In the quiet Catalina Foothills overlooking Tucson, Arizona, a peaceful retirement community became the center of a disturbing missing-persons case. On Saturday, January 31, 2026, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie spent the evening with relatives before being driven home shortly before 10 p.m. She was last seen entering her house.
By the next day she had vanished. Authorities found blood on the porch, later confirmed to be hers, while her phone, smartwatch, and car remained inside. Her Ring doorbell camera had been disconnected during the night, removing any video evidence. Because she had limited mobility and required daily medication, investigators quickly ruled out a voluntary disappearance.
Digital clues suggested unusual activity around 1:47 a.m., when the camera went offline, followed by movement alerts and the disconnection of her pacemaker app shortly afterward. Law enforcement believes she may have been taken against her will.
The FBI joined local authorities, offering a reward for information and searching nearby properties. Despite national attention and reported ransom communications, no suspects have been publicly identified and no confirmed proof of life has emerged.
The case remains open as investigators continue gathering evidence and the family urges anyone with information to come forward.
