Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TV host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home on February 1. Investigators believe she was likely taken overnight, and the FBI has released surveillance images of a masked suspect at her front door.
Private investigator Bill Garcia believes the disappearance may be connected to individuals linked to a drug cartel, possibly as part of a money-making scheme. However, he does not think Guthrie was taken to Mexico and believes she may still be somewhere in Arizona, possibly north of Tucson.
Authorities have found blood on the porch and ruled out a simple burglary. While the motive remains unclear, Sheriff Chris Nanos has suggested the case could involve revenge. Officials have not publicly supported Garcia’s cartel theory, and the investigation remains ongoing.
