Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation

Hidden Killers Podcast 94 Episodes Jul 19, 2026

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.
