvement, but release him hours later after no evidence is found [1].

Feb 13, 2026 – A nearby residence is searched as part of the expanding investigation, and Border Patrol officers join volunteer search efforts [1].

Feb 17, 2026 – DNA from a glove recovered two miles from the home yields no CODIS match; the FBI raises its reward to $100,000 and Savannah posts a video urging the kidnapper to surrender, saying “It is never too late to do the right thing” [3][12].

Feb 18, 2026 – Sheriff Nanos asks Google to retrieve additional Nest footage, describing himself as “hopeful” despite the company’s uncertainty; investigators turn to investigative genetic genealogy after CODIS returns no hits [11][12].

Feb 19, 2026 – An anonymous $100,000 donation lifts the total reward to over $200,000; a new $6 million cryptocurrency ransom note (later shifted to Monero) is received, and U.S. investigators contact Mexican officials in Sonora while the family enlists the non‑profit Searching Mothers of Sonora for assistance [10][2][9].
