Three months after vanished from her bedroom in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson, the says the search remains active and ongoing. Investigators are still treating the 84-year-old woman as the subject of a suspected abduction and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Guthrie was driven home before 10 p.m. on Feb. 1, 2026, after dinner at the home of her daughter, , and her husband, . By the early hours of the next morning, the timeline had turned ominous: her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., home security software detected a person in front of one of her cameras at 2:12 a.m., and her pacemaker app disconnected from her phone at 2:28 a.m.

Authorities have recovered video showing a masked, armed suspect at Guthrie’s front door. The department, which is leading the investigation, says it continues to work closely with the FBI as investigators follow up on leads, review information, and pursue the facts surrounding the case. Officials have also asked the public to contact 88-CRIME or the FBI tip line at 1-800-225-5324 if they know anything about what happened.

Guthrie is the mother of Today co-host , and the case has drawn sustained attention because of both her age and the unusual trail left behind by the home’s security systems. Last month, after 11 weeks in the investigation, the FBI received a hair sample from the crime scene that had been sent to a Florida forensics lab, adding another piece of evidence to an inquiry that remains in motion.

The facts available so far point to a narrow window on Feb. 1, 2026, when Guthrie was last known to be safe and the systems around her home began failing one by one. With no public resolution yet and the suspect still not identified, the most important development is not a new theory but the department’s insistence that the case is still being actively worked and that a tip from the public could still change it.
