Is anyone following the Nancy Guthrie case?

Couldn't see a thread

Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mum of a US TV newsreader, is thought to have been kidnapped from her home

Does anyone think this is weird and that there's more to the story?

I believe the ransom deadline has also passed.

I can't imagine how I would feel if this happened to my vulnerable mum. I hope she's found soon

I’ve just started following this. The eyebrows on the person at the door are so strange surely it has to be woman?

Looks like a woman to me.

CandiedPrincess · 10/02/2026 21:31

Eyes seem quite feminine but then is that a tache?

Yes I think it's a tache

The eyebrows are very distinct. Whoever knows this person will recognise those features. They may release an e fit of what they think the person looks like unmasked

I don’t think it looks like a woman when you see the footage of the person walking around. Their gait and build looks distinctly male to me.

I hope that poor woman is ok.

Ohhhthedrama · 10/02/2026 21:45

I don't think that's eyebrows, I think it's a shadow of the cutouts in the Balaclava. It does give the illusion of sculpted brows.

There are quite a few amateur sluths now quoting the following by Arthur Conan Doyle:

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

After giving this some thought and thinking out of the box (and apologies if I'm going down a rabbit hole) but that image of a masked person at the door - do you think it could be the actual mother and this is an inside job?

https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2026-02-10/nancy-guthrie-investigation-why-video-of-masked-person-video-is-such-game-changer

"The images, recorded at 1:47 a.m. on Feb. 1, show an individual, wearing a balaclava, gloves and a backpack, appearing to tamper with the camera at Guthrie’s front porch the morning of her disappearance. A gun is holstered around the person’s waist, positioned at the front of their body and easily visible."

The image on here is very much male

FBI released this image showing an armed individual at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

Why video of a masked intruder is such a game-changer in the Nancy Guthrie investigation

More than a week after Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her Tucson home, authorities offered few clues.

Reddit thinks it’s someone called Dominic Evans, a bandmate of the son-in-law. They do look a bit similar…

RonaldMcDonaldTrump · 10/02/2026 21:47

I've just seen on Reddit that the eyebrows are apparently not eyebrows, it's a lining that forms parts of the mask

I also thought it weird that the church had a full service organised the next morning with a big photo of the poor woman.
There’s something off here

BallerinaFall · 10/02/2026 21:50

Yes I just saw that @TigTails

I read that the next day she didn't turn up for a church service and that triggered a call to the family not a remembrance service or anything

Good gosh, the eyes are very similar 😯

Either way I really hope this is the key to catching whoever it is and rescuing this poor lady!

Ohhhthedrama · 10/02/2026 22:08

There's so much speculation flying around Reddit. I saw someone say this morning she hasn't even attended church in person since COVID. She switched up to attending on Zoom.

It really does look like him. Unfortunate if it’s not him. Must be horrific for her other daughter with all this speculation.

Manifesto · 10/02/2026 22:30

Covering the door camera with foliage seems extremely amateurish.
it’s a very peaceful neighbourhood apparently and frankly the statistics of adult kidnapping cases in the US are small.
I hope they find her safely soon .

If it’s not I hope he has a very good alibi to definitively clear his name!

I’ve been following this. I’ve just discovered that Savannah Guthrie interviewed many of the Epstein victims ahead of his trial. The timing seems very suspicious, but no links have been made in Western MSM. It’s been reported in the Hindustan Times, as well as SM.

I'm going with this. She is a journalist and we know what Trump does to anyone who has dirt on him.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 10/02/2026 22:43

I have been following this since the get go and whilst I don't know anything about Savannah Guthrie, I believe she is a newsreader so not exactly a multimillionaire. It seems so unusually random to kidnap her mother.

That security camera footage also scared the crap out of me when it popped up on the news earlier too.

Countrylife2002 · 10/02/2026 22:47

I’ve had my security camera alerts off but they’re firmly on again now

TokyoSushi · 10/02/2026 22:47

I’ve obviously no idea what’s happened here but there’s definitely something very odd about the whole thing.

Countrylife2002 · 10/02/2026 22:49

Having seen the vid now it’s obviously a man

i presume the FBI have seen all the security camera footage going as far back as possible in case this person has been to the house unmasked previously - which must be likely

She makes about $8 million a year and has a net worth of $40 million as I recall from an article.

Ohhhthedrama · 10/02/2026 23:05

@AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta- She's most definitely a multi millionaire. She's the Co anchor of the Today show, had a very successful career in Journalism And she's an attorney.
