What To Know

According to the sheriff's office in an X post, "Investigators have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles connected to Nancy Guthrie. Anyone who believes they have information that may assist investigators is asked to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or the PCSD non-emergency line at 520-351-4900, or 88-CRIME."

The PCSD also notes that there are no scheduled press briefings at this time, and "Should a significant development occur, a press conference will be called, & media will be notified via email & our @pimasheriff X account."

Nancy is the mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie. In a post to her Instagram account on Monday, Savannah urged for the public to report anything unusual to law enforcement.

"Thank you so much for all of the prayers," Guthrie said in part. "We believe our mom is still out there, we need your help."

In an email update shared with Newsweek, the PCSD said about the investigation: "Many of you observed an active law enforcement 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. This is all part of the investigative process, as the search for Nancy expands and new leads come in. To preserve the integrity of this criminal investigation, details of that process are not being released at this time."

What People Are Saying

Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, on X Monday: "Savannah Guthrie's appearance in her latest plea: If anyone has ever been attacked or spoken with predators who attack, they absolutely thrive on seeing fear, terror, and weakness in their victims. The sick $%@&s involved in terrorizing Savannah and her family are No different. They just did their assualt [sic] over paper. Thus, the FBI had Savannah come in strong, unfettered and ignoring these attention seeking leaches. It was a strong move and a strong message. No more play for them. Onto the business at hand and that is finding Nancy! Savannah you are a pillar. I know that was so hard! #NancyGuthrieKidnapping #SavannahGuthrie"

The FBI, on Monday in a statement to KOLD News: "For more than a week, FBI agents, analysts, and professional staff have worked around the clock to reunite Nancy Guthrie with her family. 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. Additional personnel from FBI field offices across the nation continue to deploy to Tucson. We are currently operating a 24-hour command post that includes crisis management experts, analytic support, and investigative teams. But we still need the public's help. Someone has that one piece of information that can help us bring Nancy home. We need that person to share what they know. Please call us at 1-800-CALL-FBI."
