Women Say They Are ‘100% Certain’ Who Abducted Nancy Guthrie

A dramatic new development has emerged in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, as two women reportedly arrived at her Tucson home Friday claiming they are “100% certain” they know who abducted her.

According to investigative reporter Jonathan Lee Riches, who posted about the encounter on X, the women were visibly emotional and said they were heading directly to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department to share what they know.

“2 women just came to Nancy Guthrie’s house & said they are 100% certain who did this crime. They were crying. They are on their way to Pima County Sheriff’s Department,” Riches wrote.

The sheriff’s department declined to confirm the claim when contacted by Newsweek.

“This remains an active investigation and will continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted,” the department said.

“The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate. PCSD will maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood.”

Guthrie — the mother of Savannah Guthrie — was last seen Jan. 31 at her Tucson-area residence and was reported missing the following day. Authorities believe she was abducted or otherwise taken against her will.

Investigators have revealed troubling details. Drops of Guthrie’s blood were discovered on her front porch, and officials have voiced concern for her safety given that she requires daily medication.

Authorities believe she was taken between 1:47 a.m., when her doorbell camera was disconnected, and 2:28 a.m., when her pacemaker app stopped syncing with her iPhone.

Despite thousands of tips pouring in, no confirmed motive has been announced.

Meanwhile, officials clarified that a man arrested outside the home Thursday is not connected to the abduction.

Antonio De Jesus Pena-Campos, 34, was detained just before 8 p.m. local time and charged with misdemeanor DUI. Law enforcement stressed that his arrest is unrelated to Guthrie’s disappearance.

Surveillance footage from a neighbor’s Ring camera has added another layer of mystery. The video reportedly shows multiple vehicles traveling along a potential route away from the area in the early hours of Feb. 1.

The footage — recorded between midnight and 6 a.m. in a Catalina Foothills neighborhood roughly 2½ miles from Guthrie’s home — captured about a dozen vehicles. Some activity coincided with the time authorities say her pacemaker last synced with her phone.

Both the FBI and local investigators have been alerted to the footage, though officials have not indicated whether it is directly connected to the case.

Notably, homeowners in that neighborhood told Fox News Digital that investigators have not canvassed their area since Guthrie was reported missing — raising questions about whether critical leads may still be waiting to surface.

This week, Savannah Guthrie shared an emotional plea on Instagram.

“We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home—hope against hope, as my sister says: We are blowing on the embers of hope,” she said.

“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad, and with her beloved brother Pierce, and with our daddy. And if this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”

“For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million dollars for any information that leads us to her recovery.”

The FBI’s Phoenix field office confirmed on X that the family is offering a private $1 million reward for credible information leading to her return. The bureau is separately offering up to $100,000 for information leading to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved.

As investigators continue to pursue every lead, the claim from the two women who say they know exactly who is responsible could mark a turning point — if authorities determine their information is credible.

For now, the case remains active, urgent, and deeply personal for a family clinging to hope.
