Escalation: Sheriff Nanos probes home-invasion link

Sheriff Chris Nanos is investigating a possible connection between the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and a home invasion that took place about 30 miles from her home in the Catalina Foothills, Arizona, on July 22, 2026.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing for nearly six months. She is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a co-anchor on the 'Today' show.

Investigators have recovered hair from Guthrie's home, but it has not yet led to any suspects in her case. This lack of progress has raised concerns among the public and her family.

The investigation has faced challenges, including a delay in involving the FBI, which may have resulted in the loss of crucial video evidence related to her disappearance.

Additionally, a recall effort against Sheriff Nanos, who is leading the investigation, has failed due to insufficient petition signatures.
