Summary
Timestamp to skip the intro: (7:45)
On January 31, 2026, Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie (84) went to dinner with some family members. They reportedly dropped her back to her home in Tucson at around 9.50pm.
At 1.47am on February 1, Nancy’s doorbell camera was disconnected. At 2.28am, Nancy’s pacemaker stopped connecting to her phone and Apple watch.
Nancy’s family were alerted in the morning on February 1 when she did not attend a church service as planned. They went to her home and found no trace of her, so 911 was called.
Nancy’s disappearance has made international headlines as her daughter is ‘Today’ show host, Savannah Guthrie. Savannah and her siblings have made repeated public appeals to the abductors of their mother. Ransom notes have reportedly been received by media outlets.

| 1:17.1 | Thank you. What's up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society podcast with Stephanie and Olivia. It is February 8th right now, 524. The time stamp for this one is actually important because I feel like there could be updates any minute with at any time. I've told everyone I know, well, to start, we're talking about Nancy Guthrie today, which I think everyone is following. People have been asking us when we're going to do an episode on it, and we've been trying to gather all the info. But as I was just saying, I think an update could happen at any moment all the time. I'm always looking at my phone. I don't want to miss anything. I've told all my family members to be on standby that as soon as they see an update, make sure I know because, you know, for any new people joining us, I do have a small baby that I take care of during the day, my baby, not some baby, my baby that I'm taking care of. |
| 1:22.5 | So my fear is like, I'm going to miss some huge update because like I'm changing a diaper or something. |
| 1:27.1 | I'm like, you make sure I know every single update because I cannot miss it or else will be ruined. Everyone |
| 1:33.0 | will be like TCS didn't post it promptly. We can't even trust them. So like I don't know, everything in |
| 1:39.3 | this case seems to happen in the evening. Someone made like a comment about this person, whoever's |
| 1:43.7 | involved must have a |
| 1:44.3 | nine to five because it all happens up to five. But like all day will be quiet. And so now we are kind of at like, I think it must be like 3.30 in Arizona or something. Let me just double check. Yeah, it's 5.30 here. Oh, is it? Yeah. So it's nearly 3.30 p.m. in Arizona. So I'm like, well, everything's going to kick off soon. |
| 1:59.9 | Because some days we're like, oh, it seems pretty quiet in this case today. |
| 2:02.3 | And then all of a sudden there's a flurry of stuff that happens at night. So, yeah. Yesterday I literally said, quiet day so far. Yeah. And then all a sudden there's another video. There's things going on. And I'm kind of grateful that it doesn't, it happens either, like when we're both awake, because, like I said, during the day, sometimes it gets a little crazy for me, but it's, it is weird how it always seems to happen in the evening. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Like, and we are, so we are, obviously you mentioned we're going to speak about Nancy Guthrie, so we're now at day eight in the investigation, which I didn't think it would go for this long. |
| 2:36.6 | Like I thought it would be done and dusted in a few days. There would surely be a resolution, but there hasn't been maybe, I don't know, hopefully by the time. Or maybe I don't say hopefully. At this stage of recording, there hasn't been a resolution. we'll have to wait and see what happens, you know, as we get this episode edited and out. |
| 2:51.5 | But it just seems to be ongoing and, I don't know, hopefully the police |
| 2:57.6 | are holding things back because it doesn't, like, it kind of does remind me a little bit of the Idaho |
| 3:01.6 | case because we thought they had nothing and they had a lot. So hopefully, fingers crossed, |
| 3:05.7 | it's the same. Yeah. So we're not going to be doing like any real chat today because we figure there's going to be people who don't normally listen to our episodes, probably tuning in who like really don't give a fuck about what we're doing or the weather. But the weather is really crazy in New York. It is so cold. It was a wind chill of negative 20, but that's all I'll say. So we're also going to try to get this episode. |
| 3:27.2 | Well, we are going all I'll say. |
| 3:28.7 | So we're also going to try to get this episode. Well, we are going to get this episode out early. I'm pushing myself to edit it right after we record so I could get it out on Patreon, |
| 3:33.7 | give them their head start that they deserve and earned, and then we will put the episode |
| 3:38.1 | out the following day meantime. |
