In a recent development regarding Nancy Guthrie's missing person case, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie alerted authorities to the presence of controversial YouTuber Alex Zabel. Zabel was allegedly livestreaming outside the Arizona home where Nancy, Savannah's mother, disappeared in February 2026.
Police records from June 11, 2026, show Savannah Guthrie contacted law enforcement, expressing distress over Zabel's return to the neighborhood. She has voiced ongoing concerns about online true-crime creators congregating at the property, which has led to Zabel's previous arrests for public disturbance.
Meanwhile, former FBI Special Agent Maureen O'Connell suggested that the investigation is making progress. She believes investigators may be close to identifying a "porch guy" seen on surveillance footage during Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, emphasizing that long investigations often signify careful case building.
Adding to the complexity, conflicting reports have emerged regarding ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie's case. Initial reports suggested investigators found two authentic notes, one demanding Bitcoin and stating Nancy was "safe but scared," while another implied her death and requested payment for her remains' location.
