Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation

She finally talked. And for everyone who has been following Nancy's case from day one — who has shared the posts, made the calls, placed the flowers, held onto hope — what Savannah said this week matters deeply. The suspect came to Nancy's door twice. Two separate nights, before the night she disappeared. Her brother, a former military fighter pilot, knew within minutes of being told that his moth...

Two hundred and forty-one deputies. Not one voted to keep him. Every ballot cast said the same thing: we don't trust the man running the search for Nancy Guthrie. The Board of Supervisors responded unanimously — invoking a state statute, demanding sworn statements, threatening removal. Supervisor Heinz called the 42-year career "fruit of a poison tree." And then Nanos said he'll comply. Which, und...

The man who has been standing at the podium telling the public what investigators know about Nancy Guthrie — controlling what gets said, what gets shared with the FBI, what the public is allowed to understand about the search for an 84-year-old woman who requires daily medication and has been missing for weeks — just had 300 of his own deputies pass a unanimous no-confidence vote and call for his...

She is 84 years old. She requires daily medication. She has been gone for weeks. And the man who has been standing at the podium — controlling what investigators share with the public and the FBI about what happened to Nancy Guthrie — has been exposed for allegedly misstating his own law enforcement history in a sworn deposition. This week on Hidden Killers, we are asking the questions that the pe...

The sheriff running Nancy Guthrie's disappearance case just watched his own deputies vote 241-0 to demand his resignation. Not one person in his department voted to continue under his leadership. Zero. That same week, the Pima County Board of Supervisors invoked a little-known state law to require Sheriff Chris Nanos to testify under oath — with removal from office on the line if he refuses. Super...

It keeps coming in, worded different ways by different people, but always landing in the same place. Is she still the priority? Not in the press conference sense. Not in the "we haven't given up" sense. Really — with the man in charge of this investigation fighting for his professional life, with deputies voting against him, with supervisors drafting compliance orders and recall signatures being g...

You've been following this case since it broke. You've watched the press conferences, tracked the updates, shared the tip line, and held on to hope for Nancy Guthrie — not as a headline, but as a person. An 84-year-old woman taken from her home in the night. A family living through something none of us can fully imagine. And now this. The man in charge of finding her is fighting for his own surviv...

Nancy Guthrie's family hasn't stopped. Seven weeks in, they've stopped waiting for the investigation to reach people and started doing it themselves — going directly to the Tucson community, asking neighbors and residents to reach back into their memories and think carefully about what they saw in the days and weeks before Nancy disappeared. Robin Dreeke and I went through the questions this commu...

Forty-seven days since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in Tucson. No arrest. No named suspect. No press conference. And the man running this investigation just had his record exposed in a way that demands a full accounting. In December 2025 — six weeks before Nancy disappeared — Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos sat in a sworn deposition and told an attorney he had never been suspended in his...

Forty-seven days. Nancy is still gone. Her family is still waiting. And this week, the man who has stood at those podiums and spoken to cameras about what's being done to find her — was caught lying under oath about who he actually is. Records show the sheriff leading this investigation was pushed out of his previous law enforcement job — not resigned — with a disciplinary file that reportedly inc...

Forty days. No arrest. No named suspect. No viable DNA. And a desert that doesn't give things back. This week in Hidden Killers' Week in Review, the Nancy Guthrie investigation gets the complete accounting her family and the community following this case deserve — not the press conference version, but the evidence record and what it actually means. Tony Brueski walks through where the investigatio...

You've been following this case from the beginning. You know about the doorbell footage, the glove that led nowhere, the ransom notes, the million-dollar reward. And you've noticed the same thing we have — the press conferences stopped, the updates got thinner, and this week's news about additional camera footage showing nothing is the kind of update that feels more like a wall than a door. This l...

Forty-one days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson. Her family is still waiting. Her community is still watching. And this morning, Sheriff Nanos went on national television and said investigators believe they know why her home was targeted — while simultaneously telling the public they cannot assume they are safe. Those two statements together say something. And this episode i...

Multiple FBI experts—James Gagliano, Michael Harrigan, and others—have publicly called the suspect's behavior in the Nancy Guthrie case "amateurish." The person didn't appear to know there was a doorbell camera. They grabbed weeds from the yard to cover it on the spot. They carried a weapon in what's been described as an unprofessional manner. This Hidden Killers Week In Review brings together exp...

A million-dollar reward. A DNA mixture at the scene. A pacemaker that last synced at 2:28 in the morning. And still—no Nancy Guthrie. The questions surrounding this disappearance keep getting harder to sit with, and the answers from official channels keep coming up short. This Hidden Killers Week In Review goes deeper with former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke and host Tony Brueski tackling w...

A month into the search for Nancy Guthrie. No arrest. No named suspect. No person of interest. But the investigation is shifting—and innocent people are paying a devastating price. This Hidden Killers Week In Review brings together critical analysis from two experts tracking every development. The FBI has moved its command center from Tucson to Phoenix. The massive multi-agency task force has scal...

Day 40. The cadaver dogs went home. The DNA dead-ended twice. And the desert keeps its secrets. This is the honest assessment nobody in national media wants to deliver — and the one the evidence has been building toward for forty days. The Nancy Guthrie investigation has hit a structural wall. No named suspect. No usable DNA profile. No identified clothing on the masked figure from the doorbell fo...

More than a month. That's how long Nancy Guthrie has been missing. And the questions don't get smaller with time — they get heavier. This listener Q&A is dedicated to Nancy, to the facts of her case, and to the details that the people who love her deserve to have examined honestly and without spin. Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke and host Tony Brueski take on the questions her commu...

Nancy Guthrie is 84 years old. She uses a walker. She needs medication every day. She has been gone for more than a month. And the people who care about her most deserve real answers — not press conference soundbites. This listener Q&A is dedicated entirely to Nancy and the questions her community has been demanding: what happened, what the evidence actually tells us, and what it's going to ta...

He survived the biggest missing persons response in recent Arizona history. He has watched the press conferences. He saw the reward announcement. He knows there is a million dollars on the table, and he knows his image has been seen across the country. He is not doing nothing. This episode is about the part of the investigation that doesn't get a press conference: what a perpetrator does behaviora...

This channel exists because Nancy Guthrie matters. And right now, at 33 days in, the people who love her deserve more than press conference language. They deserve someone who can explain what's actually happening inside this investigation. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer doesn't guess. She's worked cases like this from inside the Bureau. She knows what a command center relocation m...

The cable news consensus has been clear: the Nancy Guthrie suspect is sloppy, amateurish, incompetent. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke has a different read. After 21 years with the Bureau—including running the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—he says what we're seeing on that doorbell footage isn't unusual. It's average. The Walmart backpack. The awkward holster placement. The...

Fifty thousand tips. His face on every major network. Four weeks of national attention. And not one person can identify the man captured on Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera. That's the question that haunts this investigation. How is it possible that someone who has presumably lived a life—had jobs, neighbors, acquaintances, family—remains completely anonymous despite the most widespread suspect pho...

The search for Nancy Guthrie has now stretched past four weeks with no suspects and no arrests—and the people raising the loudest concerns are members of the Pima County Sheriff's own department. Former Chief Deputy Richard Kastigar, a 46-year veteran who served as Sheriff Chris Nanos's second-in-command, publicly states that Nanos has "great disdain" for the FBI and remains angry over an investig...

The search for Nancy Guthrie has produced no arrest, no named suspect, and no person of interest. But it's produced plenty of victims who had nothing to do with her kidnapping. A man was handcuffed, detained, and questioned for hours after SWAT served warrants on his home. Released. His attorney says he has "no link whatsoever" to the case. A schoolteacher has been harassed at his home by amateur...
