Will investigators find Nancy Guthrie's body by 7/15? Abductors claim her death was accidental.
69% of users predicted NO — the community got this one right. 67 predictions cast.
Investigators had not located Nancy Guthrie's body as of July 15, 2026. Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC "Today" co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. A first ransom note demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin for her release. A second note, sent days later to a Tucson television station, stated that Guthrie had died shortly after being taken and described her as "buried with nature," adding that her death had not been intended.
Investigators, including the Pima County Sheriff's Department, believed the two ransom notes came from the same source based on shared computer IP address indicators, though some other notes sent to media outlets during the case were determined to be unrelated extortion attempts. As of mid-July, the case remained an active, ongoing investigation, and Guthrie's remains had not been recovered.
The community majority (69% predicted her body would not be found by July 15) correctly anticipated that the search, hampered by the abductor's vague description of a burial location, would remain unresolved within the question's window.
