Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation
An 84-year-old woman vanishes from her Tucson home. No witnesses. No ransom call that makes sense. And a family waiting in the kind of silence that breaks people. Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—disappeared on January 24, 2025, setting off a national investigation that has exposed deep dysfunction between federal and local law enforcement. This is Finding Nancy—the only podcast dedicated entirely to this case. Hosted by Tony Brueski, veteran true crime podcaster and Court TV legal analyst, this channel delivers daily monologues breaking down every development as it happens, multi-part expert interview series with former FBI agents, behavioral analysts, and criminal defense attorneys, and unflinching analysis of the investigative failures, jurisdictional conflicts, and unanswered questions surrounding this case.

Nancy Guthrie: The Note That Might Be a Confession
Five months after Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her home, a detail that had been kept private was finally made public. A second note sent to a Tucson station days after the abduction claimed Nancy died shortly after she was taken. The senders expressed regret. They made no more demands. Investigators have reportedly described the note as a legitimate communication from the actual kidnappers.Fo
What the FBI Did About Nancy Guthrie’s Fake Ransom Notes Changes This Entire Case
Five months after Nancy Guthrie was allegedly taken from her Tucson home, the sheriff leading the case went on local radio and said he thinks the FBI has made “a number of arrests” for fake ransom notes. He thinks. The lead investigator doesn’t know the details of what the FBI has done inside his own investigation.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take apart the listener questions that keep flooding
Nancy Guthrie's 'Porch Guy' — One Agent's Bombshell on the Arrest
After a long stretch of silence, the Nancy Guthrie case got a surge of confidence from an unexpected place. On Megyn Kelly's show, retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell said her sources tell her investigators are closing in on "porch guy," the masked man recorded outside the 84-year-old's home the night she vanished. She placed her confidence at 75 percent and said his identification would open the
Nancy Guthrie's Investigators Won't Say the One Thing Everyone's Waiting For
Behind the headlines, the Nancy Guthrie case may be quietly stuck. Air Mail's Howard Blum reports that the investigators themselves fear an early mistake cost them their best chance to solve the abduction of the 84-year-old grandmother. Suspects reportedly hauled in and released. Leads going nowhere. The task force back on the ransom notes because the trail offered nothing newer. Brian Entin's so
Nancy Guthrie: The Note, the Doubt, and the Arrest That Might Be Coming
The Nancy Guthrie case refuses to settle into one story. The notes contradict each other. One set of reporting says investigators are stuck; another says they're nearly there. Both can't be right — so this full conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on all three threads at once.The notes: a message reportedly claiming the 84-year-old is "buried with nature," a sep
Nancy Guthrie's Note Said WHAT — and Who Actually Sent It?
It started as a search for answers and turned into a pile of contradicting notes. In the Nancy Guthrie case, one message reportedly tied to her abductor says the 84-year-old is "buried with nature." A separate sender told TMZ "time is no longer of the essence." One outlet reports the kidnapper apologized; TMZ says no such thing was ever written. The story can't keep its own facts straight.Retired
The Detail Nancy Guthrie’s Caller Knew That Points to Someone Close
Someone called about Nancy Guthrie and knew what she was wearing. Think about what that means. The FBI has been processing tips for months. Most of them come from people who followed the case on television. A tip that includes what the victim was wearing doesn’t come from watching the news. It comes from someone who saw Nancy after she was taken — or someone who talked to someone who did.And then
Where an Anonymous Caller Says Nancy Guthrie Ended Up
An anonymous tip pointed to a shallow grave near the border. Nancy lives less than seventy miles from Mexico. She was reportedly taken from her bed without shoes, without medication, in the middle of the night. An eighty-four-year-old woman who could barely walk. Getting her out of that house and into another country required planning, a vehicle, a route, and a destination.Now connect the dots. T
What Was Locked Inside the Home Next Door to Nancy Guthrie
Two theories are now pointing in the same direction: Nancy Guthrie wasn’t the target.

Nancy Guthrie: No Proof of Life Was Ever Provided — Every Deadline Passed
Savannah Guthrie told the Today show she believed most of the ransom notes in her mother’s case were fake, but that two the family received and responded to, she tended to believe were real.

Nancy Guthrie: Did Savannah Really Go Back to Work and Smile?
She did. Savannah Guthrie walked into Studio 1A on April 6, sat next to Craig Melvin, and smiled. She introduced the news. She went to the plaza and thanked fans through tears. She wore yellow.

Nancy Guthrie: The Pacemaker Tracker Revealed What?
The protective custody theory says the Nancy Guthrie investigation is a performance. But the technology the FBI deployed doesn’t fit that story.

Nancy Guthrie: Strangers Showed Up at an Innocent Man’s Home Because of YouTube
Dominic Evans never met Nancy Guthrie. He plays drums in a band with her son-in-law. That was enough for the internet. After a podcaster with a large following named Cioni as a prime suspect on her show, online sleuths decided Evans matched the masked figure in the doorbell footage. They compared his build to a grainy nighttime image and declared him the kidnapper. Strangers showed up at his home

Did Someone Come for the Gems Next Door and Take Nancy Guthrie Instead?
Listeners have been digging into the Nancy Guthrie case since the day she disappeared. One of them found a detail that raises a question the investigation hasn’t publicly addressed: a neighbor of Nancy’s with a YouTube channel showing a high-end vault full of rare gems and minerals. The properties reportedly share a Google Maps pin. For months, the audience has asked whether the people who allege
Nancy Guthrie’s Pacemaker Went Dark at 2:28 AM — A Plane Left for Mexico at 4:45
The cornerstone of the Nancy Guthrie cartel theory is a timeline: Nancy’s pacemaker lost its Bluetooth connection at 2:28 AM and a private jet left Tucson for Puerto Vallarta at 4:45 AM. The internet connected those two events into a narrative that went everywhere. But a physician who spoke on the record to People Magazine explained what the pacemaker’s Bluetooth disconnection actually means — an
Nancy Guthrie Doesn't Own Crypto — So Who in Her Neighborhood Does?
Six million dollars in Bitcoin. That was the ransom demand after Nancy Guthrie’s alleged abduction from her home in Catalina Foothills. Nancy is eighty-four years old.

Nancy Guthrie Was Worth Six Million Dollars to Somebody
Six million dollars in Bitcoin. That was the demand. Not from Nancy. Not for Nancy’s money.

Nancy Guthrie’s Caller Described Her Clothes and Pointed to a Grave in Cartel Territory
On Mother’s Day, an anonymous man called a volunteer search group in Sonora, Mexico, and said he knew where Nancy Guthrie is buried. He didn’t call the FBI. He didn’t call Pima County. He didn’t reach for the million-dollar-plus reward her family and federal agents have offered for information. He called Buscando Corazones Nogales — a volunteer collective that searches for the missing in some of
Nancy Guthrie’s Blood Was on Her Porch — Why Do People Think She Planned It?
Nancy Guthrie’s blood was found on her front porch. It was DNA-tested and confirmed as hers. Her pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch at 2:28 AM. A masked, armed man appeared on her doorbell camera in the dark. The case has been officially reclassified as a homicide. And somehow, a theory persists online that Nancy arranged the whole thing herself — that an 84-year-old woman in chronic
Nancy Guthrie: 32 Bodies Were Already Buried Where They Searched for Her
They searched for Nancy Guthrie in the Mariposa corridor near Nogales, Mexico. An anonymous caller said her remains were there, buried near a stream by the border.

Nancy Guthrie: A Blockchain Firm Says This Was a Crypto Hit
There’s a list. A global list of people who’ve been kidnapped, attacked, or killed because of cryptocurrency. Home invasions. Forced transfers at gunpoint.

Nancy Guthrie: Volunteers Are Still Searching for Her Body in Mexico
The search for Nancy Guthrie has crossed the border. A volunteer group in Nogales, Mexico, has now conducted two searches in the desert near Arizona after an anonymous caller claimed he knew exactly where Nancy was buried. They haven’t found her.

All These Theories, and Nancy Guthrie Still Isn’t Home
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February. Over a million dollars in reward money has gone unclaimed. And the three theories fighting loudest for attention all have the same problem: none of them can produce evidence that holds.The anonymous caller who contacted a Mexican volunteer group on Mother’s Day said Nancy was buried in the desert near the border. Fifteen people searched with shovels.
Nancy Guthrie’s Blood Was at the Scene — the Internet Says It Was Planted
While Nancy Guthrie’s family waits for answers, while the FBI analyzes evidence, while over a million dollars in reward money sits untouched, the internet has decided it knows what happened. And what it decided is that none of it was real.The staging theory says the masked man was placed on the porch. The blood was planted. The back door was propped open as set dressing. The doorbell footage was
Nancy Guthrie Opened Her Door to the Same People Every Week — Did One Betray Her?
Nancy Guthrie lived in the same Catalina Foothills home for decades. She was eighty-four, independent, sharp, and her world ran on a routine.

They knew the camera.The man on her porch that morning didn’t.That single moment — the instant the suspect encount

Nancy Guthrie's Been Missing Four Months — Why Did A Nearby Kidnapping Become Her Headline?
Four months without a named suspect creates a vacuum. This week it swallowed a headline that had nothing to do with Nancy Guthrie.The Pima County Sheriff's Department issued a BOLO for 40-year-old Coral Michelle Smith — wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a May 29th incident less than seven miles from where Nancy disappeared. Authorities stated explicitly there
Is the Kidnapping Suspect Near Nancy Guthrie the Break Her Family Has Been Waiting For?
For four months, Nancy Guthrie’s family has been waiting for the one headline that means something has changed.

Why Hasn't The FBI Identified The Masked Man On Nancy Guthrie's Doorbell Camera?
The FBI released the footage on February 10. A man in a ski mask, gloves, a jacket, and a holstered handgun walking up to Nancy Guthrie's front door. He was carrying a 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack — a backpack the FBI says is sold exclusively at Walmart. He saw the camera. He reached down, pulled weeds out of Nancy's own yard, and covered the lens. As of the bureau's last public statement, the

Could Nancy Guthrie Still Be Alive After All This Time?
Nancy Guthrie is somebody's mother. She's the mom of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, and she's an 84-year-old grandmother who was taken from her own home in Tucson in the middle of the night — and the hardest question for everyone who's been following her story is the one nobody can answer yet: is she still out there?Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski to
Why Did A Crypto Security Firm Put Nancy Guthrie On Its Wrench Attack List?

What Two Piles Of Evidence Could Finally Break The Nancy Guthrie Case?
Investigators are sitting on two massive evidence pools in the Nancy Guthrie case. Unknown DNA from an unidentified contributor recovered from inside her home. And thousands of hours of surveillance footage from cameras across Tucson. Either one could crack this. The question is which one gets there first — and whether the investigation can get out of its own way long enough to use them.The failu
Why Did Nancy Guthrie's Family Lose Direct Access To The Lead Investigator?
Nancy Guthrie's family has been cleared by law enforcement. They've offered a $1 million reward. They lost their matriarch — an 84-year-old woman allegedly taken from her own home with blood on the porch and a masked figure on camera. And now the sheriff who was supposed to be finding her has stopped talking to them directly.Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed he's no longer in direct communication wit
Is Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance Connected To A Violent New Crypto Crime Trend?
It's called a wrench attack — a global crime wave where criminal networks kidnap people or invade their homes to force access to cryptocurrency wallets. Seventy-two verified cases worldwide in 2025. Thirty-four more in just the first four months of 2026. Losses past a hundred million dollars. Fingers severed. Families restrained. And now, a blockchain security firm has placed Nancy Guthrie's name
Is Nancy Guthrie’s Kidnapper Watching the Investigation Close In?
Months have passed since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in Tucson. Her family has offered a million-dollar reward. The FBI is analyzing DNA at Quantico.

Was Nancy Guthrie The Target Of An Organized Crypto Hit?
For followers of this channel, the Wrench Attack theory in the Nancy Guthrie case is impossible to ignore. The term refers to organized crypto-extortion operations that target wealthy individuals, recruit disposable operatives, and demand cryptocurrency ransoms paid through traceless channels. Whether anything in Nancy's case actually fits that model — that's the question Tony Brueski takes to re
Why Does Sheriff Nanos Think Nancy Guthrie's Case Is Close?
Sheriff Chris Nanos keeps telling the public the Nancy Guthrie investigation is "getting closer." For followers of this channel, the question isn't whether to take him at his word.

Does Someone Already Have the Answer in the Nancy Guthrie Case and Not Know It?
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer raises a possibility nobody in this case has publicly confronted: investigators may already have the key piece of evidence and not yet recognize what it means. In a case flooded with false leads, internet theories, ransom noise, and media speculation, the signal can get buried under the volume. Three months into the Nancy Guthrie investigation, an 8
Nancy Guthrie's Case Points to Someone Who Knew the Neighborhood — Not a Professional
The person who allegedly took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home moved through a quiet residential neighborhood with a level of calm that doesn't match a stranger. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer says the behavioral evidence points to familiarity — someone who had likely been in that area before, possibly surveilled the home, and understood enough about the layout to target the su
Someone Allegedly Took Nancy Guthrie And Demanded Bitcoin They Never Collected
Ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency. Two deadlines that passed. No Bitcoin allegedly ever withdrawn. Three months after Nancy Guthrie, eighty-four years old, was reportedly taken from her bedroom in the Catalina Foothills, the alleged ransom demands look less like a real negotiation and more like an alleged diversion — and the investigation that was allegedly supposed to find her may have been

Nancy Guthrie’s Case Has a Staged Quality — And That Changes Who the Suspect Is
Something about the Nancy Guthrie case has always felt constructed. The camera covered with weeds. The concealment that projected professionalism. The ransom communications sent to media outlets rather than the family. Individually, each element tells a story. Together, they tell a different one: someone may have been building a narrative — not executing a plan.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer
Nancy Guthrie Deserved a Unified Investigation — She Got an Institutional Fight
Nancy Guthrie was 84. She had medical needs. She required medication. When she went missing from her Tucson home, the clock was already running against her. And what happened next inside the investigation may have made that clock run faster.The FBI director publicly criticized the handling of Nancy’s case — a step that signals institutional frustration far beyond normal interagency disagreements.
Whoever Took Nancy Guthrie Was Calm and Concealed — But Completely Unprepared
Nancy Guthrie’s case has been publicly framed as a mystery about who could have taken an 84-year-old woman from her own home. But the deeper question is what the offender’s own behavior reveals about their identity — and it reveals more than most people realize.The suspect allegedly arrived at Nancy’s Tucson home with enough preparation to conceal their identity and interfere with the doorbell ca

In the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the evidence collected in the first hours — the DNA from inside the home, the doorbell camera footage, the physical items left behind — is either going to solve this case or it isn't. The determining factor will be whether the people who handled that evidence from the very first moment were equipped for the responsibility. The Adam Walsh case is what happens wh
Beyond Nancy Guthrie Part 3 | Crystal Rogers: Her Father Was Killed for Searching
One of the central questions in the Nancy Guthrie investigation is whether Sheriff Nanos built his department around loyalty instead of competence — and whether that structure put the wrong people in positions of influence over a case they weren't qualified to handle.
