The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, has become one of 2026’s most haunting mysteries. What started as a routine welfare check in the quiet foothills of Tucson has escalated into a sprawling, multi-agency investigation involving local authorities and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now, a shocking new development has intensified the case: forensic teams have excavated a garden at the home of Nancy’s daughter, Annie Guthrie, in search of critical evidence that could reshape the entire timeline of the crime.
