Guthrie case investigators question neighbors about any internet issues on the night she disappeared
Investigators in Guthrie Case Probe Neighbors for Possible Internet Clues
Following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, law enforcement agencies have sought input from residents in her Tucson neighborhood, focusing on potential disruptions to internet connectivity on the night she vanished. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI conducted door-to-door interviews in the Catalina Foothills on Thursday, querying homeowners about their network experiences. Multiple residents reported that agents specifically inquired about internet issues during that timeframe, noting that several neighbors had mentioned technical glitches. However, details about the significance of these disturbances remain unclear.
Neighbors Report Anomalous Camera Glitch
One couple residing near Guthrie’s home shared with NBC News that their Ring camera displayed a “not available” error during the critical hours of her abduction. They own four cameras, but the one closest to her residence malfunctioned, while the others functioned normally. The couple emphasized that this error was unexpected and described the timing as “uncanny.” They added, “That’s really weird, isn’t it?” While NBC News has contacted Ring for clarification, neither the FBI nor the sheriff’s department has commented on the incident or its relevance to the case.
Case Remains Unresolved After Over a Month
Over a month has passed since Nancy Guthrie last appeared, and authorities have not yet identified suspects or persons of interest. The 84-year-old mother of TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie was seen at 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 31 after dinner with her daughter Annie. She was reported missing Feb. 1 when she failed to show up for a church service livestream. Officials describe the case as a potential kidnapping, though specifics remain elusive. Earlier this week, when asked about a Wi-Fi jammer, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated, “I’ve not looked at that closely, but yeah, I know that my team has examined it with the FBI from every angle.”
On Feb. 24, the Guthrie family announced a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery, joining efforts by the FBI and Crime Stoppers. Savannah Guthrie, currently in Arizona with her family, visited the TODAY show studio in New York City and expressed plans to return to her role, though she remains prioritizing support for her family and the search for her mother. Liz Kreutz and Rebecca Cohen of NBC News provided additional coverage of the ongoing investigation.
