For over five months, Nancy Guthrie has been missing. Despite efforts from the FBI and Google, who retrieved crucial Nest doorbell footage, her whereabouts are still unknown. Two men were detained and later released, and thousands of tips have been explored.
Herman Weisberg, an ex-NYPD detective now with SAGE Intelligence, remains hopeful. He stresses the importance of patience, suggesting that one critical phone call could solve the case. ‘The 7,001st call could be the one,’ he noted in an interview with Fox News Digital.
The case has attracted significant public interest, which Weisberg views as an asset. He draws parallels to other high-profile cases like Gabby Petito’s, where public involvement was pivotal. Similarly, in the Boston Marathon bombing, public tips helped track down the suspects. Elizabeth Smart’s rescue also depended on vigilant citizens.
Crowdsourcing solves cases these days. Armchair detectives and true crime enthusiasts often provide valuable information.
Pima County deputies continue to investigate flyers and tips related to Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old mother of ‘Today’ co-host Savannah Guthrie, was believed to have been abducted on February 1.
Weisberg remains surprised that digital forensics hasn’t resolved the situation yet, unlike the Kohberger case in Idaho where technology was key. He considers the possibility that the crime went differently than intended, making it harder to trace.
There is also the possibility that investigators have information the public is unaware of. ‘They could be working on a lead right now,’ Weisberg suggests. The Guthrie family, alongside officials, continues to urge the public for tips.
Photos released by the FBI on February 10, 2026, display a ‘subject’ on Nancy Guthrie’s property. Rewards exceeding $1.2 million are offered, including a $1 million family contribution for information leading to her recovery.
The Guthrie family urges anyone with information to contact authorities. Tips can be directed to 1-800-CALL-FBI or Tucson’s Crime Stoppers at 1-520-882-7463.
