Nancy Guthrie's disappearance took a strange turn in early May when human bones were discovered in the Arizona desert about five miles from her home near Tucson, but experts have since confirmed the remains are at least hundreds of years old and unrelated to the 84-year-old missing woman. Tucson police said the bones, found on 7 May, triggered a fresh wave of speculation around the fate of Nancy, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, before forensic analysis ruled out any link to the ongoing investigation.
Nancy vanished after being dropped off at her home on the evening of 31 January, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. When she failed to arrive at church the following day, her family reported her missing. More than 100 days later, despite national media coverage, FBI involvement and a stream of alleged ransom notes sent to outlets including TMZ, authorities still have no confirmed sighting of Guthrie and have released doorbell footage of a suspected abductor at her front door.
