Investigators removed a broken floodlight from Nancy Guthrie’s residence as the search continues for the 84-year-old, who vanished from her Tucson-area home. Video footage revealed two potential floodlights near her property, including one damaged fixture hanging by wires in her backyard. This evidence aligns with reports of a ransom note mentioning a “floodlight” and an Apple Watch, though FBI officials declined to share specifics to protect the ongoing investigation.
Authorities also seized a blue Subaru SUV linked to Guthrie and a wired camera from her rooftop. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed reviewing “multiple pieces of evidence” but withheld further details, emphasizing it’s standard practice to gather nearby surveillance footage.
A potential lead emerged when Circle K shared store video from Oracle Road after a tip about a vehicle of interest. Guthrie, mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on February 1 after missing church. She was last seen on January 31 when her son-in-law dropped her off following a family dinner. Police are treating her Catalina Foothills home as a crime scene, believing she was taken against her will—possibly while asleep.
