Why Did The Sheriff Stop Talking To Nancy Guthrie's Family?

Why Did The Sheriff Stop Talking To Nancy Guthrie's Family?

Author: Hidden Killers Podcast June 3, 2026 Duration: 20:30

In mid-May, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed in a People magazine interview that his department is no longer communicating directly with Nancy Guthrie's family. The FBI is now the sole liaison between the investigation and the Guthries. The same sheriff who stood at his podium in February and told the family he wasn't giving up is, three months later, not in direct contact with them at all.

This Hidden Killers Live episode walks through every chapter of the Nancy Guthrie case, from the night the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie disappeared from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson all the way to where the investigation stands now.

The 41-minute window. The pacemaker app disconnecting at 2:28 in the morning. The blood on her own front porch. The doorbell footage of the masked man and the clump of weeds covering the camera lens. The discarded gloves found two miles away. The Arizona Republic report on the sheriff's resume. The recall campaign that followed. The unanimous Board of Supervisors vote compelling testimony under oath. FBI Director Kash Patel's comments on Sean Hannity's podcast — and Nanos's public dispute of how the relationship between the agencies was characterized. The Hostage Rescue Team deployment. The federal command post moving to Phoenix. The $1 million reward. The 30,000-plus tips. The 100-day mark passing in near-silence.

The full timeline, beginning to now, in one piece. Every event. Every disputed fact. Every question still open. So you can decide for yourself where this case actually stands four months in.
