Overview
- Investigators believe 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Catalina Foothills home and was reported missing on February 1, 2026.
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are actively reviewing thousands of videos and have sent unidentified DNA samples to the FBI lab in Quantico for testing.
- Former FBI agent Frank Storey said the case could be solved if a participant later cooperates and expressed his personal view that Guthrie may be dead; his comments are opinion and not an official finding.
- Fraudulent communications have complicated the investigation and Derrick Callella pleaded guilty for sending false ransom notes, receiving probation on August 31, 2026.
- Skeletal remains found in mid‑August about 15 miles from Guthrie’s home have not been linked to her, and investigators say they are continuing forensic work and following public tips as the next developments to watch.
