Unraveling the Mystery: Online Searches for Nancy Guthrie’s Address and Daughter’s Salary Before Her Disappearance

In a chilling development, data from Google Trends suggests that someone may have searched online for Nancy Guthrie’s home address in the weeks leading up to her alleged abduction. Nancy, the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for 18 days following a suspected kidnapping from her Tucson, Arizona residence.

Authorities have intensified their efforts to locate the 84-year-old since her disappearance on February 1. In a bid to generate leads, the FBI recently released a description of a potential suspect captured by Nancy’s doorbell camera. The footage shows a male, standing between 5 feet, 9 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall, wearing a 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack along with other distinctive items.

On February 10, 2026, a scene of urgency unfolded as law enforcement personnel and media crews converged outside Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson. The gathering underscored the ongoing and determined efforts by investigators to solve the mystery surrounding the mother of the prominent journalist.

In pursuit of answers, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, alongside the FBI, remains committed to the investigation. Fox News Digital has replicated Google Trends data, which appears to show that searches for both Nancy’s address and Savannah’s salary were conducted prior to the unsettling event.

As the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI continue work on the case, Fox News Digital was able to recreate Google Trends reports that appear to show searches for Nancy’s address and Savannah’s salary occurred before her disappearance.

They show there may have been activity for Guthrie’s address in the Catalina Foothills between June 21 and 28, 2025, originating in Arizona. The address may have seen activity again on Jan. 11, 2026. 

The Jan. 11 date also surfaced in a message on the Ring camera app posted on Feb. 12, asking neighbors to share video from between 9 p.m. and midnight that day, as well as on the evening of Jan. 31, when Guthrie was last accounted for. 

A PCSD captain replied to the post asking users to look for verified posts from the department when submitting tips. Officially, investigators are seeking home security video recorded within two miles of Guthrie’s home between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2.

“The Ring post… did not come from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. It was posted by a neighbor,” a sheriff’s spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “PCSD sent out a request via the Neighbors app asking for video from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2.”

No suspects have been publicly identified, but investigators have detained several people and released them without charges, including a delivery driver from Rio Rico who told Fox News he worked in Tucson but didn’t know if he’d delivered a package to the missing woman’s home. 

There also may have been separate Google image searches for Nancy’s address in Arizona sometime between March 1 and 8, 2025, and Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2025, specifically looking for images or a map of the home. 

In addition to the address, in the days leading up to Nancy’s disappearance, “Savannah Guthrie salary” may have been searched from Tucson sometime between Dec. 13 and 20, 2025.

For comparison, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who grew up in New York City, may have generated searches for “Anderson Cooper salary” in the NYC area between March 29 and April 5, 2025. Fox News’ Sean Hannity also grew up in New York, and “Sean Hannity salary” may have also been searched between May 3 and 10, 2025. 

“Google Trends is designed for understanding trends in large datasets. For topics with low or no searches, a Google Trends chart will often mix in random noise to protect people’s privacy. That means that a Google Trends chart showing a spike for an uncommon topic is not definitive evidence that a search actually happened,” a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

A source familiar also told Fox News Digital that law enforcement would use investigative tools like subpoenas, not publicly available marketing information.
