TUCSON, Ariz. — An internet user may have searched for Nancy Guthrie’s home address in the weeks prior to her suspected abduction, data from Google Trends observed by Fox News Digital appears to show.
She is the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing for 18 days since she was taken in a suspected kidnapping from her home in Tucson, Arizona.
Last week, the FBI released a description of the individual seen in the 84-year-old’s doorbell camera footage on Feb. 1, describing him as a man approximately 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall who was wearing a 25-liter Ozark Trail brand backpack and other identifying items.
NANCY GUTHRIE DISAPPEARANCE: SHERIFF PLEADS WITH SUSPECT TO ‘JUST LET HER GO,’ INSISTS CASE NOT COLD
As the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI continue work on the case, Fox News Digital was able to recreate Google Trends reports that appear to show searches for Nancy’s address and Savannah’s salary occurred before her disappearance.
They show there may have been activity for Guthrie’s address in the Catalina Foothills between June 21 and 28, 2025, originating in Arizona. The address may have seen activity again on Jan. 11, 2026.
The Jan. 11 date also surfaced in a message on the Ring camera app posted on Feb. 12, asking neighbors to share video from between 9 p.m. and midnight that day, as well as on the evening of Jan. 31, when Guthrie was last accounted for.
A PCSD captain replied to the post asking users to look for verified posts from the department when submitting tips. Officially, investigators are seeking home security video recorded within two miles of Guthrie’s home between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2.
“The Ring post… did not come from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. It was posted by a neighbor,” a sheriff’s spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “PCSD sent out a request via the Neighbors app asking for video from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2.”
No suspects have been publicly identified, but investigators have detained several people and released them without charges, including a delivery driver from Rio Rico who told Fox News he worked in Tucson but didn’t know if he’d delivered a package to the missing woman’s home.

There also may have been separate Google image searches for Nancy’s address in Arizona sometime between March 1 and 8, 2025, and Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2025, specifically looking for images or a map of the home.
In addition to the address, in the days leading up to Nancy’s disappearance, “Savannah Guthrie salary” may have been searched from Tucson sometime between Dec. 13 and 20, 2025.
For comparison, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who grew up in New York City, may have generated searches for “Anderson Cooper salary” in the NYC area between March 29 and April 5, 2025. Fox News’ Sean Hannity also grew up in New York, and “Sean Hannity salary” may have also been searched between May 3 and 10, 2025.
“Google Trends is designed for understanding trends in large datasets. For topics with low or no searches, a Google Trends chart will often mix in random noise to protect people’s privacy. That means that a Google Trends chart showing a spike for an uncommon topic is not definitive evidence that a search actually happened,” a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
A source familiar also told Fox News Digital that law enforcement would use investigative tools like subpoenas, not publicly available marketing information.
