3 Detained, DNA Clues Deepen Mystery in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping Case
A dramatic turn tonight in the search for Nancy Guthrie, as multiple people are now reportedly detained and new DNA evidence raises urgent questions about what really happened inside her Arizona home.
Authorities in Pima County say at least three individuals were detained in connection with the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. Investigators stress that detainment during a warrant process does not automatically mean charges, but it signals that the case has entered a critical phase.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the night of January 31 at her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson. By the next morning, when she failed to appear for her regular church gathering, alarm bells began ringing. Officials now believe she was taken against her will. Disturbing images from the scene showed drops of blood on her porch and law enforcement quickly escalated the case.

The FBI has formally described this as a kidnapping. Surveillance footage from a doorbell camera shows a masked man, possibly armed, attempting to tamper with the device. He was seen wearing gloves and carrying a black hiking backpack. That image has become central to the investigation, generating more than 13,000 tips nationwide.
Now, investigators confirm that DNA recovered from the property does not belong to Nancy Guthrie or anyone known to be in close contact with her. Gloves were discovered in the surrounding area and sent for forensic testing. Officials are working to identify who that DNA belongs to and whether it ties directly to the suspect seen on camera.
The FBI has doubled its reward to $100,000 for information leading to Nancy’s location or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved. Meanwhile, authorities are urging residents within a two-mile radius of her home to submit surveillance footage from the days leading up to her disappearance.
This case has gripped the nation not only because of its connection to a prominent media figure, but because it highlights the vulnerability of elderly Americans living independently. Every hour matters in situations like this. Every clue could mean the difference between uncertainty and resolution.
Law enforcement says progress is being made, but Nancy Guthrie remains missing tonight.
