Over 100 days in, and nobody has been arrested in the case of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, 2026. The investigation has since grown into one of the most high-profile missing persons cases the United States has seen in years. Now Khloe Kardashian has entered the conversation, using her podcast to do what a lot of people watching from the sidelines are already thinking out loud. The case has no clean answers, and she’s not buying the silence.
On a recent episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, she spoke with Ashley Flowers, host of the Crime Junkie podcast, to discuss the case, as she expressed skepticism about the absence of leads more than 100 days after Guthrie was first reported missing. Talking about that she stated,
“Nancy Guthrie, I mean, is that not heartbreaking? I don’t know. I’m just like, this is 2026. There is nothing? That is mind-blowing. I can’t understand that in 2026, there’s not like you said, that’s what I don’t believe, that there’s not one piece of information. They’re not telling us.”
Flowers, who has spent years covering true crime for a massive audiencespoke about how withholding information is standard practice in law enforcement, and spoke about the experience of families of missing persons who have to keep living their lives while not knowing whether a loved one is missing or has been killed.
Kardashian called that kind of grief the “strangest feeling” imaginable. She also raised eyebrows by referencing the bizarre ransom notes that surfaced early in the case and questioned how strange it was that ransom notes were reportedly sent to multiple media outlets, and also brought up speculation around Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni, though authorities have already cleared the entire Guthrie family of any involvement.
More details about the Nancy Guthrie case
Nancy Guthrie’s family noticed she was gone when she failed to show up for virtual church services on the morning of February 1. Deputies who responded to her home found her phone and other personal belongings still inside.
Surveillance footage released by the FBI showed a person wearing long sleeves, a backpack, and a ski mask approaching Guthrie’s front door, nlocking the door camera. Bloodstains were found near the entrance of the house, which belongs to Guthrie.
A ransom note obtained by one local affiliate demanded $6 million and threatened Guthrie’s life if a deadline wasn’t met. A second note also surfaced, and both deadlines came and went with no further contact from whoever sent them. The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to Guthrie’s return, while the Guthrie family separately put up $1 million for her safe return.
