Guthrie family issues message to potential kidnappers: 'We want to talk to you'

The article reports on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman from Tucson, Arizona, and her family's efforts to find her. Guthrie was last seen on February 4, 2026, when she went for a walk in her neighborhood. Her husband reported her missing after he couldn't reach her by phone or find her at home.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department is leading the investigation into Guthrie's disappearance, with assistance from the FBI. The sheriff has stated that Guthrie's health is fragile and that she requires medication to survive, which could be fatal if she doesn't receive it within 24 hours.

Guthrie's family, including her daughter Savannah Guthrie, a journalist and television host, have released a video message pleading with her mother's kidnappers to contact them. The family has also set up a reward fund for information leading to Guthrie's safe return.

The FBI is investigating the disappearance and has arrested one suspect, Derrick Callella, who allegedly sent threatening messages to Guthrie's family demanding ransom in exchange for her safe return. However, it appears that Callella was not involved in the actual kidnapping and was instead trying to extort money from the family.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information about Guthrie's disappearance to come forward.
 
omg can't believe this ๐Ÿ˜ฑ what if she never gets found tho? it's so sad that her family is going through this. i feel bad for savannah guthrie too, she must be super worried sick about her mom ๐Ÿ’” anyway, the fact that they arrested someone trying to extort money from them is kinda messed up ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ but let's hope they can find nancy before it's too late โฐ i wish there was more info on what really happened tho, maybe then we can get a better idea of what's going on ๐Ÿ“
 
I CANT BELIEVE WHATS HAPPENING TO NANCY GUTHRIE!!! SHE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND HER NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW SHE VANISHED! IT MUST BE SO SCARY FOR HER FAMILY ESPECIALLY WITH HER F Fragile HEALTH!!! I HOPE THE POLICE FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN HELP THEM BRING HER HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE DERRICK CALLELLA WAS JUST A POOR GUY TRYING TO MAKE SOME MONEY BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE IT OKAY!!! ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿšจ
 
this whole thing is just so messed up ๐Ÿคฏ... i mean, what's with all these crazy people out there? nancy guthrie was just a sweet old lady trying to get some fresh air, and now she's missing ๐ŸŒƒ... i feel bad for her family, especially savannah, who must be going through the wringer right now ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. it's just not fair that they're having to deal with all this stress and uncertainty.

and then you've got this guy callella, who's trying to make a buck off of someone else's suffering... i don't get why people do that ๐Ÿค‘. is it really worth risking your freedom for some quick cash? i don't think so ๐Ÿ’ธ... anyway, i just hope nancy guthrie turns up safe and sound soon ๐Ÿ™... her family deserves nothing but the best โค๏ธ
 
Man this case is getting so confusing ๐Ÿ˜• Derrick Callella being arrested just to get ransom demands out of Savannah Guthrie? That doesn't seem right at all. Like why would someone in a kidnapping situation reach out to the family like that? It's either a clever ruse or some messed up person trying to make an easy buck. The sheriff's department is doing their thing, but I feel for Nancy Guthrie's family... 84 and struggling already, and now this on top of it ๐Ÿค•
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I'm so worried about Nancy Guthrie! 84 is old age, you know? She must be freaking out and scared ๐Ÿค•. The FBI arresting this guy Derrick Callella is a good move tho ๐Ÿ‘. He was trying to extort money from her family, that's not cool at all ๐Ÿ˜’.

I'm also thinking, what if someone just saw her walking alone on that February 4th? Maybe they didn't think much of it because she's elderly ๐Ÿค”. We should be keeping an eye out for any surveillance footage that might help find Nancy ๐Ÿ‘€.

And omg Savannah Guthrie is her daughter, can you imagine being in her shoes ๐Ÿ˜ญ? I'm sure this is super hard on her and the rest of the family ๐Ÿค—. We gotta keep spreading awareness about finding Nancy! ๐Ÿ’ก
 
I'm so over this whole thing... like, what even is the point of finding Nancy? She's 84, for crying out loud! Her life was already over, right? I mean, I know her family and all are freaking out, but can't they just let her go? Like, she's not hurting anyone. And what's with this obsession with finding her? Is it really worth risking people's lives to find some old lady who's probably just going to end up back at home anyway... ๐Ÿ˜’
 
๐Ÿ˜ž another grandma gone missin... 84 years old, what's the point? they're just gonna keep her comatose in some dark place for ransom... ๐Ÿคฏ Savannah Guthrie, her daughter, is cryin' out on tv, beggin' the kidnappin' scumbags to give her mom back... meanwhile, FBI finds some random dude tryin' to extort money from 'em... 24 hours of meds without it and she's a goner... ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜“
 
omg what a crazy situation ๐Ÿคฏ her husband is literally freaking out because she didn't respond to his calls like 24 hours after he last spoke to her... that medication thingy sounds super serious tho ๐Ÿ’‰ anyway i hope they find nancy soon cuz this whole thing is giving me major anxiety ๐Ÿ˜ฌ and savannah's involvement in the case is wild, daughter of a news anchor and she's all out here trying to help her mom ๐Ÿ“ฐ๐Ÿ’•
 
๐Ÿค• The whole thing is so suspicious ๐Ÿค”. I mean, an 84-year-old woman just disappears on her own and someone shows up trying to extort money from the family? It doesn't add up ๐Ÿค‘. And what if Callella wasn't even involved in the kidnapping? That's like throwing a person at the wall to see what sticks ๐Ÿ’ฅ. The FBI is doing their thing, but I'm still holding onto the feeling that something fishy is going on here ๐ŸŸ. Savannah Guthrie's message pleading with her mom's kidnappers is really emotional and sad ๐Ÿ˜”. Can't they just find out what happened to Nancy already? This whole situation is giving me anxiety ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
Ugh ๐Ÿค• this is getting so dark... an 84-yr-old grandma just goes for a walk and poof she's gone ๐Ÿ˜ฑ her family is devastated & the police gotta play detective ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ meanwhile, some psycho (Derrick Callella) tries to extort ransom from them, but was actually just trying to cover his own tracks ๐Ÿคฅ this whole thing is super confusing ๐Ÿ™„ what if this poor grandma is still out there somewhere? ๐Ÿคž her family deserves so much justice ๐Ÿ’”
 
๐Ÿ™ This whole thing just feels so wrong - I mean, an 84-year-old woman just goes for a walk and then disappears? It's like she vanished into thin air! And that her own daughter is a journalist now... I'm pretty sure it must be super tough for Savannah to deal with this. ๐Ÿ˜” Can we talk about how the reward fund might help, but also like, what if the kidnappers just want money and don't actually care about Nancy? ๐Ÿค‘ Does anyone know anything about Nancy's health issues or what kind of medication she needs? I feel like that info could be super helpful in finding her. ๐Ÿ’Š
 
OMG, like, have you seen the stats on missing person cases? ๐Ÿคฏ According to the National Crime Information Center, in 2024, there were over 400k reported missing persons cases in the US alone... and only like, 25% of them get resolved within a year ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ. And 2/3 of those involve an elderly person, which is crazy ๐Ÿ˜ฒ.

And can we talk about how fast the internet is being used to help find Nancy? Like, her family just dropped that video message and it's already getting like, 1k+ shares in 24 hours ๐Ÿ“ˆ! Social media is honestly a game-changer for cases like this. ๐Ÿ’ป

But seriously, have you seen the FBI's cold case clearance rates? Like, only about 5% of cases are closed within a year... which means most people just get lost forever ๐Ÿšซ. It's wild to think that Nancy could've been gone for months without anyone even noticing her was missing.

Anyway, I just hope they catch whoever did this and bring them to justice ASAP ๐Ÿ’ช!
 
omg this is so crazy i mean what if she got taken by a family member or a friend who knows her meds schedule like what if that's the reason why they're not reaching out? we gotta be careful not to jump to conclusions here, it's like they say "innocent until proven guilty". btw has anyone seen this woman's neighborhood pics? maybe someone saw something suspicious on those walks of hers
 
I'm getting really worried about Nancy Guthrie... I mean, 84 is old enough to be a grandma, you know? ๐Ÿ˜• If this was me, I'd want my family to find me ASAP too! ๐Ÿšจ My heart goes out to her family, especially Savannah - poor thing must be going mental not knowing what's happening to her mum ๐Ÿ’”. The sheriff's warning about the medication is really serious, 24 hours can be a long time... ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ And that video message from the family, it's like they're begging for someone to come forward... ๐Ÿคž Can't say I blame them, I'd want everyone to help get their loved one back too! ๐Ÿ‘Š
 
man this is so sad what happened to nancy guthrie she was just a normal grandma who went for a walk and then poof she's gone her family is really worried and the police are trying their best but it's hard when you don't know where she is or if she's even still alive ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜•. I feel bad for savannah too, her mom is like a superhero in real life, always working hard and then this happens... anyway, I hope they find out what happened to nancy soon and that she's safe and sound wherever she is ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™.
 
๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ This is getting good. An 84-year-old woman gets kidnapped, her husband can't even reach her by phone because she's probably just out for a walk and got lost, and suddenly there's a ransom demand from some random guy who was just trying to scam the family? Like, what's next? ๐Ÿค‘ I mean, I'm all for finding Nancy Guthrie, but can we please get some actual leads rather than a sketchy individual who was probably just trying to make a quick buck? ๐Ÿ˜’
 
man i'm still trying to wrap my head around this... 84 year old woman just disappears for no reason ๐Ÿคฏ like what's the point of even kidnapping her? she's got nothin left to lose at that age ๐Ÿ˜” and now her family is goin through all this stress over a possible ransom demand... it's just not right, you know? ๐Ÿค• and then they arrest some dude who was tryin to extort money from them but wasn't even involved in the actual kidnapping... what a mess ๐ŸŒช๏ธ. i feel bad for savannah guthrie, her mum's been missin for like 2 months now, that's some crazy stuff...
