This update is based on the sheriff being asked if the department was any closer to solving the case, to which he answered, “we are.” That’s it. Doesn’t inspire confidence.

In their defense, they’re closer now than they were the day before she was kidnapped

RecordHigh May 12, 2026 +24
Are they, though? if they never solve the crime or ultimately charge the wrong person, they'd be as far or farther from solving it today than the day she was kidnapped.

iankilledyou May 12, 2026 +20
Yeah but you’re moving the goal posts.  Person you’re replying to said “the day before she was kidnapped”.

TheAskewOne May 12, 2026 +10
I mean if it’s solved one day, every minute that passes brings us closer to that moment. What they said is true, it’s just entirely devoid of substance.

It inspires roughly the same amount of confidence that the policeman does in "The Big Lebowski" when he says they're "all working in shifts!"

What’s he going to say, “We’re not”. Stupid question by a reporter.

TJ_learns_stuff May 12, 2026 +3
Yeah. I think it’s a dumb question, but it could have been answered more effectively, no doubt. “I don’t have an update for public release, but can assure you we’re following all leads and making use of all resources in our effort to find Mrs. Guthrie.” Regardless of the answer provided to any questions related to this case, I have no confidence in the law enforcement agencies working it.

Basically. This "interview" was just a random guy approaching the Sheriff outside the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff was just talking.

Indeed, like the "we're closer than we've ever been" corporate speak about a company objective. Whether it's solved by law enforcement 10 years from now, or by visiting space aliens 1000 years from now, we're closer to that future timeline *now*, compared to when she first disappeared.

The only question is how much closer? Will they finish solving it tomorrow? Or will it sit unsolved for 30 years while still "getting closer"?
3
Spire_Citron May 12, 2026 +279
They may have a suspect. Or they might just be saying they're closer because it sounds really bad if you say you aren't. Means a whole lot of nothing, really.

Good thing no one was dumb enough to say she'd be found by a certain date. Then it'd be more like a Scott's Tots situation.

They ruled out two circus clowns and a Tupperware salesman from Kenosha so there are three less people to investigate
43
lesath_lestrange May 12, 2026 +31
I’m still suspicious about that second clown. I know his alibi was that he was in a car with 30 other clowns, but how do you fit that many clowns in that small a car?!
31
BubbleThinker May 12, 2026 +4
Someone in West Corvallis saw a clown near the convenience store acting fishy, so there might be a connection
4
Classic-Exchange-511 May 12, 2026 +27
I would assume this means they have a pretty good idea of a suspect/ perpetrators but do not have the evidence to prove it in court yet
27
LittleKitty235 May 12, 2026 +25
I'd assume it's a generic response, because "We haven't made any progress", doesn't sound good.

GGXImposter May 12, 2026 +13
If all the CSI I have watched is realistic, this is actually a psychological game they are playing. The police have no information what so ever. But by saying they are "close" the dumb criminals will screw up. The investigators will go from zero leads to knowing exactly who the criminals are. They will then put on bullet proof vests and take point on a swat raid of a rust barn in the middle of no where.
13
mothandravenstudio May 12, 2026 +14
Probably because they DO know the solution but they are waiting for final evidence to come in to make a better case. Similar to the D4VD case, of course they knew from the beginning, but they needed to tie it up with a bow to present a very, very good case to a jury. The suspect(s) will probably be someone we’ve already been introduced to in Nancy’s case.
14
WoolshirtedWolf May 12, 2026 +8
I think they do this possibly to flush out a suspect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This case has gotten way too much publicity and that kind of works against the SD, IMO.. I really thought they would've been able to do something with those pics taken off of her home camera.

PrettyCoolBear May 12, 2026 +2
The sheriff seems to just like talking to Media. I don't think they have any leads; they've been acting like they're on top of it from the start when obviously there have been no substantial benefits. (I hope I'm wrong, BTW, because if I'm right, the sheriff has just been needlessly giving the victim's family hope of some kind of resolution that may never come.)

I can't fathom families of missing persons/kidnapping going through an experience like this and having no closure. I'd absolutely lose my mind.

A friend of a friend looked for his sister for almost three years after she vanished walking to her doctors office. He led search parties, made fliers etc. She was abducted and murdered. The murderers wife (married after the abduction) eventually tipped off police because the murderer kept some of her belongings. I'm not sure I'd want to know my sibling was abducted and tortured. Not knowing might be worse though. I didn't hang out with him during that time, but he was much quieter afterwards. It's been a few years and he still doesn't seem the same.

missmeowwww May 12, 2026 +175
A friend of mine has an eerily similar story except it was her aunt that had been abducted and murdered. My friend never met her aunt as this occurred when her aunt was a teenager but the experience caused my friend’s mom (aunt was moms sister) to be very strict and constantly wanting updates as to our whereabouts as teens. When we were old enough and learned more details about what happened, it no longer seemed overbearing. I cannot imagine how that family felt.

home-like-noplace May 12, 2026 +55
I had a friend who was missing for 5 days before her body was found. The not knowing time is the worst part, every second is excruciating. Finding out she died and they found her was honestly a relief.
55
sashikku May 12, 2026 +101
Not knowing is hard when true crime stories are everywhere. I barely know a girl from my area who’s been missing for 2 years now and sometimes I ruminate over her disappearance, wondering if she’s alive and being held captive. Wondering if she was murdered the day she went missing. She’s my age and we went to school together and run in the same circles so it’s a very eerie feeling.

gooba1 May 12, 2026 +34
I'm from Iowa so Johnny Gosh is our famous long running missing child case. His mom has been a family aqquantince for years and while she's a lovely person she's definitely a bit off and my mom says she's really changed since he was abducted. Which is totally reasonable and understandable but I think if they finally found him she might get some closure instead of the constant thought he may still be out there and alive.

OperationMobocracy May 12, 2026 +12
Does missing TV anchor Jodi Huisentruit still make the news in Iowa?
12
lacontrabandida May 12, 2026 +10
I think about her now and then. I still have hope that they will find her remains so she can be laid to rest.
10
OperationMobocracy May 12, 2026 +4
That provides some closure, but it’d also be nice to know who abducted her. There was a high profile abduction and murder here In Minneapolis six months later (Anne Barber Dunlap). In that case the only real suspect was her husband and no evidence could be found to pin it on him. What creeps me out is that maybe both Jodi and Anne were abducted by the same person operating in the Midwest around the same time. The idea of roaming serial abductor/killers is pretty chilling, though this is really just my speculation and without any evidence besides the chronological proximity.
4
gooba1 May 12, 2026 +3
Yes. There was a documentary recently about her. And one of the local anchors in desmoines who I believe was close to Jodi does stories on the anniversary of when she disappeared

asimplepencil May 12, 2026 +3
My dad told me of something that happened in Oklahoma. A woman went missing and still has never been found. It's believed her family has ties to the county and city council, mayor, police, etc and so no one looked into it. It's a rural area so it's very easy to hide evidence. I hate that the family of the woman will never get closure. :(

Buried at the murder, found by dog walker, buried as John doe, then his body was dug up and stolen and later found by boys, reburied again as John doe and when he eventually got his name back after testing, buried in a family plot.

Losing a cat is hard so, yeah. I don’t know how they do it. Stronger than me I think.

SnooDogs1340 May 12, 2026 +7
Yeah not comparable but my cat disappeared one day. No signs of him. I was left with the what if and searching every day until I moved. The loss was on me though, young and no idea on how to properly take care of a cat. But I'll never forget searching and thinking every similar cat was mine.  There was a time we thought my elderly grandma was lost or abducted from the bus station. Now that gave a pain I haven't felt since.  This truly sucks and I hope there is some closure.

Prestigious-Pear627 May 12, 2026 +2
We lost a cat last summer (She was 12.) She sometimes slipped out the door. I was so thankful that we found her safe at home, laying on a bed. I would have worried myself sick if she just disappeared.

And I'm old enough to remember that the Patriot Act was written before 9/11 as sort of a Conservative Wish List to derail civil rights. It was 'written' and passed a scant six weeks after 9/11. Most of its provisions are used to filch money off of drug dealers and people here illegally by nullifying the 4th Amendment. It does nothing to protect against terrorism. It does everything to bolster police graft and corruption.

I deleted all social media like Facebook and Instagram. I don’t have TikTok or anything personal for a social media. And it’s GREAT. I live my life like an undercover agent bc nobody ever knows what I’m doing bc I don’t share it with the world. I appreciate life more this way too.

Alicewithhazeleyes May 12, 2026 +7
Ok so I feel I need to share this bc I really don’t have anyone else to share with and it really blew my mind. My boss man DELETES EVERY TEXT THREAD from his phone as soon as the conversation reaches its end point for that transaction. Every time. He keeps a fully clean text message inbox and once that thread is solved or complete or fulfilled, he deletes it! He said it keeps his mind clean and clear and helps him organize his priorities each day. We work in the funeral business so we do have constant change with in our work so he said it has helped him stay super on top of things so, I tried it. AND IT WORKS SO WELL. Such an easy change and such a HUGE difference in my daily life and tasks and responding to people. I have ADHD so out of sight out of mind is bad for me so this has become a real life hack so I wanted to share.

TrixnTim May 12, 2026 +3

Just a reminder, they can't find the mother of the interviewer who interviewed the Epstein victims when the government was hoping the 'hoax' was going to blow over.  Not finding Nancy is part of their punishment to Savannah for doing her job. F*** the Guardians of Pedophiles.

7
bbmarvelluv May 12, 2026 +4
That’s why I’ll never understand people rejecting the idea that Trump contacting Savannah and having the incompetent FBI “assist” on the case was just to taunt her. Not only did she interview the victims, people are forgetting the 2020 interview she had with Trump and she went hard on him.

Say_no_to_doritos May 12, 2026 +14
If you use a non-connected vehicle, fake or stolen plates, don't bring a phone, wear a hoodie/mask, and hide forensics it's good luck. Most PDs don't have enough time to analyze actual camera footage nevermind go try to deal with everything else. 
14
Correct-Mail-1942 May 12, 2026 +4
It also feels dystopian or something that this case is only getting this much coverage because her daughter is famous. There are hundreds of other missing persons out there - they're all someone's mom or dad or sibling or child too, but they don't get wall to wall coverage.
4
wip30ut May 12, 2026 +4
... but also realize that these kidnappers are pros. They targeted Nancy Guthrie specifically because her residence was isolated, dark & insecure. And they scouted the location beforehand to check for private security monitors/patrols & c***. They turned off all their cell devices, used wifi jammers & disguised their license plate info. Moreover, there's some suggestions that they could be tied to Mexican or Central American mobs that regularly kidnap for ransom. If so their chats & social media are harder to trace because Latin nations use different messaging apps & their data isn't as scrutinized & dissected by algorithms as US/EU/Canadian users.

sharrrper May 12, 2026 +9
But they tracked every step of the guy who shot the United Healthcare CEO from the moment he entered the city until he left. Seems like they can do it if a multimillionaire CEO gets killed.

I mean to be fair one took place in the middle of a major city while the other took place in a suburb in the desert.

AdCreepy5165 May 12, 2026 +4
Until I see the evidence presented at trial, I refuse to believe they actually caught that guys killer. I think they just found a nutter who was running his mouth. Noticed the whole affair left mass media rather quickly after he was caught.
4
sharrrper May 12, 2026 +8
Just to be clear: I'm not saying the guy they arrested is or isn’t the killer, but they did definitely track every step of the killer's (whoever that was) movements the entire time they were in the city by piecing together various camera footage from before and after the shooting.

yourlittlebirdie May 12, 2026 +14
But you’ve heard of the case, that’s the point. Millions and millions of people have heard about this happening, have seen the photos of the guy, and yet no one has identified him or come forward with any information.
14
froggertwenty May 12, 2026 +16
They had video of the guy in the Delphi murders as well. Not as well known but massive news in the local and state level, and got national attention. They had nothing for over 5 years. The guy lived right down the street from where it happened, sat at the bar next to the sketches of the suspect. And there's still debate over whether he actually did it.
16
yourlittlebirdie May 12, 2026 +7
That case was wild. People who knew him definitely would have recognized him. And didn’t someone actually tip off the police early in the investigation but they screwed up and accidentally ignored it?
7
froggertwenty May 12, 2026 +5
That's part of what doesn't make sense. He is abnormally short for a man. None of the witnesses described the man they saw as short and he doesn't appear that short in the video. The FBI did a height analysis on the video but....it was never disclosed what that analysis showed. The description on the FBI website had a much higher height range than what the guy convicted of it actually was. They removed that description after the arrest. He was never tipped in. He went to the police to tell them he was on the trails that day, before the murders, and the officer wrote his name down wrong and they filed him as cleared.
5
DisastrousDiddling May 12, 2026 +3
He was smarter than that, he went to the DNR not the police. Enough to be able to tell others truthfully he checked in with the law, but he got the breakdown in communication between departments that he was counting on.
3

Not exactly. He didn't specifically go to the DNR, the police just happened to assign the DNR guy to interview him, because all the agencies were helping. There was no scheming involved on his end. The DNR guy also filed the tip just the same as the local agency, but it was filed as cleared by the local pd. There was no breakdown between agencies.

We don’t know what they know. There are numerous valid reasons for them to withhold information from the public.

When asked if they were close to solving the case, Nanos replied, “We are,” without elaborating. Yea he didn’t elaborate, because they still don’t have a f’ing clue.

It’s an ongoing investigation, it does take time to build a case that won’t fall apart at trial. I think you can look at the D4VD case where everyone was shocked that he was allowed to be walking around free for as long as he was. Now we are learning some of the horrid details as the case and trial are starting to unfold. Celeste’s body was found in September he wasn’t charged and arrested until February. I know our perceptions of law enforcement has been shaped recently by the DOJ, but this is what it takes to build a case especially one as high profile like this that will be scrutinized.

But Celeste's body *was* found. If Nancy was found I don't think they'd have kept it secret this long

slurv3 May 12, 2026 +4
There are cases where the body is never found, but they have enough overwhelming circumstantial evidence to suggest someone has something to do with the disappearance and charge them. They usually try to leverage it into a plea deal to locate the body, but there are cases where families can get justice, but not closure because they won’t reveal the location of the body. My point with the Celeste and D4VD case is that work is likely being done to build the case that we aren’t aware of and even then it still took time to charge and arrest him and they had a body to work with.

Much like the Moscow, Idaho murders, when the cops get quiet, it's a sign they're homing in on someone. So, the fact he said this... means they've got nothing, or he wouldn't have said anything.

If you’ve still got a suspect/person of interest you’re looking at and trying to gather more evidence against them or still investigating them then I wouldn’t give out names or details either.

I live in Tucson and have always liked Sheriff Nanos. But this case has shown he's clearly out of his depth. The man doesn't know when to shut up. I don't think the result would be any different if we had a different sheriff but he keeps stoking the flames when most times his answer should have been 'no comment'. In the future, PR experts will be teaching this case as an example of what not to do if you want to give people the impression you have everything under control.

Gotta stop publishing cop quotes like they’re news. This guy doesn’t have any more information than he has two weeks ago or we’d know it because there would be a celebratory press conference to pat themselves on the back.

While I never pay any real attention to anything labeled Fox News, I do think it’s really important to see Nancy Guthrie’s name and abduction mentioned in the news. Not only because it reminds the public about her, it puts pressure on someone who knows something to give it up. Because I don’t believe only one person was involved in this.

If the cops all line up at arms length forming a human chain, eventually that chain will come in contact with the kidnappers.

In 2014 with just some random photos, people tracked down the Russian vehicle that shot down airliner MH17 Now with every home having a ring camera let alone city traffic c***, and local businesses I’m sure as hell that kidnappers car would be tracked for miles let alone getting a plate number. But no…we got the AZ sheriff who probably stands around and uses hand sanitizer like the TX officers in that horrible tragedy at the school

Either give the public evidence or a suspect. If you can’t do either one of those things, then keep your mouth silent - stop giving people false hope! 😡 It’s especially cruel to do that to the victims’ families!

She’s not getting nearly as much investigation as you’d think. That’s why ~~her remains~~ she hasn’t been located yet

ColoradoNative719 May 12, 2026 +2
This is true. Realistically she was very likely deceased after 48 hours. That said this is more attention than any woman from a reservation would get upon disappearance and this is why I point this out.
