Nancy Guthrie Church Detail Wrong

A source close to the Guthrie family is disputing early reports in the high-profile missing persons case involving Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. The source tells Fox News that Nancy had no plans to attend an in-person church service in Tucson on Sunday, Feb. 1, despite initial reports suggesting she was reported missing after failing to show up at a local church that morning.
Instead, the source says Nancy had, since the COVID-19 pandemic, been attending a small Sunday gathering at friends’ homes to watch a livestreamed service from a New York church that Savannah Guthrie attends. On Feb. 1, Nancy was expected at a friend’s home for the usual livestream service. When she did not arrive and friends could not reach her, one of them contacted Nancy’s daughter Annie, who then alerted authorities. The FBI said Monday it is not aware of any ongoing communications between the Guthrie family and any suspected kidnappers, according to the AP.
Authorities report that Nancy was last seen Saturday night when her son-in-law dropped her off after dinner with him and Annie. The search has since expanded to include FBI agents canvassing the Tucson neighborhood and a sustained law enforcement presence at the Guthrie homes. A manhole and septic tank at Nancy’s home have been searched, Fox 10 reports. The home of Annie and her husband, located about four miles away, has also been searched, which authorities describe to Today as “part of the normal course” of an investigation, E! News reports.
The case has drawn significant attention amid reports of an alleged ransom note with deadlines that passed Monday night without resolution or proof of life. Officials have not publicly verified the note. Authorities say thousands of tips have been received and urge anyone with information to contact the FBI, the sheriff’s non-emergency line, or local crime stoppers. Investigators report following “new leads” but have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or associated vehicles.
