A retrieved voicemail has cracked the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case wide open. The message reveals a chilling level of premeditation, with a caller who seemed to know the exact moment the house would be vacant.

A “shattering” voicemail recovered from Nancy Guthrie’s landline has blown the kidnapping case wide open — and it’s sending shockwaves through the investigation into the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s beloved 84-year-old mother.

In a chilling twist that has detectives scrambling, authorities have unearthed a haunting 10-second message left on Nancy’s home phone the night before she vanished. The voice — one Nancy clearly recognized — delivered a cryptic, menacing warning that now holds the key to unlocking the mystery of her abduction.

Sources close to the probe say the voicemail explicitly referenced details about the household being empty, suggesting the caller had intimate knowledge of Nancy’s routine and vulnerabilities. “This isn’t random,” one insider told us. “The caller knew exactly when she would be alone — and police are treating it as direct evidence of premeditation.”

The bombshell discovery comes as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department ramps up its frantic search in Tucson, Arizona, classifying Nancy’s upscale Catalina Foothills home as an active crime scene. Signs of forced entry, traces of blood inside and near the front door, and other disturbing evidence have convinced authorities she was taken against her will — possibly dragged from her bed in the dead of night.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos didn’t mince words during an emotional press conference: “We believe she was abducted. When you’re taken from your bed and you don’t want to go somewhere, that’s an abduction.” He stressed the urgency, revealing Nancy suffers from serious physical ailments and requires daily medication. Without it within 24 hours, her condition could turn fatal.

“She is as sharp as a tack mentally — this is not someone who wandered off,” Nanos insisted. “Her mobility is limited due to age, so the idea she left on her own is simply not credible. Time is critical. We need her back.”

Nancy was last seen Saturday evening, January 31, 2026, at her quiet home near Skyline and Campbell. Family members grew alarmed when she failed to appear at church the next morning — a regular Sunday ritual. A concerned friend checked on her, discovered the unsettling scene, and alerted authorities around noon on February 1.

Investigators quickly descended, processing the residence for clues. Blood evidence has been collected and is undergoing testing, while DNA samples from the home have so far pointed only to Nancy herself. No suspect has been publicly named, but the voicemail has shifted focus toward someone in her circle — or perhaps someone who targeted her because of her famous daughter.

Savannah Guthrie, the beloved co-anchor of NBC’s Today show, has been devastated. In a heartfelt social media post, she pleaded: “Bring her home.” The family remains tight-lipped, but sources say Savannah is “shattered” by the voicemail revelation, which adds a deeply personal layer to the nightmare.

The FBI has now joined the investigation, offering resources as the search expands across Arizona. Authorities are urging anyone with doorbell camera footage, home security videos, or sightings to come forward immediately. “Review your footage — anything that even looks like her, snap a photo or video and send it to us,” Nanos appealed.

This case has gripped the nation, blending celebrity heartache with a genuine race against time. Nancy Guthrie isn’t just a statistic — she’s a sharp-minded matriarch, a devoted mother, and grandmother whose life hangs in the balance.
