As of March 24, 2026, Nancy Guthrie has not been found, and authorities have not announced an arrest or identified a suspect publicly. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are still treating the case as an active investigation. The FBI continues to offer up to $100,000 for information leading to Nancy’s location or the arrest and conviction of those responsible, while the Guthrie family has publicly added a $1 million family reward.

Reporting published today says the investigation remains active nearly two months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson-area home. Sheriff Chris Nanos again defended the handling of the case and urged whoever may be holding Nancy to let her go. At the same time, new reporting emphasized that investigators are still sorting through digital evidence and trying to determine whether suspicious activity connected to the property happened before the abduction. One key point today is that the sheriff’s office had earlier asked the public for footage tied to January 11, but that request was later pulled back after Google reportedly said the date of a Nest-related image could not be confirmed.
March 23, 2026
A major clarification emerged on March 23: investigators had previously focused on January 11 because they believed an image from the property may have come from that date, possibly suggesting surveillance of Nancy’s home weeks before she vanished. But after further communication with Google, authorities learned the exact date of that image could not be confirmed, and the sheriff withdrew that request for January 11 footage as a firm lead. Even with that correction, investigators are still reviewing video, digital evidence, and DNA, and they still believe the case was likely targeted.
March 22, 2026
On March 22, the Guthrie family publicly renewed its appeal for help from the Tucson and southern Arizona community. In their statement, they asked people to revisit anything they may have overlooked, including camera footage, text messages, notes, observations, and conversations, especially around January 31, the early hours of February 1, and also January 11. The family said they “cannot be in peace” and cannot properly grieve until Nancy is brought home. Associated Press coverage the same day also reported that the family continues to believe that someone in the community may hold the crucial clue that breaks the case open.
ABC News also published a fuller public timeline on March 22, reinforcing the known chronology of Nancy’s last confirmed movements and the overnight window investigators believe she was taken. That timeline continues to underpin much of the public understanding of the case.
March 21, 2026
The family’s renewed plea was shared during a Tucson television special, “Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.” In that message, relatives stressed that even a detail that seemed meaningless at the time could matter now. They specifically urged the public to think back carefully to those key dates and times and to contact the FBI or the sheriff’s department with anything relevant.

Coverage around March 20 noted Savannah Guthrie’s first social-media activity in nearly three weeks as the search continued. While that was not a law-enforcement breakthrough, it marked the family’s continued effort to keep public attention on the case. Reporting around that date also reiterated that investigators still believe Nancy was kidnapped and that the family reward had risen well beyond the FBI’s official reward.
March 16, 2026
ABC News reported on March 16 that the FBI had recovered additional camera photos from Nancy Guthrie’s property and that investigators were reviewing them. This was important because the publicly released doorbell footage had already shown a masked individual near the home, and any extra stills or thumbnails could help investigators refine the suspect timeline or identify movements around the scene.
March 14, 2026
Two days earlier, ABC News reported that the FBI had accessed thumbnail images from motion-activated cameras at the Guthrie home. That suggested digital forensics was continuing to produce usable material from devices at or around the property, even after the disappearance itself had occurred weeks earlier.
March 12, 2026
By March 12, Sheriff Chris Nanos publicly said investigators believed they had some understanding of why the perpetrator acted and that they believed the case was targeted, though he also said authorities were not “100% sure.” That remains one of the strongest public statements about investigative direction: law enforcement appears to think this was not random, even though they have not disclosed a motive publicly.
March 5, 2026
Around early March, Savannah Guthrie made an emotional visit back to the Today show set and told colleagues she was still standing, still had hope, and intended to return. This was not an investigative development in itself, but it underscored that the family was still actively seeking resolution and trying to keep the case in public view while authorities continued their work behind the scenes.
February 26, 2026
ABC News reported that the FBI was turning Nancy Guthrie’s home back over to the family about a month after the abduction and that the FBI was moving its command post to Phoenix to continue reviewing evidence. That move suggested investigators were shifting from a heavy on-scene evidence phase toward a more centralized analysis phase focused on digital, forensic, and case-review work.
February 10, 2026
The FBI publicly released photos and video showing an armed individual appearing to tamper with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door on the morning of her disappearance. The FBI said Nancy was last seen at her residence on the evening of January 31, 2026, described her as a vulnerable adult with difficulty walking, a pacemaker, and a heart condition requiring daily medication, and announced a public reward for information. This remains one of the most important official pieces of evidence released in the case.
February 1, 2026
According to the ABC timeline based on sheriff’s statements, investigators believe Nancy was abducted in her sleep early that morning. The key sequence publicly described is: her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., the software detected a person on camera at 2:12 a.m., her pacemaker app disconnected from her phone at 2:28 a.m., relatives went to the home later that morning, and a 911 call was placed at 12:03 p.m. after she was found missing.
January 31, 2026
Nancy’s last known confirmed evening has also been laid out publicly. ABC’s timeline says she took an Uber to a daughter’s home for dinner at 5:32 p.m. and was dropped back at her own home at 9:48 p.m. The garage door reportedly closed at 9:50 p.m. That places Nancy safely at home only a few hours before investigators believe the abduction occurred.
What the latest update means
The newest reporting does not show a breakthrough such as a recovery, arrest, or announced suspect. What it does show is this: the family has deliberately renewed its public pressure campaign, investigators are still reviewing recovered digital material, and one potentially significant earlier date — January 11 — is now more uncertain than previously suggested because the date attached to a surveillance image could not be verified. The investigation still appears active, but publicly it remains in an evidence-review phase rather than an arrest phase.
Key facts confirmed right now
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at home on the night of January 31, 2026. Investigators believe she was abducted in the early hours of February 1. Authorities have released footage of a masked person at her door, continue to analyze digital and DNA evidence, and say the case appears targeted. The FBI reward remains up to $100,000, and the family has publicly raised the total reward effort with an additional $1 million family offer. As of March 24, 2026, Nancy Guthrie is still missing.
