Police have just contacted Savannah Guthrie with a delicate update in the ongoing search for her missing mother, 84‑year‑old Nancy Guthrie, but authorities stress that much remains uncertain. Investigators from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, working with the FBI, say they have detected a brief, unexplained signal that could be linked to Nancy’s location.

While the discovery offers a new lead, officials emphasize that it does not reveal her exact whereabouts and requires careful verification before conclusions can be drawn. Nancy was last seen on the evening of January 31 at her Tucson‑area home after being dropped off by family members. When she failed to attend a planned appointment the following morning, relatives reported her missing.

Law enforcement treated the case with urgency, noting that her phone, wallet, and essential medications were left behind, suggesting she did not leave voluntarily. Biological evidence was discovered at the scene, and investigators continue to analyze it to understand what may have occurred. The new signal, though significant, has not yet been confirmed as a definitive sign of Nancy’s location. Authorities continue to search, reviewing surveillance footage, analyzing phone records, and pursuing tips from the public.

No suspects or persons of interest have been named, and investigators caution against speculation, noting that time and careful evidence review are critical. In response, Savannah and her family have released heartfelt public messages, acknowledging the discovery while appealing for her safe return. They urge anyone with information to come forward and emphasize that their mother’s well-being remains the top priority. Law enforcement continues to work diligently, balancing hope with caution as the search enters this delicate phase.
