Nancy Guthrie’s Friends Told to Remain Quiet Amid Investigation
What To Know
- Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 1, with police suspecting she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona.
- Her church friends, who first raised the alarm about her disappearance, have remained silent.
- Fear and uncertainty due to the unidentified suspect(s) have contributed to the reluctance of Tucson residents to speak publicly.
As the Nancy Guthrie investigation enters its fourth month, questions have started to emerge surrounding the 84-year-old’s church friends and why they’ve remained silent.
NewsNation’s Brian Entin, who has been covering the case in detail since the start, told Parade that he’s heard from several people who claim the Guthries asked Nancy’s friends not to speak out yet. And he thinks that one of the reasons they are staying silent is a fear of reprisals.
“We’ve heard from several that the Guthrie family has asked Nancy’s close friends to keep things private right now,” Entin told the outlet. “You haven’t seen a lot of her close friends come forward and talk about her, which is different than other cases.”
Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today’s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since the early hours of February 1, when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. While investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and a description of that individual, no suspects have been named.
Nancy’s church friends were the first to contact the family after she didn’t turn up at a friend’s house on February 1, where they had planned to watch a livestream of mass. Since then, however, little has been heard from Nancy’s close friends.
Entin suggested that one reason for the silence is fear, especially among Tucson locals. The fact that the suspect(s) haven’t been identified, let alone caught, has put people on edge.
“I also think people here are still nervous about the whole thing,” Entin said. “For us covering it, we live in different states, but people who live here in Tucson, especially in the neighborhood, these kinds of things don’t happen, and the fact that there’s no new information and they have no idea who did it, I think people are just still nervous about the whole thing, which might be why you don’t see as many people talking about it.”
He added, “It’s been interesting to see who wants to talk and who doesn’t…. No one has said anything.”
Entin, who will host NewsNation Presents: The Nancy Guthrie Mystery, which airs on the CW on Wednesday (May 6), said he tried to reach out to some of Guthrie’s church friends for the special but was unsuccessful.

They can go back in time on satellite and look at that night. They have had this tech for years. They used it in OJ Simpson but it was dark. But this person has a flashlight in his mouth. The person to ask is Elon Musk. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Every time he helps people he catches crap. He does not seem to be appreciated. But then he isn't an asshole either. People have treated the guy like shit. He sent a rocket to rescue astraunauts .....Gave starlink , free to Ukraine , sent starlink to storm ravaged areas , set up DOGE to help root out waste and corruption and look what people did to him. Paint him as a villain when this country owes him a debt of gratitude. But he would still help if possible. Because that's the guy he is. To be honest I think that sheriff knows exactly what happened. Trying for a payday before retirement.

Yes, Elon should go down in history as being one of the best Americans of all time, no doubt. But this is about Nancy, I really don't have a opinion cause honestly it's a weird situation. Do they know more then what they are telling us, of Course. I'm assuming she is no longer with us. I hope she went peacefully with grace and dignity, and the captures gave her a descent burial. God will prevail, he has taken care of her, may her family overcome the pain and in time also be at peace in their hearts. I believe she would want them to move on, even as hard as it is, God will be with them.

Made them stop.So the trucks just had to sit there with all of the food spoiling in the back instead of giving it to the people so that they didn't starve he just let it spoil, and If he was so worried about fraud waste and abuse than he would not take so much from our government and not take other people's contracts and give them to himself when he already has enough and when he isnt even honoring his end of the contract which is why he was being investigated in the first place. He is disgusting and rigged the election for Trump so that he could stop the investigations into hisself and so that he could steal all of our data and steal some more contracts. This whole administration is a disgusting circus of embarrassment of the worst people in the country, not one of them has any morals or character or can think for themselves, they literally stand there like robots and just spew whatever lies trump is telling that day, word for word, they don't even stop to think what they're saying they just repeat him over and over. That is a brainwashed cult, it's sad that you guys support a child molester that lusts after his own daughter, I pray you dont have daughters or granddaughter because I would feel they are in danger around you if you dont see a problem with trump

There not even sure now it was the night in question now. Havnt you been watching the news this is already been addressed on the time line being off and her being at all where she claimed to be about 3 weeks back. They went back about 2 weeks now looking for evidence from that time period instead now is the focus

Why can't the FBI use technology like secret service did in Greg biffles home being burglarized and using facial recognition and other technology why can't they do it and Miss Guthrie's case what's the problem.

I heard an ex FBI agent say that they do believe because of the quality of the photo of his face that they will be able to get some data from that technology to rule in or out people for sure.

It is because we have a completely incompetent FBI now, which we have never had before. Our FBI director is more worried about drinking and using our jets to go vacation with his girlfriend than do any actual work, but I think that even if he did try and work he wouldn't get very far because he is a complete moron with absolutely no experience just like the rest of the circus of an administration.

The scene was so contaminated by the intial when they called in the sheriff they messed up everything to such an extent by the time even the FBI got there it was rediclous is what is being said....thats 90% of the reason they never had much evidence to go on and the little they were able to pull out this huge bunder is taking so long to get back from the crime labs. I think I heard he was fired a few weeks back or is going be soon. Its so sad when he knew and it was so unexceptable becuse of him they so min to go on, unless comes forward it will most likely never be solved.

I have looked at that masked individual from the camera footage the police released and all i can see is the eyes and part of a mustache. The son in law Tommasso supposedly drove her home after dinner but there is no evidence of that because the cameras at Nancy guthries house were disabled. I believe she never made it home at all that night and the suspect or suspects in this case is right in front of their noses. I would suggest that the FBI question Tommasso heavily along with his closest friends in the Tucson area.

Too much blood in the house for her not being killed or taken from her home. The outside amount of blood was min to what was all over inside. But now the question more has to do with the time line. They pulled all the areas cameras for 2 weeks before. There questions on if she really with anyone that day...evidence is pointing to an early time this all went down.quite a mystery they have!

Why is the satellites that beam from the sky
Pickup anything. They can pick up other things and situations on the ground. I’ve watched them with my house driveway. Cars in driveway and so forth.
