Authorities Share Findings About a New Message in the Nancy Guthrie Investigation
Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie have determined that a recently reported message claiming to be connected to her case is not credible. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared the update after investigators reviewed information about the message with the FBI. Officials are continuing to encourage the public to report suspicious communications and avoid responding to unverified claims.
According to the sheriff’s department, investigators became aware of the newly reported message on September 28. The information prompted further review as authorities worked to determine whether it had any legitimate connection to the ongoing investigation. After examining the available details, investigators concluded that the message was not credible in relation to the case.
Officials have also addressed concerns about messages circulating online. They are reminding the public that information shared through social media or private communications should not automatically be considered accurate. Anyone who receives a message claiming to provide information about Nancy Guthrie is encouraged to contact law enforcement rather than share unverified details.
Authorities have issued an additional warning about potential scams connected to the case. They advise people not to send money or disclose personal information in response to unsolicited messages. Such precautions can help individuals protect themselves from misleading claims and financial requests that have not been verified by investigators.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing after she did not attend church as expected. She was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona, on the evening of January 31. Her family contacted authorities the following day when they realized she was missing.
During the investigation, several media organizations reportedly received communications claiming to be connected to the disappearance. Authorities have previously indicated that some messages were considered illegitimate attempts to obtain money. Investigators have reviewed available information and encouraged anyone with potentially relevant details to share them through official channels.
Law enforcement agencies have also released photographs and video footage connected to the investigation in an effort to gather additional information. The case remains an active matter for authorities, who continue to assess information and follow up on relevant leads. Officials are asking the public to rely on verified updates from law enforcement and avoid spreading unsupported claims about the circumstances of the disappearance.
Anyone with information that could assist investigators should contact the appropriate law enforcement agency. People who receive suspicious messages should preserve the relevant information and report it to authorities without sending money or sharing sensitive details. Official updates remain the most reliable source for information about the investigation.
