Why Did Cassie Randolph Get a Restraining Order for Colton Underwood?
Colton Underwood‘s past relationship with Cassie Randolph — and her restraining order against him — resurfaced during his stint on The Traitors, but what actually happened between the exes?
Underwood’s love life became a topic of conversation on The Bachelorette when he joined Becca Kufrin’s season 14 in 2018. He later appeared on season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise before becoming the season 23 Bachelor lead in 2019.
The reality star formed a connection with Randolph that resulted in that iconic fence-jumping scene. Despite ending the show together, the couple didn’t get engaged but remained in a relationship for a year after The Bachelor.
After their split, Us Weekly confirmed in September 2020 that Randolph was granted a restraining order against Underwood. She claimed he was stalking and harassing her. The case was dropped in November 2020, and Underwood came out as gay the following year.
Colton Underwood’s relationships made headlines before and after he joined Bachelor Nation. Underwood fell fast for Olympian Aly Raisman after being set up by a friend. “Aly was easy to talk to. She was open, funny, bright, honest, and inquisitive. She laughed easily and had a smile that I would’ve been happy to simply gaze […]
When Did Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph Meet?
Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph formed a connection on season 23 of The Bachelor, which premiered in January 2019. Randolph later told Underwood she loved him but wasn’t ready to be engaged, so she chose to leave the show. Underwood, meanwhile, was so upset that he jumped over a fence and tried to leave as well.
During the March 2019 finale, Underwood cut ties with the other women and went to Randolph’s hotel room to reconcile.
How Long Did Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph Date?
After their time on The Bachelor came to an end, Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph dated for over a year.
“It was a lot of changes, for sure, because we went from these more simple, more normal lives and then all of a sudden, we film a show and then you’re thrown into craziness where everyone is very hyperaware of everything that goes on in your life and your relationship,” Randolph told Us in October 2019 about adjusting to a romance in the public eye. “It was a little bit of a struggle at first, I think — like adjusting to everything. But I feel like now we’ve kind of gotten used to it and learned to balance everything a lot more.”
Underwood pointed out that the show helped them grow their relationship.
“I think you learn to communicate too,” he explained. “Just with whether it’s tabloids or someone speculating a certain thing or people reading into your body language, you know. You just learn how to communicate with each other and you’ll be on the same page with everything going on. … Nobody could ever prepare you for what life is like after that. Like, you can have people tell you all you want, like, ‘Oh, wait for this, wait for this.’ But until you’re in it, you don’t really get the full magnitude of it.”
When Did Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph Break Up?
Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph revealed via Instagram in May 2020 that they had decided to call it quits.
“Colton and I have broken up, but have decided to remain a part of each others lives. With all that we have gone through, we have a special bond that will always be there,” Randolph wrote at the time. “I love Colton very much and have an enormous amount of respect for him. We have both learned and grown so much these past couple years, and will always have each other’s back. Always.”
Why Did Cassie Randolph Request a Restraining Order Against Colton Underwood?
Following some public back-and-forth in the wake of their split, news broke in September 2020 that Cassie Randolph filed a restraining order against Colton Underwood, claiming he had planted a tracking device in her car, harassed her via text message and showed up uninvited to her apartment and her parents’ house after their breakup.
The order was granted, forcing Underwood to stay at least 100 yards away from Randolph. He was also ordered not to contact her.
Two months later, Underwood revealed that the case had been settled privately, and the restraining order was dropped.
How Did Colton Underwood Address the Scandal?
Colton Underwood broke his silence about his personal life when he came out on Good Morning America in April 2021. He claimed that he was previously very much in love with Cassie Randolph, which caused confusion and led to a tumultuous breakup.
“I’m sorry for any pain and emotional stress I caused,” he said. “I wish that it wouldn’t have happened the way that it did. I wish that I had been courageous enough to fix myself before I broke anybody else.”
Later that year, Underwood addressed the legal drama again on his Netflix docuseries, Coming Out Colton.
“I think that [the restraining order] was sort of a huge wake-up call. I’m sad that it even got to that point to where that had to be my wake-up call, and me affecting other people in my life was sort of the moment that I realized I had to come out,” he told Us in December 2021. “Obviously, I wish I would have had the courage to come out without having to be pushed.”
Randolph was asked to be part of the series, but she declined.
Another Bachelor Nation love story has come to an end. Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph didn’t have the traditional romance — or even the traditional Bachelor timeline. However, from the moment they met on the season 23 Bachelor premiere, the pair were connected. Although their onscreen journey wasn’t an easy one (the fence jump!), they […]
Has Cassie Randolph Said Anything About the Legal Drama?
Cassie Randolph, who has been married to Brighton Reinhardt since 2025, has remained largely tight-lipped about what happened with Colton Underwood. She made a rare comment in March 2022 on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast, saying, “I haven’t talked about it, so it’s really hard for me to talk about it at all, or even know the right thing to say when addressing it. I feel so much pressure when asked about it that I would love to be able to be open and candid about things, but I’m just not there yet. I’m sure I will one day want to speak on it because there’s just a lot there.”
Randolph also claimed that her ex didn’t give her a heads-up that he was planning to come out on national TV. “I found out the same way that everyone else did,” she recalled. “I was actually in Mexico on vacation with friends. … But yeah, I found out, I think, through Snapchat on GMA. It was horrible. It was just, like, a shocking kind of feeling. ”
Later that year, Randolph issued a message to Underwood.
“I’m very happy that he is … at peace with himself and not carrying that burden anymore, of course,” Randolph said on an October 2022 episode of the “Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous” podcast. “It was a very, just, overall hard time for me, so I feel like there was just one thing after another and I was just extremely overwhelmed with everything going on.”
Why Was Colton Underwood’s Past With Cassie Randolph Revisited?
Colton Underwood appeared on season 4 of The Traitors in early 2026, which led to backlash from viewers who knew about his issues with Cassie Randolph.
“I met with production. I met with Peacock. I was like, ‘I’m down to do this.’ Because this show is about strategy. It is about the game. It is about traitors. It is not personal,” he explained to Vanity Fair in February 2026 about trying to keep the narrative off the show. “My only ask is, like, if I do this, I don’t want people to bring up anything outside of the game. I have a family now, right? I’m … so far past what happened six years ago.”
Underwood addressed what happened with Randolph at the reunion after not discussing it during the season.
“I think what I can understand from people viewing me back on television, if you didn’t follow my story and what I went through, and you watched me as the Bachelor in 2019, and then, all of a sudden, you’re tuning in in 2026,” he said. “I had an incredibly difficult couple of years, and I’ve grown, I’ve changed. I’ve put in so much work into myself and to my family. I never really thought the way that I would show up and play Traitors would be linked to one of the darkest and most horrible moments of my life.”
Have Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph Spoken Since the Restraining Order Was Dropped?
“I have no contact. If she ever did reach out or want to reach out, I would be open to answering any questions that her or her family would have for me,” Colton Underwood told Vanity Fair in February 2026. “That is something I’ve always offered. I’m in no position to really say much more than that or reach out. There’s been no part of me that would. I would always be up for it. It’s all on her terms.”
Underwood reflected on what led to the messy breakup.
“It was 2020. It was, as people remember, COVID. I was fully convinced that she was gonna be my last straight … like, I was going to have to either kill myself or come out. That’s just transparently, like, where my mindset was,” he elaborated. “I don’t know if this is the right phrase, but it was somewhat of the perfect storm of me hitting rock bottom, of me really trying to navigate, ‘Am I gonna kill myself or am I gonna come out?’ That’s just where I was at.”
Underwood, who is now married to husband Jordan C. Brown, also revealed he was being blackmailed about his sexuality at the time and was “struggling with Xanax and prescription medications.”
“It was a pretty intense moment in my life where I made some really, really poor decisions. The difficult part now is seeing the people who have a lot to say about what happened six years ago,” he noted. “It’s lacking a lot of the context of where our world was at, but also where I was at, the state of mind that I was in.”
Underwood continued: “The pressures and the threats that I was going through. I will always take accountability. I will always own mistakes that I made. But everything that you’re seeing on social media — these videos, these people who have a lot to say — is not correct.”

Prince Harry refused to address his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest during a TV interview while visiting humanitarian organizations in Jordan.
“I understand you don’t wish to talk about your family, your uncle, things back in London you’re here because you don’t want to distract from the work you’re doing on the WHO and on Gaza,” a Channel 4 correspondent said to Harry, 41, in a video released on Friday, February 27, before segueing into the topic at hand.
“Firstly, why are you here in Jordan? Why is it so important to you?” the reporter asked.
Harry ignored the remark about Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, and said that he spoke with Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, in the months leading up to the trip. He noted they were both passionate about highlighting “the incredible work that Jordan does for this region.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at his Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, on Thursday, February 19 — his 66th birthday. The United Kingdom’s Thames Valley Police confirmed that they had “arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office.” While they did not reveal the suspect’s identity, due to national […]
“The work’s been going on for decades, but more so recently, it’s been a humanitarian hub for the Middle East, especially with everything that’s going on in Gaza, and also Syria, as well,” the Duke of Sussex continued.
Harry explained that violence in that region can be overshadowed. “It was a really important time for us to collaborate and come here and shine a light and focus on the very real humanitarian catastrophe that has happened and continues,” he went on, praising “the incredible work that Jordan does for this region.”

The former senior royal and wife Meghan Markle spent this week visiting a refugee camp, aid organizations and treatment centers in partnership with the World Health Organization.
Harry’s trip came almost one week after the arrest of Andrew, 66, for allegedly engaging in illegal misconduct while serving in public office. (Andrew was released from police custody within hours of his arrest.)
The Thames Valley police department said authorities were investigating claims that Andrew shared confidential information with late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, per BBC.
King Charles III has broken his silence on brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in […]
Andrew, the former Duke of York, was notably stripped of his remaining titles by King Charles III in October 2025 over his links to Epstein. The decision was made amidst renewed scrutiny, following a decision by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 to remove his military affiliations and patronages, which resulted in Andrew no longer using “His Royal Highness” title.
He had previously been accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, who said they first met through an Epstein associate. Andrew denied the claims and later reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre for an undisclosed sum. (Giuffre died at 41 on April 25, 2025).
Attorney James J. Sexton told Us Weekly the evidence against Andrew is “damning.” If convicted, he faces life in prison.
“He’s certainly in a position where he’s been out of the graces of the royal family for a long time and for a myriad of reasons, but this is certainly the most damning pool of evidence that’s ever been provided against him,” Sexton told Us. “It’s certainly something that any attorney looks at and says, ‘I would not want to try to make a meal out of those ingredients,’ because it is not a favorable one for him, and it’s a good one for the prosecution.”
Rapper Luci4
‘Erratic Behavior’ Before Death, Cops Tell Family
Published
Up-and-coming rapper Luci4 was found dead in an L.A. residence on Sunday … and now we’re learning more about his movements hours prior to his death.
We broke the news … the rapper — best known for his viral hit “BodyPartz” — was found dead at a friend’s house at the age of 23. His cause of death has yet to be determined … and his family wants answers.
The father of Luci4 — born James Dear IV — tells TMZ … last Saturday, his son was running late to catch a 10:52 PM flight to Miami for a concert.
There was a pre-boarding issue with TSA … and James got super upset, which is when his father says LAX Police got involved — and he was detained.
Officers reached out to James’ grandmother to “inquire about his mental welfare and had concerns that he may have been under the influence,” his father says … and she was told he would be taken to the hospital due to alleged “erratic behavior and for his safety.”
His father tells TMZ … James had no history of “diagnosed” mental illness.
About 20 minutes later, James called his grandmother to say he was no longer detained — and if there wasn’t another flight, he’d drop by her home for fresh clothes. He never showed … and the next day, Feb. 22, Luci4 was found dead.
The family has reached out to the airport authorities for more information … such as what exactly did Luci4 do — and who was with him.
The family suspects foul play since James’ wallet, they say, was found empty inside the home — his cash and ID were gone.
His cause of death is currently listed by the L.A. medical examiner as “deferred.” LAPD did not send homicide detectives to the scene … and said the case was with the coroner.
The family created a GoFundMe, which reads in part … “He touched the lives of so many with his creativity, kindness, and desire to share with others. Even though he did not reach all of his dreams, the impact he left on those who knew him is immeasurable.”
We’ve reached out to LAX and airport authorities for more info … so far, no word back.

This Controversial Sitcom Opened to 8.8M Viewers 10 Years Ago, but Was Cancelled Just As Fast
Television is an unforgiving business. Most shows never make it past the pitch stage, and even the ones that do live and die by ratings. Network TV may be viewed as a primitive medium now, but it’s still cutthroat, which is exactly the lesson Joel McHale’s character tries to teach the “coddled” millennials in The Great Indoors. And while we’re still waiting on the long-promised Community movie, it’s worth revisiting the McHale series that briefly looked like a hit before the numbers turned.
The CBS show experienced surprising success during the onset stages of the first season in 2016. During the second half of the season, The Great Indoors‘ ratings plummeted, and the show was cancelled upon the season’s conclusion in 2017. Some would claim the show was not so much taken off the schedule, but rather, a victim of “cancel culture,” due to offending millennials. But in reality, it cancelled itself due to an egregious misread on the part of executives to move away from the perfect lead-in.
McHale Is an Older Journalist Teaching Millennials How To Work in the Real World in ‘The Great Indoors’
Created by Mike Gibbons, co-creator of Tosh.0 and prolific late-night writer, The Great Indoors follows an outdoors magazine journalist, Jack (McHale), who becomes the boss of a group of millennials after the magazine pivots to exclusively digital. Jack, an old-school guy with traditional ways, clashes with the new generation and their tech-obsessed behavior. The magazine is produced by an outdoors adventurer and staunch baby boomer, Roland (Stephen Fry). The series also features Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Christine Ko as the naive millennial employees, and Chris Williams as Jack’s friend and bar owner, who guides him on how to manage this group of young hipsters. Susannah Fielding stars as Brooke, who once had a romantic fling with Jack, and is not only Roland’s daughter but Jack’s boss as well. Throughout the show, Jack embarks on a series of romantic endeavors.
This Is What Happens When You Let Joel McHale Do Everything
Turns out ‘The 1% Club’ host Joel McHale didn’t choose a lane — he built the whole road.
Because modern-day seemingly exists in a cultural vacuum, any year of the decade blends in with each other with few distinct characteristics, but derisively looking down upon millennials as a curse on society is very much 2016-coded. It was a time when “triggering” people deemed “snowflakes” was in vogue and used unironically. The Great Indoors premiered on October 27, 2016, less than two weeks before the hotly contested Presidential election, which was a platform for that hostile dialogue surrounding toughness and fortitude. While the CBS show is not explicitly political or socially active to any degree, it imagines a fantasy where the traditionally masculine, world-traveling reporter teaches inexperienced twentysomethings how to operate in the world beyond the purview of their computer. In the same breath, it gleefully pokes fun at the vanity and arrogance of McHale’s character.
‘The Great Indoors’ Sparked Controversy Among Some Millennials
Life mirroring art, The Great Indoors, a show that provokes its millennial characters, was mired in controversy among millennials upon release. At a press conference for the show’s pilot, a fiery discussion broke out between Gibbons and the cast with members of Millennial Media. The showrunner shared that when they focus-grouped the pilot, the millennial viewer took umbrage with the jokes about the respective generation being coddled. A millennial audience member interrupted Gibbons and asked, “How are we so coddled, and what about our overly politically correct workplace bothers you?” in an incendiary tone. Stephen Fry defended his showrunner, bringing up familiar talking points such as his generation growing up in tougher times, which ignited more contentious back-and-forths between Gibbons and the disgruntled audience member. Gibbons clarified that he respects millennials and their intelligence, but added that they have an “inability to resist taking four photos of themselves a day. They will come back if it’s about them.”
Defending himself against the wrath of the combative millennial audience member, Gibbons insisted that The Great Indoors is an equal-opportunity offender, claiming it targets younger generations and the older generations of McHale and Fry. When a different conference attendee asked Gibbons if the show would be dismissed for its simplistic premise, the writer jokingly responded, “Our show is going to make America great again.” In 2016, those latter four words were destined to ignite any crowd, positively or negatively. The millennial audience member returned to ask if Gibbons wanted millennials to watch the show, since he was striving to alienate them. If the show is offending millennials, it is “the best strategy ever,” McHale responded.
‘The Great Indoors’ Struggled Once It Lost Its ‘Big Bang Theory’ Lead-in
It appeared The Great Indoors struck a chord with a certain demographic in America, as it opened to a solid rating of 8.8 million viewers. Most importantly, the show received a 1.9 rating in the key 18-49 age demographic. The show attracted enough attention to earn a full season extension through 2017. However, The Great Indoors proved to be a front-runner, as the ratings plummeted in the second half of the season. The May 1 airing of Episode 21 dropped to 4.1 million viewers and a 0.8 demo rating.
What happened? Did the “woke mob” ostracize The Great Indoors from the airwaves? Some would tie the show’s initial outrage from select millennials to the show’s eventual cancellation, but the explanation is actually simpler than that. The series initially aired right after CBS’s crown jewel, The Big Bang Theory. Having an advantageous lead-in of that caliber is vital for a brand-new show, and Gibbons’ sitcom capitalized on that opportunity with high ratings. All but the last two episodes of its lone season aired on Thursday nights, then, for whatever reason, executives moved it to Monday to conclude the season. The week before moving to Mondays, the show received 6.4 million viewers and a 1.2 demo. The following week, without the aid of The Big Bang Theory, ratings dropped to 0.9. The series failed to obtain a second season.
Even in an era where network television, especially multi-camera sitcoms, is marginalized in pop culture, the fundamental principles remain intact. An ideal lead-in like The Big Bang Theory can set a show up for decades-long success. When Seinfeld premiered, it aired behind Cheers, and by the time the latter show ended, the former carried the mantle as NBC’s prized show. However, The Great Indoors is no Seinfeld, but merely a forgotten, poorly reviewed sitcom with redundant jokes about every clichéd stereotype of millennials. The show ridiculed people left and right, but they didn’t get the last laugh once the show lost The Big Bang Theory lead-in. If anything, sticking with this lead-in would appear to be common sense, something that Joel McHale’s character would likely mock millennials for lacking.
The Great Indoors is available to rent on Prime Video in the U.S.
Michael Jackson’s former family friends, the Cascios, have reportedly filed a lawsuit against his estate, alleging sex trafficking and abuse. According to TMZ, members of the Cascio family claim they endured decades of misconduct, starting when some of them were minors.

Cascios Family Claims Michael Jackson Subjected Them To Years Of Misconduct
Edward Cascio, Dominic Cascio, Marie Porte, and Aldo Cascio filed a lawsuit against The Michael Jackson Company, accusing the corporation of sex trafficking children through force, fraud, and coercion. In the suit, they claim the pop icon carried out the alleged conduct for years, starting when some of them were just seven or eight years old. The siblings stated that Jackson would insert himself into their lives by showering them with gifts and giving them access to his lavish lifestyle. Afterwards, he would allegedly separate them from each other and from their families before carrying out years of abuse.
The lawsuit lists several accusations, including claims that he targeted the siblings during interstate and international trips, taking them to places like Switzerland, Florida, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Edward Cascio specifically alleges that Jackson assault him inside Elizabeth Taylor’s home in Switzerland and Elton John’s home in the United Kingdom. The Cascios also argue that Jackson tried to normalize the abuse by showing them explicit photos of nude children. Additionally, the family mentioned that MJ frequently used prescription drugs such as Xanax and Vicodin.
The Cascios previously approached Jackson’s estate after watching the 2019 ‘Leaving Neverland’ documentary, leading them to secure a settlement. TMZ notes that each sibling reportedly collected $690K, per year for five years, but they now consider that amount insufficient. Their attorney, Mark Geragos, reportedly traveled to Los Angeles last month in an effort to void the agreement. However, MJ’s estate lawyer, Marty Singer, pushed back and accused the siblings of attempting to extort the late singer’s team.
Social Media Reacts To Allegations In MJ Lawsuit
After The Shade Room posted the details about the suit against Michael Jackson’s estate, fans flooded the comment section. Some said they don’t believe the allegations, while others insisted on letting the “King of Pop” rest in peace.
Instagram user @liyaahjasinyah wrote, “Bro he’s been gone since 2009 be fr rn.”
Instagram user @thegatheringspots wrote, “It’s still Black History Month.”
While Instagram user @sheismichaela wrote, “Yeah.. this is where you cut it out.”
Then Instagram user @joshuamccravey wrote, “Mike been gone longer than most children on the internet been alive. Please let him rest in peace already.”
Another Instagram user @jcockerhamofficial wrote, “WE THE PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE YOU BEAT IT!”
Instagram user @deucecaliber wrote, “Ain’t no way. This man ain’t got a good 24 hrs rest since he passed 😔”
Then another Instagram user @saucee.chasee wrote, “anything to take the spot light off the Epstein files.. we ain’t having it. nice try.”
Finally, Instagram user @_jadaabigail wrote, “You guys don’t want to let this man rest in peace.”
MJ’s Estate Previously Made Headlines For Reportedly Reacting To Sexyy Red’s ‘Beat It’ Sample
Earlier this month, Michael’s team made headlines after Sexyy Red teased a spicy sample of ‘Beat It.’ Some fans thought she was just trolling and having fun in the studio, but the viral clip reportedly caught MJ’s estate’s attention. ‘Breakfast Club’ host Loren Lorosa said a spokesperson from the estate spoke with her exclusively, making it clear that Sexyy Red didn’t have permission to use Michael’s music. The spokesperson also added that the estate had no idea about Red’s sample before it went viral.

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’
L.A. Spinoff Pilot Filmed, Ready for Green Light!!!
Published
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” fans can expect a possible West Coast spinoff … and if it gets the official green light, sources tell us the show could be rolling cameras within weeks!
Production sources connected to the project tell TMZ a pilot episode has already been filmed and shopped around … and now it’s simply a waiting game for a full series pickup.
We’re told March is the tentative target to get cameras back up … but that all hinges on a network or a streamer making it official … the foundation is there, and now it’s decision time.
As for location, our sources say the show is primarily based in Orange County, California — though there’s strong buzz the title might sport a Los Angeles reference instead.
While the cast hasn’t been publicly revealed, our source swears it’s “so good” … teasing that fans may recognize a few familiar faces stepping into larger roles with their own dedicated storylines.
The current Hulu hit series is a Utah-based show following a group of social media-savvy “MomTok” influencers — Taylor Frankie Paul, Demi Engemann, Jennifer Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews and Whitney Leavitt — as they juggle motherhood, friendships and very public personal drama.
As the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, continues, authorities are remaining tight-lipped on some burning questions surrounding the case.
Nearly a month after Nancy, 84, was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home, police have yet to identify a suspect or person of interest in the case.
“This remains an active investigation and will continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement on February 27, 2026. “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate.”
Nancy was last seen at her home in Arizona after she was dropped off by family members on January 31, 2026. One day later, Nancy did not attend a virtual service for her church, which caused alarm.
Today cohost Savannah Guthrie has frequently appealed to the public for help following the mysterious disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, in Arizona. Pima County police suspect that Nancy was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of February 1, 2026. Per law enforcement, a […]
Since then, her disappearance has grabbed the attention of millions of Americans who want to bring Nancy home.
As the investigation continues, take a look at the most burning questions that police seemingly can’t address quite yet.
How Did Someone Get Into Nancy Guthrie’s Home?

On February 12, 2026, the FBI released surveillance footage of a suspect on Nancy’s porch the night of her alleged kidnapping. Since then, people have wondered how the kidnapper got access to Nancy’s home.
While theories range from the door being unlocked to the suspect having a key, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos will not reveal exactly what could have happened.
“I’m not going to go into whether that’s forced entry or not forced entry or my suspicions,” Nanos told NBC News on February 17.
Was Blood Found Inside Nancy Guthrie’s Home?
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed reports that there was blood found inside Nancy Guthrie’s home.
“We’re not confirming whether there was blood in the home or any of that,” Nanos told NewsNation on February 3, 2026. “What we’re saying is we do have evidence that we submitted to DNA labs, actually, through other sources that we use, and they have confirmed that the DNA that we found was in fact, belonged to Nancy, Savannah’s mom, which we were hopeful that it would give us a different profile than just hers, but that’s where we’re at with the DNA.”
Who Is the Suspect in Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance?
Days after FBI Director Kash Patel shared surveillance photos and footage of a potential suspect spotted at Nancy Guthrie’s porch the night of her disappearance, authorities released “identifying details” about the person caught on camera.
The suspect is described as a “male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.”
Police, however, have not confirmed if they’ve identified the person caught on camera.
Do Police Have New Leads in the Case?
In an Instagram video posted on February 24, 2026, Savannah Guthrie revealed that a reward of up to $1 million will be paid for the recovery of Nancy Guthrie.
In just one day, the FBI received “more than 750 tips related to Nancy’s disappearance” following Savannah’s latest message, Today reported.
While it’s unclear if any of the tips have provided substantial leads, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously told NBC News, “When you’re transparent, it doesn’t mean you just open up your whole investigation up.”
Why Is Nancy Guthrie’s Home Being Returned to Her Family?
Savannah and Nancy Guthrie Courtesy of NBC News
On February 25, 2026, NBC News reported that Nancy Guthrie’s home, which has been treated as a crime scene since she was first reported missing, will be returned to her family.
While police haven’t revealed why they made the decision, former FBI Special Agent Bryanna Fox, who is not affiliated with the case, said on Today, “They feel like they’ve exhausted it in terms of every single piece of DNA, every piece of fiber, every single video camera.”
Questions still remain after Today show host Savannah Guthrie‘s mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the news on February 1, sharing a missing person report via X. Nancy was described as a “vulnerable adult” who was last seen “at her residence” within Arizona’s Catalina Foothills area on the evening […]
When Do Police Believe Nancy Guthrie Will Be Found?
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos acknowledged to The New York Times on February 13, 2026, that nobody truly knows when Nancy Guthrie could be found.
“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” Nanos said of the search. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”

An iconic movie moment from the ’90s is hitting the auction block … it’s the mechanical rhinoceros that gave birth to Ace Ventura in a Jim Carrey sequel.
Yes, the butt birth rhino from “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” is up for grabs over at Propstore’s upcoming auction … with the movie prop expected to fetch between $4,000 and $8,000.
It’s the same rhino from the movie scenes where Ace is inside spying on some bad guys … before escaping through the rhino’s butt in a comedic exit.
The rhino measures in at more 10 feet long from tip to tail … and it’s got hydraulic hinges, a foam tail, padded interior chair, and a removable latex backside … like the one Ace was birthed from.
Plus, the rhino has the same prop fan from the movie … IYKYK.
The mechanical safari animal is made from fiberglass, and the legs are hard-coated Styrofoam … so it seems easier to transport than a real rhino.
“Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” was a box office hit, raking in over $212 million … but it was also part of pop culture, with the rhino scene widely regarded as one of the funniest movie moments in the 1990s.
The auction starts March 27 … all righty then.
Nancy Guthrie Case
Attorney Blasts Law Enforcement
… After 2 Clients Targeted in SWAT Raid
Published
An attorney for two people targeted in raids connected to Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance is calling out law enforcement for going after his client … who he says has no involvement in the crime.
Attorney Chris Scileppi represents Luke Daley — the Arizona man who was the subject of two search warrants issued and served a couple weeks ago in connection to the Guthrie case — and, he tells TMZ he’s absolutely sure his client has no link to Nancy.
Daley and his mother were offended about being detained, Scileppi says … and their homes and vehicles were significantly damaged during the search.
Scileppi calls Nancy’s abduction a terrible crime … and, in investigating it, he says law enforcement is obligated to do so “in a manner that avoids casting aspersions on private citizens who have no connection whatsoever to the case.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has repeatedly conducted well-publicized raids, Scileppi goes on … only to let the subjects go hours later without charges — and, these actions harm private citizens who are subjected to “rampant, unsubstantiated, and callous speculation driven by the public’s hunger for information.”
Scileppi argues these raids also make investigators look as though they’ve made no progress on their investigation. He say’s Luke hopes there will be a happy ending to the ordeal … and, he hopes the next target is someone who was actually involved.
2:12AM
Scileppi tells us he still doesn’t know what information led a judge to give cops a search warrant.
As you know … Nancy was last seen on January 31. Police have been searching diligently — and, we’ve passed along alleged ransom notes to cops when we’ve received them — but, they haven’t made much progress on the case.
A delivery driver named Carlos was also detained earlier this month … but, like Luke, he was released shortly after.
We reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Dept. for comment … so far, no word back.
