Nancy Guthrie‘s neighbor experienced an internet outage the night Nancy disappeared. The FBI is probing the matter, according to NewsNation reporter Brian Entin.
In a March 6,2026, X post, Entin said,
The FBI is looking into a possible internet outage during the time Nancy Guthrie went missing. One neighbor tells me his ring camera history is mysteriously ‘not available’ the night Nancy disappeared.”
The Nancy Guthrie Disappearance
Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Feb. 1, 2026, after she failed to appear at church a day after being dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson, Arizona, on the night of Jan. 31.
Investigators believe she was abducted from her home during the early hours of Feb. 1, with evidence including blood samples on the porch and surveillance footage showing a masked man tampering with her doorbell camera and carrying a backpack; her pacemaker monitoring connection and camera system also disconnected around the time she disappeared.
Investigators believe her home security camera was intentionally disabled shortly before the disappearance, and the suspect appears to have covered or interfered with the device, preventing it from clearly recording the moment of the abduction.
Guthrie evidence and dead ends
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department investigations have released images of the suspect and explored evidence such as ransom emails, a glove with DNA that ultimately did not match a suspect, and a search warrant executed at a nearby home that resulted in no charges.
Authorities have also examined whether a Wi-Fi disruption or signal-jamming device may have been used during the abduction, and reviewed sales records tied to the suspect’s backpack while continuing neighborhood canvassing more than a month later. Authorities have said the backpack did not lead to a suspect.
Despite Entin mentioning an internet outage, investigators say neighboring doorbell and security cameras elsewhere in the Catalina Foothills area captured limited footage the night Nancy vanished.
According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, video from nearby homes shows a masked individual moving around the neighborhood in the early-morning hours of Feb. 1, 2026, around the time authorities believe Guthrie was taken.
Detectives have canvassed the neighborhood for additional footage to track the person’s route before and after the suspected abduction. The available video has not yet been clear enough to identify the individual.
The investigation continues
Investigators are stitching together a timeline using limited data from several home security systems. Detectives have relied heavily on neighboring camera footage and other digital evidence as they continue the search for leads.
The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery or an arrest, but as of early March 2026 no suspects have been publicly identified and Nancy whereabouts remain unknown
