The search forNancy Guthriehas entered its 34th day, with investigators continuing efforts to locate the 84-year-old who vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a host on the Today show, was last seen after returning to her residence late on January 31 following dinner with her daughter Annie Guthrie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni. She was reported missing the next day, February 1.
Authorities have released images of a man allegedly seen tampering with the doorbell camera at Nancy’s home shortly before she disappeared. However, investigators have yet to identify or arrest a suspect. The case remains under active investigation by the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, both of which say they are following multiple leads.
With few confirmed details made public, experts say investigations into abductions often begin by examining people in the victim’s immediate circle or those living nearby.
During a discussion about the case, journalist Brian Entin raised the possibility that someone living close to Nancy’s home could be involved. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Entin asked whether investigators might be considering a suspect from within the neighbourhood.
Former FBI agent Maureen O’Connell said such scenarios are not uncommon. She explained that, statistically, crimes like these frequently involve individuals who live nearby or have some proximity to the victim. According to O’Connell, investigators typically study behavioral patterns within the neighborhood while exploring those possibilities.
As the investigation intensifies, federal agents have returned to the area surrounding Nancy’s home. On March 5, authorities conducted door-to-door visits, speaking with residents and asking whether they noticed anything unusual around the time she disappeared.
Several homeowners told NBC News that investigators asked questions about potential internet disruptions in the neighborhood on the night Nancy vanished. According to residents, officials also requested access to any available video footage recorded around that time.
Entin reported that one neighbor discovered their Ring camera history for the night Nancy disappeared showed a “not available” message when they checked the footage.
Some residents said they were asleep or away from home when Nancy went missing and could not confirm whether they experienced connectivity issues that night. However, one nearby couple told NBC News they noticed something unusual when reviewing their security footage.
The couple said their home has four Ring cameras. When they checked recordings from the overnight hours of Nancy’s disappearance, the camera closest to her property displayed a “not available” message. Their other cameras, positioned farther away from Nancy’s home, appeared to function normally.
