More than 100 days after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home, the case is still reaching new audiences - including one of the most-followed women in the world.

On the May 13 episode of her podcast Khloé In Wonder Land, reality star and true crime enthusiast Khloé Kardashian opened up about her ongoing fixation with the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie - telling listeners she simply cannot make sense of how a case this high-profile has gone unsolved for so long.

"Nancy Guthrie. I mean, is that not heartbreaking?" Kardashian said during the episode, recorded alongside Crime Junkie podcast host Ashley Flowers, who has covered the case extensively and has worked alongside law enforcement on cold cases. "I'm just like - this is 2026. There is nothing? That is mind-blowing."

 

What Khloé Said

Kardashian, who has been vocal about her love of true crime, expressed the frustration shared by millions of people who have followed the case since Nancy was reported missing on February 1.

She acknowledged the publicly debunked theory that had briefly circulated online regarding Savannah's brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni - while being careful to note she had only read about it and wasn't drawing conclusions. Authorities cleared the entire Guthrie family, including Cioni, in the earliest days of the investigation. Law enforcement confirmed the family has been "100% cooperative."

Kardashian also raised questions about the multiple ransom notes that were sent to media outlets early in the case. "How weird was that?" she asked.

Her co-host Flowers offered important context: withholding investigative details from the public is standard practice in active abduction cases and has nothing to do with lack of progress. "I've worked with law enforcement, we're working with families," Flowers said, "and it is wild how they are going through the most traumatic experience of their life - there's no resolution."

Where the Case Stands

As of this week, the investigation has passed 100 days with no arrest made publicly. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos reaffirmed to local station KOLD that the case remains fully active and that he believes an arrest will come.

"I believe, at some point in time, we will make an arrest on this case," Nanos said. "We're not going to give up on it just because it's been 100 days."

DNA evidence recovered from Nancy's home - including a hair sample - has been transferred to the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia for analysis. A combined reward of $1.2 million is still being offered for information leading to her recovery.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen the evening of January 31 when a family member dropped her off at her Catalina Foothills home after dinner. FBI doorbell footage released in February showed a masked, armed individual at her front door. She has not been seen since.

Still Praying

Nancy Guthrie was a woman of deep faith. She taught Bible study classes in Tucson and was known among those who loved her for the strength of her belief. Her daughter Savannah has leaned publicly on that same faith - telling Today viewers when she returned to the broadcast in April: "We feel your prayers."

Those prayers have not stopped. And neither has the search.
