URGENT and TERRIFYING APPEAL — Authorities have just dropped a massive new lead in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie: a suspicious vehicle was seen circling her Tucson neighborhood repeatedly in the weeks before she vanished — and police are now pleading with every neighbor to check their surveillance systems for footage that could identify it!

Police are following new leads in the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing 84-year-old mom, Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy was abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home early in the morning of Sunday, Feb. 1. After releasing new surveillance footage of a masked intruder coming into Nancy’s home, the FBI and local law enforcement are pursuing new leads.

Authorities in the area have reached out to Ring doorbell camera users located near Nancy’s Catalina Foothills home for footage from specific dates, including one 20 days prior to Nancy’s abduction, PEOPLE confirms.

Investigators have requested footage from Jan. 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight local time as well as footage from Jan. 31 between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., the morning before Nancy’s abduction.

Neighbor Laura Gargano confirmed to PEOPLE that a request for those dates was sent via the Ring doorbell app. In their request, police noted that a “suspicious vehicle” had been spotted in the vicinity.

Additionally, authorities say they have “recovered several items of evidence, including gloves,” adding that “all viable evidence is submitted for analysis.”

On Wednesday, Feb. 11, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told PEOPLE that the investigation “is still operating” on the belief “that Nancy is alive.”

That same day, the FBI’s Phoenix office shared on X that they conducted an “extensive search” of the area, including “multiple roadways” in the Catalina Foothills.

Nancy was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her home in Arizona at around at 9:48 p.m. after having dinner with her daughter Annie Guthrie and her son-in-law. Her family reported her missing the next day at around 12:03 p.m. after being alerted that she did not meet up with friends for a church livestream.

On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the FBI released Nest doorbell camera footage of a masked intruder at Nancy’s home, as the armed individual was seen attempting to cover the camera with plants pulled from Nancy’s front yard.

The Today anchor and her two siblings have made several pleas on social media for the potential kidnapper or kidnappers to return their mom. On Feb. 4, they posted an Instagram video asking for proof of life.

On Saturday, Feb. 7, they shared another emotional video on Instagram, saying, “We will pay.”

A quiet community has been shattered. Authorities have now confirmed that all eight victims in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting have been formally identified — and the heartbreaking details are leaving an entire nation in shock.  At an emotional press conference, officials fought back tears as they shared new updates on the investigation. Outside, grieving families stood in silence, candles flickering in the cold air, trying to comprehend the unimaginable loss.  Six innocent children. Two more lives gone. Dozens of families forever changed.
12 years and 11 months. That was the time Pastor Abel Mwansa had with his son before a Tuesday afternoon changed everything forever. The tragedy in Tumbler Ridge didn’t just take eight lives; it took the heart of a community. From Abel Jr. to 12-year-old Kylie May, the stories of innocence lost are leaving Canada breathless with sorrow. We honor the ‘kind and beautiful souls’ who went to school and became stars in the sky.
She once begged strangers online to choose kindness.  Jennifer Strang, a 39-year-old mother from a quiet northern town, had spoken publicly about compassion — even when her views put her at odds with people around her. In July 2024, after seeing hateful comments directed at vulnerable youth, she posted an emotional plea: stop spreading cruelty. Think before you type. Remember that words can push struggling kids into despair.  She wrote that she couldn’t shield her children from everything — but she hoped the world would become softer, safer, more understanding.
The mystery of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has taken its darkest turn yet. Authorities have unmasked a suspect whose ties lead directly back to the family—specifically a close link to Nancy’s son-in-law. This revelation has forced police to peel back the layers of a complex relationship that may have fueled the entire tragedy. It wasn’t just an abduction; it was a betrayal from the inside.
After months of stalled leads and unanswered questions, a major breakthrough has reportedly shifted the focus of the investigation dramatically. Former detective Gary Jubelin has weighed in, suggesting the case may now center on someone inside the home — a possibility few were prepared to confront.  Authorities say they are treating the situation as a serious criminal matter, with mounting fears about what may have happened in those critical early hours. And according to sources close to the investigation, one newly uncovered detail has effectively erased the last fragile hope that Gus would be found alive.  What changed? What did investigators discover that altered the entire direction of the case?
