Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home on January 31st when her son-in-law dropped her off there after an evening at her daughter’s house nearby. She lived alone.
Just hours later it is believed she was abducted from her home, her disappearance reported by friends the following day when she failed to show up for a church service.
As the daughter of Savannah Guthrie, presenter of NBC’s Today show, she is well-known to audiences having appeared several times on screen.
Every step of the investigation by local police and the FBI has been poured over by US media and true crime amateur sleuths.

And there have been some sensational moments; from the release of eerie door-cam footage which showed an armed man on her porch on the night she went missing to the multiple ransom requests that have been made.

Richard Ruelas reporter from Arizona Republic has been covering the case from the beginning, visiting the scene many times and following every development.
He explains why this case has gripped the US.
