OK I'll be the one to say it: No one is holding Nancy Guthrie for ransom.

If they were, her daughter’s $40 million net worth would have produced a seven-figure demand by now, and the woman would be home safe, case closed.

Instead, we’re fed a slow drip of non-facts, non-evidence, and carefully curated ambiguity designed to keep the spotlight locked in place.

I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night.

The sad, infuriating truth is that what we call “the news” has become a reality-control device.

Nancy Guthrie vanishes, and suddenly—poof:

No more ICE protests clogging the airwaves. 

No discussion of the SAVE Act.

No scrutiny of border numbers or cartel pipelines. 

No follow-up on the thousands of unaccompanied minors still missing from HHS custody. 

One carefully amplified disappearance, and the entire national conversation pivots on command.

The MEDIA MACHINE selects which crisis gets oxygen - and which ones suffocate in silence.

And we’re left watching the approved story while the real ones bleed out off-screen.

Just thought you should know.

One talking head mentioned last night that it might be the time to start asking about details of wills, trusts, and insurance policies.  I hope it hasn't devolved to this point, but nightly it seems more questions are added than answers.  So many things now aren't adding up.

Real good clip.  Also why did Guthrie call Sen. Kelly first?

Did I miss a post??  Who called Kelly??

Savannah Guthrie contacted him personally before the disappearance became public knowledge.

That makes no sense, especially since his party does not administer the FBI

He's not wrong.  I did notice Fox news yesterday getting back to "normal" for the most part.

Sadly the Guthrie case has become a search for her body now.

I think it kinda does make sense --- Samantha could have reached out to the powerful (in her opinion) Senior Senator from her mother's home state for preemptive help.

Most of us in such a situation would call 911,  not a U.S. Senator.

Elite FBI video unit that worked Kohberger case spotted at Nancy Guthrie's home

Video specialists brought height comparison diagrams and professional broadcast equipment to Nancy Guthrie's home, where investigators found blood

By Stepheny Price , Michael Ruiz Fox News
Published February 12, 2026 5:16pm EST | Updated February 12, 2026 5:18pm EST

TUCSON, Ariz. — FBI video forensics experts were seen bringing specialized equipment into the area of Nancy Guthrie’s home, where blood was previously discovered, as the search for the missing 84-year-old Arizona woman enters its 12th day.

Photos obtained by Fox News Digital show members of the FBI’s Video Forensic Analysis Unit arriving at Guthrie’s residence carrying multiple Pelican-style hard cases into a tent set up at the front door.

The team also assisted in the race to catch Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger, who is now serving life in prison.

Investigators were also carrying a forensic height board, which can be used to compare physical conditions at the site to surveillance video recovered by the FBI.

The FBI does not publicly release a case-by-case list of investigations handled by its forensic video specialists. But the bureau’s Forensic Audio, Video and Image Analysis Unit, part of the FBI Laboratory and Operational Technology Division, routinely provides technical support in some of the nation’s most high-profile cases.

According to FBI materials, the unit is responsible for enhancing and clarifying surveillance video, authenticating recordings and analyzing possible edits or tampering, extracting still images for investigative comparison, interpreting timestamps and metadata, restoring damaged or obsolete audio and video media and providing expert testimony in court.

Fox news just showed a ring camera from a home 5 miles away with 2 guys (I think) with backpacks around a house that same night.  Could be they were going house to house?

Eleven days before Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy disappeared, NBC co-workers and execs said Savannah was "in full panic mode" and "fighting to save her job."

While Savannah was on a leave of absence, the show's ratings shot up--12 percent more viewers compared to the previous year.

🚨 BREAKING: Democrat Pima County AZ Sheriff Chris Nanos is facing calls to RESIGN because he's STONEWALLING the FBI from key Nancy Guthrie evidence

This is insane.

"The FBI wanted to send DNA and a glove found inside the house to their lab at Quantico Virginia for testing. The sheriff here, the Pima County Sheriff, insisted instead on sending it to a private lab that is based in Florida!"

"Now obviously you would think that there is nowhere better in the country, never even in the world, than the FBI's lab in Quantico for that kind of testing."

"The Guthrie family hoping tonight that the infighting stops and finding Nancy Guthrie really gets underway here, because that is what the Guthrie family wants to hear. Not the people are fighting about who has jurisdiction, but what they're doing to find Nancy Guthrie."

Excerpt:

You know that infuriating moment when local law enforcement seems more interested in flexing control than solving a high-profile kidnapping? That’s the shocking development in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie. Thursday marked the 12th day of the investigation, with no major breakthroughs on identifying suspects or Nancy’s whereabouts. But the real bombshell came from federal law enforcement sources: Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is blocking the FBI from accessing key physical evidence, including a glove and DNA from the crime scene, forcing it to a private lab in Florida instead of the FBI’s Quantico lab. This is costing taxpayers $200,000 and delaying the FBI’s ability to assist. A federal official told Reuters it’s “impairing” the probe—insane.



I couldn’t believe how badly this “sheriff” screwed up this case. And, without knowing it for certain, I assumed that this fake sheriff was a democrat with TDS. It turns out I was right about that.

This politician with a badge it’s not a true law-enforcement, professional for so many reasons. And yes, he is a hard line Democrat who definitely has TDS.

I totally believe it, I said several times on the main thread this Sheriff was a highly corrupt Democrat with TDS.  This action proved it!  It's more important to him to screw the FBI than it is to rescue a kidnapped mother of a famous Anchorwoman, who also has TDS.  I'll bet she considers that more important too, even though it's her own mother!

These are truly sick people!

It's quite telling that not one member of her family has complained about this action of the Pima sheriff.  Not one.  It's as if they have no expectation or desire of finding this woman.

Good morning. It’s now 13 days since Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Tucson home.

We’ve now seen surveillance video of a masked man, described as about 5’9” to 5’10” of average build, and we’ve learned that police recovered DNA evidence from inside her home.

The DNA is undergoing testing.

No suspects have been publicly identified, but FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News earlier this week there are multiple persons of interest.

The reward for information cracking the case has doubled to $100K, and detectives are asking anyone who lives near Guthrie to check their home security footage for unusual activity between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2.

Anyone with information can call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

The Pima County Sheriff says "quite a number of gloves" were found in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. 

"We don't even know the true value of these gloves," Nanos told KVOA  Thursday night.

BREAKING: I just did a wide ranging interview with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos about a lot of topics.   Here are some highlights.

Nanos tells FOX that his office did NOT find a glove at Nancy’s home. “We have no glove.  We never found a glove on that property.” 

Nanos claims his office has been using the same contracted private lab for decades, long before he was in office.  He says his office started sending the Guthrie evidence to this lab from the start and that the GUTHRIE FAMILY DNA and OTHER DNA SWABS are there too — so it makes sense to keep sending the incoming evidence there so that the lab can immediately run the new evidence against what is already in house.  Nanos claims the FBI was on board with this. He says why split evidence between the private lab and Quantico.  “We trust the FBI’s crime lab, we’ve used them before, but in this case we started with that lab. It’s just that simple.”

Nanos claims he is working together WELL WITH THE FBI, claims he would have NO REASON not to seek their help and partnership. “Absolutely crazy,” that he wouldn’t use their partnerships.

Nanos claims he called the FBI the next working day, the Monday after Nancy went missing. He shoots down claims he was reluctant to include the FBI and says for example they quickly let the FBI take the lead on the ransom notes because the FBI is better at that with their technology. 

On the ransom notes and their legitimacy, he says the FBI is the expert on that. He can’t comment.

On whether this is a kidnapping or something else — he says “we believe it’s a kidnapping” but you “always consider all possibilities.” 

The sheriff said in a local news interview that they found a few different gloves in the area. Some miles away. On this topic, he told Fox that they are not necessarily prioritizing every glove — for example they’re getting calls of gloves in Phoenix a long ways away.  (So news of every glove that’s found may not be critical.)

“Nobody is ever really eliminated” when asked if anyone has been ruled out.

Nanos says the Rio Rico, AZ man who was briefly detained the other night is a delivery person who was “in the area” of Nancy’s house.  “More than one” issue lead Sheriff to the Rio Rico man.  After talking, the Sheriff feels satisfied with his alibi.   

Nanos will not confirm to FOX if there was forced entry at Nancy’s house or whether the front or back door was used.

Nanos says Nancy’s blood was found outside her home, and Nancy's DNA was recovered inside but he can’t confirm the DNA inside is blood.     

On the criticism that the Sheriff’s office released the Nancy Guthrie crime scene house too soon. Opened it up too quick.  Says “it’s not true.”  They got what they needed.  I asked him if they should have cleaned up the blood out of sanctity and he said it’s not their role. Said it’s a slap on his team to say they left too soon. Also says the DEPUTY CARS out front NOW are at request of the family — for safety — it’s not that the Sheriff signaling they left too soon.

On allegations that family members are involved. “The family has been fully, 100% completely, whatever we asked for they’ve done.”  “It was getting crazy out there with allegations about the family.”     "You can’t accuse people of a horrific crime like that and not have any facts behind it.’   (But in the same interview he does say no one is really ever ruled out. As of today.)

Nanos has talked to Savanah Guthrie.  He says they’ve talked and texted but she doesn’t need to talk to the Sheriff. She has people. “The whole family has my number.”

On reports and previous incidents that suggest Nanos doesn’t have a good relationship with the FBI: “You google what you google. You read what you read. I’ve got no response. I’ve always had a good relationship with the FBI. They’re a good team. They’re good people."

Savannah Guthrie saw her gig at the Today show slipping away.  She was out with medical issues, the ratings went up, and the show's crew was saying that the workplace atmosphere was much better without her.  Turns out she's a bit of a Diva!

Her contract is up for renewal....
