It’s been twelve days since a terrifying masked and armed intruder showed up on the doorstep of Nancy Guthrie’s desert hideaway in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills, wearing what appears to be boxing gloves, gun tucked into a front-waisted holster.
Sometime in the inky darkness of the post-midnight morning on Feb. 1, the 84-year-old was apparently dragged from her home, leaving behind stains of her own blood on her front steps. In the long, agonizing and chaotic days since her children – among them “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, along with daughter Annie and son Camron – have pleaded for her safe return, investigators are working around the clock to identify the menacing individual at her door.

On Thursday morning, Savannah posted a heart-wrenching montage of photos of her mom as a young woman set to the song “May You Find a Light” as an Instagram reel, writing, “we will never give up on her.” The FBI said it is continuing a grid search along roadways in Nancy Guthrie’s upscale neighborhood.
Investigators have been stymied by a lack of leads. Multiple ransom demands have been sent to various media outlets, but the family was not contacted, officials say. A Hawthorne man out on bail in connection with a sprawling Los Angeles County employee overtime scam taken down by L.A. county prosecutors tried, and failed, to capitalize on the Guthrie family’s pain for profit and found himself bundled into handcuffs by an FBI SWAT team last week. Derrick Callella is now facing federal charges in Arizona.
Earlier this week, investigators grilled a man after a traffic stop and executed a search warrant at his Rio Rico home, an unincorporated town about an hour south of Tucson and close to the Mexican border. He was released and is no longer considered a suspect.
By Thursday, media who had been camped on the ordinarily sleepy road outside Nancy Guthrie’s million-dollar mansion watched as investigators erected a tent over the steps that were stained with her own blood, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is asking the community to turn over all video footage, including vehicles, vehicle traffic, people and pedestrians, and anything that “neighbors deem out of the ordinary or important to our investigation.”
The Sheriff’s Department said Thursday, “several items of evidence” were found at the residence, including a pair of gloves that are now being processed by the FBI crime lab.
