Authorities are widening their search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, after revealing law enforcement is investigating new leads.
“Many of you observed an active presence at the Guthrie residences over the weekend. That activity will continue tonight and into tomorrow as part of the ongoing investigative process, including the expansion of the search and follow-up on new leads,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced via social media on Monday, February 9. . “This is all part of the investigative process, as the search for Nancy expands and new leads come in.”
Details of the “new leads” were not publicly released “to preserve the integrity of this criminal investigation.”
The authorities also stated that the FBI will handle “all aspects related to any ransom note(s) or communications involving the Guthrie family.”
If anyone has additional information about Nancy’s whereabouts they are encouraged to contact law enforcement through the tip lines 1-800-CALL-FBI, the PCSD non-emergency line at 520-351-4900 or 88-CRIME.
NewsNation reporter Brian Entin shared an additional statement issued by the FBI in relation to the ongoing criminal investigation on Monday via X.
“The FBI is not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers, nor have we identified a suspect or person of interest in this case at this time,” the statement read.
Earlier this month, Nancy was reported missing in Tucson, Arizona, by her family after she was last seen the previous evening. A friend of Nancy’s noticed that she did not attend that Sunday’s church service and alerted one of Nancy’s children, who checked on her home before contacting the police. (In addition to Savannah, Nancy shares daughter Annie and son Camron with late husband Charles Guthrie.)
Law enforcement officials believe that Nancy was taken from her home, as the elderly woman has mobility issues that would have made it difficult for her to leave on her own. Nancy also takes daily medications and missing a dose could be fatal.
Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN9 reported that multiple alleged ransom letters were sent to various media outlets amid Nancy’s disappearance. One note demanded $6 million in bitcoin in exchange for her safe return, while a man named Derrick Callella was arrested for sending a fake ransom note to the Guthrie family.
The FBI has reportedly reviewed a ransom note sent to a local news station amid the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie.

Amid the alleged ransom notes, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared in a Friday, February 6, statement that “the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie.” Nanos added the message was being “inspected” by investigators for “its authenticity.”
Earlier on Monday, Savannah, 54, shared a video ahead of an alleged ransom note’s 5 p.m. MST deadline. The Today host thanked her followers for their prayers and asked for their help in bringing her mom home.
“We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock, trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we need your help,” Savannah said in the clip. “So, I’m coming on just to ask you, not just for your prayers, but no matter where you are, even if you’re far from Tucson, if you see anything, you hear anything, if there’s anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement.”
