The ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, took a significant turn on February 6, after a neighbor’s observation led authorities to search the roof of the 84-year-old’s Tucson home.
While scaling the residence, law enforcement removed a wired device believed to be a camera and towed an SUV from the property as part of the expanding probe.
Highlights
- Neighbor Laura Gargano noticed a "suspiciously clean" roof in aerial news footage, leading to a targeted search for recent contractor activity or tampering.
- FBI agents recovered a wired camera from the roof.
- Authorities impounded a blue Subaru SUV from Nancy Guthrie's garage.
- While President Trump hinted at a "definitive" suspect, Sheriff Nanos confirmed the search remains a live abduction rescue.
The developments came as federal and county investigators confirmed they are actively chasing clues after reclassifying the case as an abduction investigation.

Nancy Guthrie’s neighbor’s roof rip sparked a new line of investigation in the ongoing investigation

The renewed search began after Guthrie’s neighbor, Laura Gargano, contacted authorities upon noticing something unusual in aerial footage of the home aired on television.
Gargano alleged that the roof appeared astoundingly clean compared to others in the neighborhood, especially given recent rainy weather.
“I did notice on an aerial shot that it looked like her roof had been recoated recently,” Gargano told CNN.

“When you recoat your roof, it gets dirty pretty quickly, and we’ve had a lot of rain the previous three weeks, so it would be normal for a roof to be a little dirty.”
She further noted that the contrast stood out because flat garage roofs in the area tend to collect dirt rapidly. Based on her suspicions, she suggested investigators look into whether contractors had been on the property shortly before Guthrie vanished.
“If you’re looking for surface people that visited, that’s just one thing to check,” she said. “It could be nothing, but I noticed it.”
FBI agents reportedly removed a wired device believed to be a camera

Within hours of the tip, FBI agents were filmed climbing onto the roof and carefully removing what was believed to be a wired camera.
Retired NYPD Inspector Paul Maura noted that the device could prove important if it captured movement around the home during the critical overnight window.
“Apparently, on that roof, the agents recovered a new camera, a camera that they hadn’t been aware of,” Mauro told Fox News.

“I don’t know more than that as to why it hadn’t been recovered or what it might see.”
Mauro further noted that wildlife or security cameras are common in the area and may have recorded human movement that was previously overlooked in the early days of the investigation.
As reported by Bored Panda, Guthrie was last seen on Saturday, January 31, around 9:45 p.m. after one of her children dropped her off at her home. She was reported missing the next day when she failed to show up for a church service.
Authorities also towed an SUV from the property as part of evidence collection
At the same time, agents were searching the roof, more than 10 police vehicles converged on the Catalina Foothills residence.
A blue Subaru SUV, believed to belong to Guthrie, was removed from the garage and escorted to an impound lot near the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, according to Fox News.
Though authorities have not yet disclosed why the vehicle was seized or whether it is directly linked to Guthrie’s suspected kidnapping, investigators have confirmed that every physical lead is being examined.

Friday’s developments unfolded alongside confirmation that law enforcement is analyzing a new message sent to a local Arizona news outlet.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department said they are “actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity”.
KOLD 13 News also reported that the message appeared similar in style to earlier communications sent to media outlets.

However, officials cautioned that no determination has been made regarding whether the messages are legitimate or connected to Nancy’s disappearance.
Separately, police also rushed to a Circle K store in Tucson after receiving a tip about a “vehicle of interest”.
Security footage was obtained, but investigators have not confirmed whether the conveyance is tied to the case or remains relevant.
Donald Trump also alleged that authorities are “very close” as officials maintain Nancy Guthrie is alive

As the investigation intensified, President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that federal authorities were making meaningful progress.
“We have very strong clues,” Trump said. When asked whether a suspect had been identified, he added, “Yeah. Could be definitive.”

Despite the lack of publicly named suspects, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos remained firm in his belief that Nancy is alive.
“What I believe is that Nancy was removed from her home against her will, and that we need to find her,” Nanos told reporters Friday night.
“She’s still alive. I believe that until physical evidence shows me otherwise.”
However, concerns remain high as Nancy is believed to be without her essential medication.

To divert attention from the Epstein files and undeniable proof coming out that he and his gang of rich pedophiles diddled little girls and thought their crimes were buried and would never see the light of day. But now we know what they did, and they know we are going to make them PAY dearly for it, and they’re all scared shitless of paying consequences for taking active part in their dirty little pedophile club’s activities. Fat Donald most of all, since he and Jeffrey were such close BFFs for so many decades. Does that answer your question?

Honestly it's just heartless to focus on Trump. She is a mother that has terrified children praying she isn't hurt and will make it home. I can't imagine how that family feels right now. I pray for them

Okay, so does this seem a little weird to anyone? Why would a clean new roof, after a rainstorm, seem suspicious? It's white, and the rain is clear water. This neighbor should be checked out. It wouldn't be the first time the helpful neighbor(s) were involved in the crime, just saying.
