Drone Footage Shows FBI Scouring Nancy Guthrie's Home In Chilling Search For Clues
Authorities ramp up efforts in the high-profile disappearance case with new evidence and public appeals.

Law enforcement activity in the high‑profile disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, has continued to evolve as investigators scour her Arizona residence for fresh evidence.
On February 25, drone footage captured a heavy presence of federal agents and detectives at the 84‑year‑old's Tucson property, raising questions about new lines of inquiry nearly four weeks into the investigation.
Renewed Search At The Tucson Home
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pima County Sheriff's Department investigators had been looking into several areas of the Guthrie residence, including the front door, the lawn, and the swimming pool area, as seen in drone images taken above the Guthrie residence in the Catalina Foothills area. Authorities were also spotted going in and out of the house during the hours-long activity.
Videos were taken of the deputies of the sheriff inspecting the front area where a masked individual was caught on surveillance camera the night Nancy disappeared. Off-camera, police, as well, were also pictured going around with backpacks and what seemed to be investigative gear, pointing to a systematic effort to reveal evidence that would advance the case.
Intensifying Search With Drones And On‑Foot Teams
The renewed interest in the home was preceded by a recent surge in public attention to the case and tips to the police following a personal video appeal by Savannah Guthrie and a reward of one million dollars to those who can provide information leading to the location of her mother.
During the days after the appeal, the FBI declared that it had obtained over 1,500 tips, out of an excess of 20,000 leads provided since the investigation had been launched.
Drone videos and aerial imagery have proved crucial in capturing the changing scene around the property, offering a broader perspective as teams go about the house and yard.
Some investigators in plainclothes were seen alongside uniformed agents, blurring the lines between tactical search and evidence documentation.
Search Challenges And New Scrutiny
As the search continues, officers have received criticism regarding the handling and pace of the investigation. Some experts have criticised communication from the sheriff's office, and volunteer groups such as the United Cajun Navy have offered their support, only to be told they must coordinate through official channels.
Recently, evidence, such as blood traces on the porch of Nancy's house, has also been investigated by federal and local agents, who have worked with neighbouring jurisdictions to expand the search radius, including reviewing border camera footage in an effort to rule out the possibility of cross-border movement.
What Investigators Are Looking For
Officials have consistently stated that the focus remains on collecting any new physical evidence, accounts from potential witnesses, and forensic clues that could support a clearer timeline of Nancy's disappearance. The involvement of drones and widespread search activity reflects a multi‑layered investigation that, despite its length, has yet to produce a definitive public break.
In the meantime, police are still encouraging anyone who may have relevant information to come forward, as tips remain crucial. With each renewed sweep of the Guthrie home and surrounding areas, authorities hope the next clue may bring them closer to resolving a mystery that has captivated and concerned communities nationwide.
