FBI Releases Detailed Timeline of Nancy Guthrie’s February 1 Abduction from Tucson Home; $1 Million Reward Offered

In a major development in the high-profile abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the FBI has released a detailed timeline of the February 1, 2026, kidnapping from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, while the family and authorities renewed their $1 million reward offer for information leading to her safe return.

According to the FBI timeline, Nancy was last seen alive around 9:30 p.m. on January 31, 2026, inside her home. She failed to appear for a scheduled virtual church service the following morning, prompting family members to check on her. At approximately 8:45 a.m. on February 1, a masked man wearing dark clothing and gloves was captured on the home’s Ring doorbell camera tampering with the device before forcing entry through a side door. The intruder, described as approximately 5’10” to 6’0″ and carrying a handgun, spent roughly 12 minutes inside the residence before exiting with what appears to be a large bag or bundle. No signs of forced entry beyond the camera tampering were noted, and Nancy’s cell phone, purse, and vehicle remained at the property.

The timeline further reveals that Nancy’s home security system was disarmed using her own code, suggesting the perpetrator may have had prior knowledge or coerced her into providing it. Neighbors reported seeing no unusual vehicles, but one witness described a dark-colored SUV parked nearby earlier that morning. The FBI confirmed Nancy did not leave voluntarily and immediately classified the case as an abduction. No ransom demand has been received from the actual kidnappers, though mysterious notes sent to TMZ and the family have claimed knowledge of her whereabouts.

Savannah Guthrie, Nancy’s daughter and TODAY co-anchor, has been vocal about the torment of not knowing whether her mother was targeted because of her public profile. “We still don’t know if my mother Nancy was targeted,” she said emotionally on air. The Guthrie family, including Savannah and her siblings, has been officially cleared as suspects.

The $1 million reward—$900,000 from the family and $100,000 from the FBI—remains active, with tips directed to 1-800-CALL-FBI. Authorities continue to urge anyone with information, including potential sightings or vehicle details, to come forward.

As the investigation enters its fifth month, the newly released timeline provides the clearest picture yet of the chilling events of February 1, underscoring both the calculated nature of the crime and the urgent need for answers. The Guthrie family’s plea remains unchanged: bring Nancy home.
