Guthrie family thanks Tucson, asks people to not forget mother’s case
The Guthrie family shared their appreciation for the support received from Tucson residents during a special report aired Saturday. They emphasized the importance of remembering Nancy Guthrie’s case, who went missing seven weeks ago and is believed to have been abducted. “We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now,” the family stated in a message to NBC affiliate KVOA.
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now.
The family encouraged the community to review security footage and revisit their memories for any clues related to Nancy’s disappearance. They highlighted specific dates—Jan. 11, Feb. 1, and Jan. 31—as critical periods to focus on. Any video evidence, written notes, messages, or observations might lead to new insights, they said. “It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant,” the family added. “No detail is too small. It may be the key.”
Savannah Guthrie, Nancy’s daughter, echoed this message on Instagram early Sunday morning. She noted that someone in Southern Arizona could hold vital information “they do not even realize is significant.” The post also included a heartfelt tribute to Nancy, stating, “We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life, but we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place or rest.”
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 at approximately 9:45 p.m., according to officials. She went missing on Feb. 1 from her home near Tucson. Investigators have shown interest in Jan. 11, requesting camera footage from that morning, though the reason for this focus remains unclear. A masked man was captured on doorbell surveillance, and some of Nancy’s blood was found on the porch. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that the crime appears targeted.
The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for Nancy’s safe return, while the FBI, assisting in the investigation, is also providing a $50,000 incentive. Flowers and encouraging notes have been left at Nancy’s residence, showing continued community support. In their message to KVOA, the family said, “Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.” They added, “We miss our mom with every breath and we cannot be in peace until she is home.” “We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder. Our focus is solely on finding her and bringing her home,” the family concluded.
