In a recent development surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, a family insider has spoken out, challenging the accuracy of the narrative that has been broadly disseminated by the media. Nancy Guthrie, mother to "Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Sunday, February 1st. Contrary to initial reports that she failed to appear at a church service in Tucson, the family source has stated that these reports were incorrect.
According to the insider, Nancy Guthrie had not planned to attend any in-person church service on the day of her disappearance. For several years, tracing back to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nancy had established a tradition with a close group of friends, meeting at each other's homes on a rotating basis to watch a livestream of a New York church service. This congregation is notably the same one frequented by her daughter Savannah when in New York.
On the Sunday in question, Nancy was expected to join this group at one of their homes for their customary livestream session. Concerns were raised when she failed to make an appearance, prompting a friend to contact Annie, Nancy's other daughter, to express their worry. The group's alarm was amplified by their inability to reach Nancy.
The erroneous belief that Nancy missed a Tucson church service has reportedly led to a significant misunderstanding of the actual timeline and circumstances leading up to her disappearance. Fox News reported this correction, which was further echoed by social media posts, including a tweet from @natalie_1788 on February 7th, highlighting the discrepancy and suggesting that the Sheriff's Department or the family may have initially provided inaccurate information for the reasons they first checked on Nancy.
Additional information emerged over the weekend from a neighbor who recalled seeing an unmarked white van parked on the street days before Nancy went missing. The neighbor, McIntire, described the van as full-sized and without any distinguishable markings, a deviation from typical work or service vehicles. After Nancy's disappearance, he reported this observation to the police, noting that the van had been lingering in the area.
The neighbor expressed that this incident had left him feeling unsettled, prompting him to carry a pen and paper during his walks to note anything suspicious. His wife, equally disturbed by Nancy's disappearance, shared their heightened sense of vulnerability despite having heavy metal doors on their home and the couple now considering the installation of security cameras.
As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department conducted an extensive search of her property on Sunday. The investigation included examining a septic tank through a backyard manhole cover as part of the ongoing efforts to locate her, as reported by Resist the Mainstream.
