Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie remains missing more than three weeks after she initially disappeared from her home.
She was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, on January 31. Ever since, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation have been on the case, though no suspects have been identified over three weeks into the investigation.
New Claim Arises on Social Media
While the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI haven’t been able to find Guthrie or her alleged kidnapper(s), several videos on social media started presenting a new claim that body of the 84-year-old had been found.
The news seems to have originated with a YouTube short from an account named @SeanPilant.
Multiple TikTok users went on to claim that the body of Nancy Guthrie has been found floating in a pond near the Catalina Foothills. Two videos, posted by TikTok users aaayyyllll2 and news.crime.tv2, each have over 80,000 views and are directly copied from the video initially posted to YouTube Shorts.

The videos claim the body was identified as Guthrie’s and further claimed to have found footprints near the water’s edge and suggested “signs of struggle and forceful movement.”
Both videos go on to claim that the decomposition of the body suggested it was under water for nearly a week and further investigation would be needed.
Was Nancy Guthrie’s Body Actually Found?
After seeing the viral claim, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told Newsweek, “That video is not accurate. It was not taken in our jurisdiction and the officers shown are not Pima county deputies.”
DNA Evidence Found, Suspect Still at Large
DNA from a pair of gloves found about 2 miles away from Guthrie’s home turned up no matches in the FBI’s national database last week. The gloves appeared to match those worn by the suspect seen in the video captured by Guthrie’s doorbell camera on the morning that she was reported missing.
In a statement last week the Pima County Sheriff’s Department revealed the Guthrie family has been cleared as suspects and “to suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel.”
