Law enforcement intensity reached a fever pitch late Friday night as the search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, shifted to a high-stakes tactical operation.

The operation unfolded in two coordinated strikes that suggest a significant shift in the investigation:
- The SWAT Raid: Armed teams entered a local residence and detained three individuals. Sources indicate the group includes two men and an older woman.
- The Traffic Stop: Minutes after the raid began, police intercepted a gray Range Rover at a nearby Culver’s. The driver was detained, and the vehicle—a key piece of evidence—was towed for forensic processing.
- The DNA Catalyst: These raids follow the critical discovery of unidentified DNA found inside Nancy Guthrie’s home earlier this week, which reportedly gave investigators the “missing link” needed to obtain the warrants.
A Race Against Time
Nancy has been missing since February 1, and the urgency of the search is fueled by her critical medical needs. She requires daily medication for heart and blood pressure conditions, which she has now been without for two weeks.
Current Evidence Profile:
- The Suspect: FBI footage shows a masked individual at her door carrying a specific 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack.
- The Reward: A $100,000 reward remains active for information leading to her safe return.
- Investigation Status: While the individuals detained are being questioned, authorities have not yet filed formal charges or confirmed if Nancy has been located.
Summary of the Situation
The neighborhood remains cordoned off as forensic teams sift through the target residence. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is currently withholding further details to avoid compromising the ongoing FBI joint investigation.
