Nancy Guthrie Update
The disappearance occurred in the Catalina Foothills community near Tucson, Arizona, and Guthrie was last seen on January 31. Her family reported her missing the next day, prompting the Pima County Sheriff’s Department to launch an investigation with assistance from the FBI. Despite weeks of searching, authorities have released limited information as they continue to review evidence and pursue potential leads.
Brian Entin’s Investigation
Reporter Brian Entin, who has been covering the case as part of an ongoing series of investigations, recently visited the community and spoke with several residents and workers who had contact with Guthrie before her disappearance.
Among them was a gardener who worked near Guthrie’s home and would occasionally see his grandmother while working in the area. The staff member described the last interaction he remembered with her.
“It has been about eight months since I last saw Mrs. Guthrie. It was early in the morning. The gardener revealed that they had a very brief conversation in which he said: ‘Hi, Mrs. Guthrie, how are you?’
When Entin asked Guthrie if she had been with anyone else, the gardener said he had never noticed anyone accompanying her.
“I’ve never done that.”
The worker described Guthrie as a kind and pleasant person, calling her a “really nice lady” and “lovely.”
Neighbors also shared observations of unusual activity in the area before Guthrie disappeared. Aldine Meister, a nearby resident who has lived in the area for several years, told Entin about a suspicious encounter she noticed a few weeks ago.
Mester noted that some changes were occurring in the area at that time.
“There was an abandoned house at the end of the street and someone had just moved in next to us,” she said.
She also recalled seeing a strange man about three weeks before Guthrie disappeared.
“Even though his hat was down low, I couldn’t see his face clearly. He was walking down the street and I saw him and I thought, ‘Oh, that guy doesn’t fit in.'”
Mester added that the man’s appearance and behavior seemed unusual for the area.
“He was a little hunched over and had no walking or hiking equipment. He was wearing street clothes,” she explained. “So I thought it was weird because it wasn’t normal.”
