Law Enforcement Continues to Process Forensic Evidence
TUCSON, Ariz. — Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie, remains missing more than six weeks after authorities say she was taken against her will from her home in the Catalina Foothills outside Tucson in the early morning hours of Feb. 1, 2026.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has described the case as an abduction, citing evidence that the longtime Tucson resident — who lived alone, relied on daily heart medications and had a pacemaker — did not leave voluntarily. Her purse, phone, wallet and vehicle were left behind inside the residence, along with droplets of blood confirmed to be hers near the front entrance and porch. No signs of a major struggle were reported.
Guthrie was last seen by family on the evening of Jan. 31. She took an Uber to daughter Annie Cioni’s nearby home around 5:32 p.m. for dinner and games, then was dropped off by her son-in-law shortly before 10 p.m. She entered through the garage, which closed behind her. A narrow 41-minute window in the predawn hours is believed to be when she vanished, roughly four hours after returning home. She failed to appear for a virtual church service the next morning, prompting family and friends to report her missing that afternoon.
Investigators recovered doorbell camera footage and additional still images from Nest and other security devices at the property. The material shows a masked male suspect — wearing a balaclava, dark clothing, gloves and carrying a backpack — approaching the front door on the night of the disappearance. In one sequence, the individual appears to tamper with the camera. Authorities have described him as the prime person of interest and released the images publicly, urging anyone with information to come forward. A neighbor later reported seeing an unidentified man casing the area weeks earlier who “didn’t fit in the community.”
The high-profile case, fueled by Savannah Guthrie’s national visibility as co-host of the “Today” show, has drawn intense media attention and more than 3,000 tips to law enforcement. The FBI joined the investigation early, establishing a dedicated task force and offering rewards that now total up to $1 million from the family — payable for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s safe recovery or the arrest and conviction of those responsible — alongside federal contributions.
Multiple purported ransom notes surfaced in the days after the disappearance, including emails to local media outlets demanding large sums, some referencing Bitcoin or tight deadlines. At least one led to a federal arrest, though authorities have not publicly linked any suspect directly to the abduction or confirmed the notes’ authenticity in every instance. Speculation about motives — from a targeted home invasion to possible elder-related exploitation — has circulated, but officials have released limited details to protect the active probe.
Searches have been extensive. Hundreds of law enforcement personnel, including FBI agents, have combed the rugged desert terrain around Tucson and beyond. Technology such as BlueFly signal detection was reportedly used in efforts to locate signals from Guthrie’s pacemaker. Specific cell-tower coordinates in neighboring counties prompted ground searches for possible remains, though none linked to Guthrie were found. Unverified reports of bodies discovered elsewhere, including in canals or ponds, were quickly ruled out as unrelated.
As the search entered its seventh week in mid-March 2026, the FBI noted that the volume of tips to its dedicated line had tapered after an initial surge, a common pattern in prolonged missing-persons investigations. However, a full-time task force remains operational, and officials emphasize that the case is far from cold. Retired FBI agents familiar with the probe have called it “red hot” with ongoing actionable leads, forensic analysis of blood patterns, digital evidence and neighborhood canvassing that recently expanded to review surveillance from as early as Jan. 24 — about a week before the disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Nanos has faced public criticism and a recall effort over the pace of the investigation and perceived transparency issues, including the timing of evidence releases. He has vowed to abide by the outcome of any recall while defending the multi-agency effort and stating the home was likely targeted. Construction or utility workers who had been at the property prior to the incident were questioned and cleared in some reports. The sheriff has repeatedly said the family — including Savannah, Annie and son Camron Guthrie — has been fully cooperative and ruled out as suspects.
Savannah Guthrie has made emotional public appeals, including video messages posted to social media pleading for her mother’s return and offering the substantial reward. In one, she said, “Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home.” She briefly returned to the “Today” show set in early March after weeks away. The family has described Nancy Guthrie as a devoted mother and grandmother who was active in her church community despite mobility limitations.
Experts have noted the case’s rarity. Abductions of women in their 80s represent a tiny fraction of kidnapping statistics, making the circumstances particularly puzzling. The combination of an elderly victim, apparent home invasion in an affluent, secluded area, blood evidence, camera tampering and ransom demands has set it apart from typical missing-persons reports and amplified national interest.
Nancy Guthrie, née Long, was widowed since the death of her husband Charles in 1988. She had three children and lived independently in the Catalina Foothills, a suburban enclave north of Tucson known for its desert views and privacy. Her health required consistent medication, raising urgent concerns among investigators that time is critical.
As of March 18, 2026, her whereabouts and condition remain unknown. Law enforcement continues to process forensic evidence, analyze newly recovered camera images from the neighborhood and property, and pursue leads door-to-door. Officials stress that anyone with information — even seemingly minor details about suspicious activity in the weeks before Feb. 1 — should contact authorities immediately.
The FBI tip line is 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Tips can also be submitted online or to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900. Anonymous reports are accepted via 88-CRIME (520-882-7463). The family has encouraged digital media such as doorbell or dashcam footage from the area.
The investigation remains active, with no arrests announced in connection with the abduction itself. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the suspect could strike again and continue to ask the public for help solving what Sheriff Nanos has called a targeted crime that has upended a family and captivated the nation.

Wall Street ends sharply lower after Fed keeps rates unchanged
The company is still weighing an IPO, but is unlikely to move ahead until market conditions improve, according to the report.

Iran certainly is not a forever war as President Trump has said many times. Indeed, Mr. Trump is “ending” Iran’s forever war against the United States. Yet now it looks like the Fed chairman, Jay Powell, wants to be the Fed’s first forever board member. Telling a press conference that he will remain on the Federal Reserve’s board of governors until the investigation is “well and truly over.” Whatever that means.
This is unwelcome news to stock markets, as the Dow fell by more than 700 points, to a new 2026 low. It fell about 300 points after Mr. Powell made his forever board member comment. All the indexes were down today. Bond rates went up. As did oil prices.
Actually, the Fed’s dot plot of economic projections suggested only one projected rate cut this year instead of three before the war began. They also suggested higher inflation and a slight rise in growth.
What you really want is for the Fed to just keep its powder dry, as the Iran war winds down and oil prices move back to pre-war normalcy. Yet it seems like the Fed is already signaling a higher interest rate policy, which would do some damage to the American economy.
That’s one reason why it’s crucial that Mr. Trump’s nominee for Fed chairman, Kevin Warsh, be liberated as rapidly as possible to take over the central bank’s helm and get rid of the Fed models that say stronger growth leads to higher inflation. I’m calling it #FreeKevin.
And have someone who understands the economic growth benefits of lower tax rates, deregulation, and drill baby drill, which is a prosperity prescription that would raise growth and reduce inflation. And protect King Dollar.
Yet in order to liberate Mr. Warsh, it seems like the Justice Department has got to settle its disagreement with the Federal Reserve. Otherwise, Mr. Warsh will never get through the Senate Banking Committee, even though they love him, and Mr. Powell will stay at the Fed forever.
He might even be somehow voted to stay on as chairman by the Fed’s policy-setting body, the Open Market Committee, which really always leans against Mr. Trump. Or Steven Miran would have to give up his board seat to make room for Mr. Warsh’s board appointment, but not necessarily as the chairman. If you think this is a confusing and bizarre scenario, you would be right.
I believe that post-war American growth potential is around 5 percent. And as energy prices normalize, the inflation rate will drop below 2 percent. By the way, on inflation, a measure of the money supply, M2, is growing at 3.5 percent, not President Biden’s 30 percent.
Government spending has slowed down. And the dollar’s been rising. Those are all counter-inflationary moves. The Jay Powell Fed only sees a measly 2 percent economic growth. That’s what their models tell, but it’s garbage in, garbage out. Please will someone liberate Mr. Kevin Warsh? #FreeKevin.
Sydney — As Australia intensifies its push toward net-zero emissions and circular economy practices in 2026, a growing number of businesses are setting benchmarks for environmental responsibility. From innovative startups tackling waste and energy challenges to established firms embedding sustainability into core operations, these companies demonstrate that profitability and planetary health can align.
Recent reports, including the Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking and World Benchmarking Alliance assessments, highlight Australian leaders in areas like waste management, renewable energy and low-impact manufacturing. B Corp certification, now held by over 740 companies across Australia and New Zealand, provides a rigorous measure of social and environmental performance. Here are 10 standout eco-friendly companies making significant impacts in 2026.
- Brambles Ltd The global supply-chain solutions provider, headquartered in Sydney, ranks among the world’s most sustainable corporations in the 2026 Corporate Knights Global 100. Brambles, parent of CHEP pallet pooling, excels in circular economy models that reuse and recycle wooden pallets, reducing deforestation and waste. Its near-perfect scores in sustainability metrics reflect strong governance, low emissions intensity and resource efficiency, positioning it as a leader in sustainable logistics.
- Sims Ltd A Melbourne-based recycling giant, Sims secured a high placement in the 2026 Global 100 for its waste management expertise. The company processes millions of tons of metal, electronics and other materials annually, diverting waste from landfills and recovering valuable resources. Sims’ focus on circularity, emissions reduction and ethical sourcing earns it consistent A- ratings, making it a cornerstone of Australia’s resource recovery sector.
- Hysata This Wollongong startup is pioneering green hydrogen production with capillary-fed electrolyser technology that promises higher efficiency and lower costs than traditional methods.

- Who Gives A Crap The toilet paper company, founded in Melbourne, uses 100% recycled or bamboo materials and donates 50% of profits to sanitation projects. Certified B Corp status underscores its commitment to ethical sourcing, plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral operations. In 2026, it continues expanding sustainable consumer goods while supporting global hygiene initiatives.

- Outland Denim The Queensland fashion brand produces sustainable jeans using eco-friendly materials and fair labor practices. Certified B Corp, Outland emphasizes low-water denim production and ethical supply chains. Its “cycle of freedom” mission combines environmental care with social impact, inspiring sustainable fashion in Australia.
These companies reflect broader trends in 2026: stronger governance linking executive pay to sustainability targets, rising climate transition planning and innovation in green technologies. While mining and energy sectors face scrutiny, leaders like Brambles and Sims show resource-intensive industries can achieve high sustainability standards. Startups such as Hysata and Bygen drive breakthroughs in clean energy and waste valorization.
Government policies, including enhanced emissions reporting and incentives for renewables, support this momentum. Investor expectations and regulatory pressure push more firms toward credible action. As Australia navigates its nature-dependent economy, these eco-friendly trailblazers offer models for balancing growth with environmental stewardship.
Los Angeles — Australian actress Samara Weaving, 34, continues her ascent in Hollywood with a string of high-profile roles, including a highly anticipated horror sequel and an upcoming action-comedy thriller. Known for her fearless performances in genre films, Weaving has solidified her status as a modern scream queen while embracing personal milestones, including her first pregnancy announced in late 2025. As she promotes two major projects premiering in early 2026, here are 10 key things to know about the versatile performer.
- Born in Adelaide, Raised Globally Weaving was born Feb. 23, 1992, in Adelaide, South Australia. Her family moved frequently during her childhood, living in Singapore, Fiji, Indonesia and Australia due to her father’s diplomatic career. This nomadic upbringing exposed her to diverse cultures early on, shaping her adaptability and global perspective — traits that serve her well in an international film industry.
- Early Breakthrough in Australian Television Weaving launched her career in Australia with roles in popular series. She gained recognition for her work on the long-running soap opera “Home and Away” (2009-2013), where she played Indi Walker. The part showcased her dramatic range and helped her transition from local TV to international projects, laying the foundation for her move to Hollywood.
- Breakout Horror Role in ‘The Babysitter’ Weaving’s U.S. breakthrough came with the 2017 Netflix horror-comedy “The Babysitter,” directed by McG. Her portrayal of the villainous Bee solidified her genre credentials. The film’s success led to a sequel in 2020, establishing her as a go-to actress for dark, comedic horror roles that blend gore with sharp wit.
- Iconic Performance in ‘Ready or Not’ Weaving achieved widespread acclaim in 2019’s “Ready or Not,” playing Grace, a bride thrust into a deadly game of hide-and-seek with her in-laws. The film’s blend of satire, suspense and blood-soaked action made it a cult favorite. Weaving’s physical commitment and ability to convey both vulnerability and ferocity earned her praise as a standout scream queen.
- Reprising Grace in ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ In 2026, Weaving returns as Grace in “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence). The sequel premiered at SXSW in March 2026, with Weaving reuniting with co-stars including Elijah Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton. Despite being heavily pregnant, she attended a Los Angeles screening on March 16, 2026, at AMC The Grove, baring her baby bump in a peekaboo dress and reuniting with Margot Robbie.
- Starring in SXSW Double-Feature Weaving headlined a gory double-feature at SXSW 2026 with “Ready or Not 2” and “Over Your Dead Body,” an action-comedy thriller directed by Jorma Taccone. The latter, a remake of the Norwegian film “The Trip,” co-stars Jason Segel and follows a couple’s romantic getaway that turns murderous. Weaving joined the SXSW premiere via FaceTime and cutout due to her pregnancy, but her involvement underscores her commitment to bold, genre-blending projects.
- Upcoming Crime Romance ‘Carolina Caroline’ Weaving stars in “Carolina Caroline,” a crime romance set to premiere June 5, 2026. The film pairs her with Kyle Gallner and Kyra Sedgwick, promising a shift toward more dramatic territory while maintaining her edge in intense storytelling.
- Personal Life: Married to Jimmy Warden Weaving married screenwriter and director Jimmy Warden in 2019. The couple met on the set of “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” and have collaborated professionally. Warden’s creative influence appears in her career choices, blending her horror roots with varied genres.
- Expecting First Child In late 2025, Weaving announced she is expecting her first child with Warden. The pregnancy has been highly visible in 2026 promotions, including a March ELLE Australia cover featuring an intimate, at-home photoshoot in white lace. Weaving has shared glimpses of her relaxed energy during this time, balancing motherhood preparations with a busy filming schedule.
- Embracing Genre Versatility and Future Aspirations Despite her horror reputation, Weaving has expressed interest in branching out. In a March 2026 Deadline interview, she described herself as a “scaredy-cat” growing up but now thrives in intense roles. She harbors “quiet dreams” of improv comedy and lighter projects. Her executive producer credit on “Ready or Not 2” signals growing involvement behind the camera, hinting at expanded creative control in future endeavors.
Weaving’s 2026 marks a pivotal year: major releases, personal joy and continued genre dominance. With her blend of physicality, charisma and range, she remains one of Hollywood’s most compelling rising stars, poised for even greater impact as she navigates motherhood and an evolving career.
