Women Say They Are ‘100% Certain’ Who Abducted Nancy Guthrie

Two women went to Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home Friday and told officials they are “100% certain” they know who abducted the missing 84-year-old, according to investigative reporter Jonathan Lee Riches, who posted on his X account that the women were crying and said they were heading to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Newsweek reported.

“2 women just came to Nancy Guthrie’s house & said they are 100% certain who did this crime. They were crying. They are on their way to Pima County Sheriff’s Department,” Riches wrote.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not confirm the claim when contacted by Newsweek.

“This remains an active investigation and will continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted,” the department said.

“The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate. PCSD will maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood.”

Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen Jan. 31 at her Tucson-area home and was reported missing the following day.

Investigators believe she was abducted or otherwise taken against her will. Authorities have said drops of her blood were found on the front porch. Officials have expressed concern about her health because she requires daily medication.

Investigators believe she was taken sometime between 1:47 a.m., when her doorbell camera was disconnected, and 2:28 a.m., when her pacemaker app stopped syncing with her iPhone.

There is no confirmed motive. Authorities have said they are reviewing thousands of tips.

The sheriff’s department confirmed additional details about a man arrested outside the home Thursday.

Antonio De Jesus Pena-Campos, 34, was detained just before 8 p.m. local time and charged with misdemeanor DUI. Officials said his arrest is unrelated to the abduction investigation.

Surveillance video from a neighbor’s Ring camera shows multiple vehicles traveling along a possible route away from the area early Feb. 1.

 

The footage, recorded between midnight and 6 a.m., captured about a dozen vehicles in a Catalina Foothills neighborhood roughly 2½ miles from Guthrie’s residence.

Some of the vehicle activity occurred around the time authorities said her pacemaker last synced with her phone.

The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been alerted to the video.

Authorities have not said whether the footage is relevant.

The homeowners told Fox News Digital that investigators have not canvassed their neighborhood since Guthrie was reported missing.

Savannah Guthrie posted an emotional video on Instagram this week.

“We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home—hope against hope, as my sister says: We are blowing on the embers of hope,” she said.

“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad, and with her beloved brother Pierce, and with our daddy. And if this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”

“For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million dollars for any information that leads us to her recovery.”

The FBI’s Phoenix field office confirmed on X that the family is offering a private $1 million reward for credible information leading to her return.

The FBI is separately offering up to $100,000 for information leading to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved.
