25L Ozark Trail backpack (Walmart exclusive)

Timeline (Jan 31 - Feb 16)

· Jan 31 Evening: Nancy dropped home after daughter Annie’s gathering.

· ~9:30 PM: Last seen.

· Feb 1 Noon: Family reports missing.

· Feb 2: Doorbell video released – man covers camera with brush.

· Feb 14: House search (2 miles away) – foreign DNA + Nancy’s blood on porch.

· Feb 15: Glove DNA match.

Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1, 2026. Last seen the night before at a family get-together, she missed church the next day, sparking alarm. Authorities suspect abduction after doorbell cam caught a masked man in gloves trying to block the lens with brush. The video shows him around 2 AM, armed and sneaky. FBI says he’s 5’9” to 5’10” tall, average build, wearing a Walmart-bought mask and clothes, plus an Ozark Trail backpack sold only there.

Investigators scoured nearby fields and found 16 gloves but one stood out – DNA on it matches the suspect’s glove in the video. Recovered 2 miles from Nancy’s house, it’s now under lab scrutiny for an “unknown male profile” to enter into databases. No ransom note yet but a possible one mentioned a “floodlight,” tying to lights at her home. A search warrant hit a nearby residence on February 13 but no arrests. Nancy’s health is a big worry – she’s frail and needs meds with no cognitive issues reported.

Savannah, the “Today” show co-anchor, has been vocal, posting videos begging for her mom’s safe return. Her latest on February 15 pleads directly to the abductor or anyone knowing her whereabouts, stressing mercy and hope. The case echoes other high-profile missing persons but the glove DNA is a fresh lead boosting optimism.

Savannah’s Plea (Feb 16)

· Video Message
“Whoever has her or knows – it’s never too late to do the right thing. We still have hope.”

· Savannah Guthrie in her video plea: “It’s never too late to do the right thing. Whoever has her or knows where she is, please let her go. We still have hope.”

· FBI statement on glove: “The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video.”

· Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos: “She’s not in good physical health but no reported cognitive issues – her health may be at severe risk without medication.”

· From X user @ginamilan_ (post on Feb 6, 2026): “The FBI absolutely knows far more than they’re admitting about who abducted Nancy Guthrie. SIX days. Not a single suspect detail released.”

· From X user @FoxTrueCrime (post on Feb 8, 2026): “ILLUMINATING CLUE: The FBI says a possible ransom note in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance mentioned a ‘floodlight.’”

Reward: $100K (doubled). Nancy needs life meds, mobility impaired.

This case hits hard – a beloved TV star’s mom missing shakes families everywhere, raising kidnapping fears in quiet areas like Tucson. Emotionally, Savannah’s “it’s never too late” plea inspires hope but highlights agony for loved ones. Publicly, it boosts awareness on elder safety with X users calling for better home cams and neighborhood watches.

Investigatively, the glove DNA could crack it but delays in results frustrate. Reward hike might bring tips but false leads (like discarded gloves) waste time.

If solved, it could push for faster DNA tech in probes.
