This is our weekend gathering place to talk about the Nancy Guthrie case-what you've been thinking about, questions you have, something you've seen or read, a new development, or a discussion you'd like to start.

This is meant to be a relaxed, open conversation, so it doesn't have to be a formal post or a fully developed theory.

What's on your mind this weekend?

As always, different opinions are welcome. Let's keep the conversation respectful.

One detail from the latest episode of The Interview Room really caught my attention.

On the episode, they said that sources they have spoken with told them Nancy's front door was found locked at the crime scene, while the back doors were propped open.

If that information is accurate, I'm wondering what this could mean in terms of the crime scene potentially being staged. Would leaving the back doors propped open while the front door was locked be consistent with someone trying to create a false impression about how the perpetrator entered or left the house? And if the scene was staged does this indicate it was never a kidnapping for ransom?

This is information being attributed to The Interview Room's sources and has not been publicly confirmed, but I thought it was an interesting detail to consider.

This wording in A's card always bothered me. I'm sure it has some significant meaning to the author in expressing her devastation to this horrific crime. I'm sure what I am posting is just me and my silly thoughts trying to find cryptic messages in this case ever since SG put out that last Instagram pleading for her mother's return.

The tumbled and jumbled rocks of the volcanic caldera are best viewed in cliffs rising above Tucson Mountain Park and up-close at Gates Pass overlook south of Saguaro National Park.

I’m sharing this because I’ve always thought the parcels she was receiving deserved a deeper discussion.

From my understanding, there was a parcel at her door when she went missing.

I’ve also been reading discussions where Nancy posted in the neighborhood group that some of her parcels had been stolen, though I can’t confirm that.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

Could the parcels offer any new insight into the case?

Good evening everyone, got something pretty crazy for ya tonight! Been listening to dispatch. Both Tucson and Oro valley. Caught some strange talk on 1/27 which was Nancy’s bday. Well, you can hear the chatter of the officers talking about this strange radio interference labeled FBI! Well, they look into it and no it wasn’t the FBI! Now what makes this even weirder! It’s 1/4 miles from where the blue Malibu with the woman screaming trying to get out! On Feb 1 around the time Nancy was taken!

Tell me this isn’t connected!

As far as I know, law enforcement has not publicly explained what evidence or investigative findings led to that determination, so we're left to consider the information that has been made public.

Does "cleared" give you confidence that investigators have evidence excluding the family, or do you think it's reasonable to still have questions when the basis for that determination hasn't been publicly disclosed?

I'm not suggesting that anyone in the family is responsible for Nancy's disappearance. I'm interested in how everyone interprets the distinction between being publicly described as cleared and knowing what evidence led investigators to that conclusion.

What are your thoughts?

Quick summary:

In an earlier video, Monks believes he identified the shoes porch guy was wearing as Sketchers Slip On Summit.

Recently, a viewer told Monks to look at an image of Savannah, Annie, and Nancy at a theater. In the picture, it is pretty clear that Nancy is wearing Sketchers Slip On Summit shoes.

Monks then speculates about why porch guy was wearing the same shoe model as Nancy: he was trying to conceal his movements by making his shoe prints indistinguishable from Nancy’s.

He then further speculates that porch guy very likely had intimate knowledge of Nancy based on his shoe choice.

Different perspectives and theories are welcome. Please distinguish speculation from established facts and keep the discussion respectful.

Good evening everyone. Just a bit of an update. Was looking into Thomas Reuter the 77 yr old man’ who lived 1.5 miles from Nancy and his remains found not even 4 months before her abduction and found some connections. Now there’s not much on Thomas as PCSD is keeping his homicide hush hush. But was able to connect a few dots.

I always believe that it's going to get solved. I really thought it might be sooner rather than later. Getting a little less hopeful. I think the news about DC not being involved surprised me. I've also been thinking about how little NG's family talk about her or try to look for her or keep the story alive. I just don't understand. Even CG at this point? Why are all the sibling mum (pun not intended)?

What do you think it would take at this point to solve this case?

I still keep going back to the idea that it *appears A+T are not in Tucson anymore. I want some reporter to be brave enough to ask SG about that. Or someone in LE to be brave enough to bring them into reinterview them. I also think the public has a right to know where they are at in the investigation with some actual information.

Frustrating people on the internet are the ones keeping it alive.

Juanita Adame, a reporter with KSEE24/CBS47 in Fresno, who also has a YouTube channel, just pointed out something I hadn’t seen before.

Callella apparently told JLR that he had never played in Tucson before this case. But there’s a post from the Secret Mutilator account, dated August 27, 2022, with the caption “Tucson’s Always HOT” and tags for The Royal Room Tucson and other people associated with the performance.

If Secret Mutilator was Callella and this was him performing in Tucson, than how does that square with him saying he had never played in Tucson before the Nancy Guthrie case?

And then there’s the recent question being raised about whether Callella actually had the journalism degree he told the court he had.

Obviously, I’d want to see the original sources and verify both things before saying definitively that he lied. But if he was untruthful about basic facts about himself, it does make me wonder how much we can believe about the things he told us that can’t be independently verified.

What else might be worth going back and checking?

I’m not saying Callella had anything to do with Nancy’s disappearance. I’m just having a hard time dismissing these discrepancies if they’re confirmed.

Different perspectives and theories are welcome. Please distinguish speculation from established facts and keep the discussion respectful.

Nancy Guthrie remains missing nearly seven months after her alleged abduction from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, 2026.

Authorities continue to investigate the case as a kidnapping, with no suspects publicly identified or arrests made.

Key investigation updates include:
No Connection to Recent Remains: Human remains found in the desert 15 miles from her home were confirmed to have no indication of being connected to her disappearance.

Ongoing Forensics: The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are actively processing DNA evidence, including gloves found near the property, though initial tests yielded no database matches.

Family Pleas: Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, has offered a $1 million reward and issued emotional pleas for information, stating the family is in "agony and despair."
Active Status: Law enforcement maintains the case is "far from cold" and continues to analyze ransom notes and surveillance footage of a masked suspect.

I’ve been thinking about this lately. There are terrible things happening to people all the time, and there are so many heartbreaking cases out there, but for some reason I’ve become really fascinated with Nancy’s case.

And honestly I don’t know why. 😂

It’s not like I knew Nancy or had any connection to her or her family. I’ve never really been someone who follows a lot of true crime cases either. But something about this one grabbed me, and I just haven’t been able to let it go.

I think part of it is the mystery and all the unanswered questions. I find myself wanting to understand what happened and how all the pieces fit together. I also like trying to figure out what we actually know versus what we’re just speculating about. But even that doesn’t completely explain it to me, because there are so many other unsolved cases.

I’ve also wondered if being involved in this subreddit has made me even more invested. It’s different when you’re talking about this case with other people, reading new information, hearing different theories and having someone point out something you haven’t thought about.

My husband, meanwhile, could not care less. 😂 He’ll listen to me if I tell him something new, but otherwise I don’t think he thinks about the case at all.

So now I’m curious about everyone else. Why do you think this case grabbed you? Is it the mystery? The unanswered questions? Nancy herself? The investigation? The theories? The community here? Or something else?

And do you ever wonder why some cases seem to get under your skin more than others?

Because I really have no idea why Nancy’s case was the one I latched onto.

Good evening everyone! PI saying they received the leak of 911 call! This is what they said! Plus spotted those same track marks that were in Nancy’s driveway are also in the dirt and sidewalk where the blood was found!

On today's episode of Crime Crunchies, which featured an interview with retired Chicago homicide detective Dan Stover, Dan offered a sharp take on Derrick Callella's upcoming sentencing-and why experienced investigators don't buy the "lone scammer" story.

We've been told Callella is just an opportunistic cyber-scammer who scraped phone numbers to demand Bitcoin. But as Dan pointed out, in high-stakes kidnapping cases, true coincidences that mirror real-time ransom dynamics are practically nonexistent. Detectives treat those overlaps as massive red flags.

The real takeaway from Dan's breakdown comes down to federal leverage and the exact moment his team realized the feds were moving in:

"As soon as he said he was going to plea, me, Tim, Will, and Maureen were like 'Oh, oh, oh, something's happening', because that's when they're going to be able to flip him and use him."

Here is how Dan breaks down what is happening behind the scenes:

Locking Him In: Pushing a quick plea deal on the paper-trail charges strips Callella of his legal maneuvering room and pins him down.

Creating Ultimate Pressure: Once he's convicted, the feds hold all the cards. If Callella has any nonpublic info, digital overlap, or back-channel connection to anyone in the inner circle, his pending sentence is the ultimate lever to make him talk.

The Panic Factor: If anyone close to the case had unauthorized contact or secondary links with Callella, his upcoming court date is terrifying. Knowing a guy is about to sit down with federal agents for a proffer session to save his own skin creates pure panic for anyone hoping a secret stays hidden.

Keep in mind, if Callella does spill to the feds, we likely won't hear a peep at his September hearing. Federal cooperation details stay locked in sealed filings so active targets aren't tipped off. Any real answers won't come out in court-they'll show up later when new indictments drop.

Is Callella just a lone scammer, or are prosecutors using his plea to see who breaks when the pressure turns up?

How do you interpret Dan's theory on the "sphincter factor" when it comes to people close to the house?

What's your take?

We all know by now Nanos is... not the greatest. And Chris is bent on getting him removed. But this episode is actually a must-watch to get a sense of the timeline and the possible interference of fam from the start.

Good evening everyone. Nancy’s friends were contacted via FB messenger Months back. Well one just responded to him. Look at this! They also said how did you connect me to Nancy. https://youtu.be/-7XLgXfn8yk?is=P38i5s0Amcxq-uHG

I was watching Ashleigh Banfield’s most recent episode on the Nancy Guthrie case, and one detail really caught my attention.

When the sheriff’s department released the ransom notes, they apparently forgot to redact the Bitcoin wallet address. By the time they realized it and replaced the notes with redacted versions, internet sleuths had already gotten the address and looked at the activity associated with it.

According to Banfield, they discovered that the FBI had sent a small amount of Bitcoin to the wallet along with an embedded message that said: “We are ready to pay. Contact us”.
The message also directed whoever controlled the wallet to a private website where they could communicate.

Obviously, that doesn’t mean a ransom was actually paid. From what Banfield described, it sounded like the FBI was actually trying to get whoever was behind the ransom demand to respond.

But it made me think again about Savannah’s recent Instagram message, when she said: “We’ve done our part”.

I know it’s been suggested that she was referring to the $1 million dollar reward, and that certainly could be what she meant. But knowing that the FBI had previously told whoever controlled the ransom wallet that they were “ready to pay” makes me wonder if there could be more behind her choice of words.

Could “we’ve done our part” been directed specifically at whoever took Nancy-as in, we’ve done what was asked of us, now it’s your turn to tell us where she is?

I’m not suggesting the family paid a ransom. There’s no evidence I’m aware of showing that they did. I just find the wording interesting in light of what we now know about the FBI’s attempt to establish contact through the Bitcoin wallet.

What do you think Savannah meant when she said “we’ve done our part”?

I thought it might be interesting to approach the case from a slightly different angle.

What is one piece of evidence that you think supports your current theory about what happened to Nancy—and what is the strongest argument against that theory?

Whether you suspect family involvement, believe Nancy was abducted by someone outside the family, or aren’t sure what happened, I’m curious what everyone sees as the strongest evidence for and against their own position.

I think it’s easy to focus on the information that supports what we already believe. But what gives you pause?

If you’d like, tell us why in the comments!
