Authorities Seen Searching for Septic Tank at Home of Missing Nancy Guthrie
Investigators were seen removing the manhole cover from the septic tank behind NGuthrie‘s Arizona home more than a week after going missing.
Drone footage shown on Fox News on Sunday, February 8, showed authorities standing in Nancy’s backyard around 11:00 a.m. and using a pole to probe inside the tank. It is not clear what they were looking for or why they decided to investigate at this time.
As Us Weekly previously reported, Nancy, 84 – mother of Today show the anchor Savannah Guthrie – he was last seen on January 31 following a visit with his other daughter, Annie Guthrie. After they finished eating dinner together, Annie’s husband, Tomasso Cionihe allegedly drove Nancy to his home in Catalina Foothills where he dropped her off at about 9:48 p.m. She was reported missing the next day after missing church.
On February 2, the Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos you are only told Us “something strange happened” at his house that night and that they believe he was “taken” by someone after falling asleep.
“I’m told every day, sometimes multiple times, about different search and rescue operations. And it’s not often that we announce a massacre,” Nanos said at the time.

Although an alleged ransom letter was sent to several media outlets demanding $6 million in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return on Monday, February 9, it has not been confirmed whether the letter is legitimate.
On Saturday night, February 7, Nancy’s three children — CameronSavannah and Annie – posted a tearful Instagram video expressing their willingness to work with the suspected kidnappers or captors to bring their mother home.
“We received your message and we understand. We are asking you now to return our mother to us so that we can be happy with her,” Savannah said in the video while holding both of her siblings’ hands. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very important to us and we will pay.”
One of Nancy Guthrie’s neighbors is investigating the “strange” circumstances surrounding the disappearance of an 84-year-old man. “There were a lot of black vans with black windows,” Morgan Brown, who lives “a quarter of a mile up the road” from Nancy, told Us Weekly exclusively. “There were many police cars there […]
However, as of the time of this publication, there has been no major breakthrough in this case.
“Tracking continues in multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles identified,” reads a post X from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. “There are no press conferences scheduled. If there are significant developments in the matter, a press conference will be called.”
