BREAKING: The Month-Long Hunt for Savannah Guthrie’s Mom OVER After Body is Found in Phoenix Canal - The Sheriff Breaks Silence! 💔😱
Authorities are addressing new questions after a body was discovered in a Phoenix canal, as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues. The sheriff’s department confirmed it is aware of the discovery and is working to determine whether the case is connected in any way to the disappearance of Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1.
“Details on the call indicated that an adult female was on the nearby canal bank and was unresponsive,” read a statement posted by authorities in Maricopa County. “When officers arrived, they located the woman, who was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene.”
The news prompted widespread speculation that the deceased may have been Nancy, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said that the incident is not related.
“PCSD says it has not been advised of any law enforcement activity at the canal in Phoenix this morning being connected to the Nancy Guthrie case,” Fox News Digital’s Michael Ruiz wrote on X.
For reference, it’s about 120 miles from Phoenix to the Catalina Foothills—where Nancy lives.
Authorities believe that Nancy may have been abducted from her home in the middle of the the night. Despite receiving thousands of tips, no leads have led to an arrest and Nancy’s whereabouts are still unknown.

A woman was found dead alongside a canal in Phoenix, Arizona — but authorities in Pima County, Arizona, said they haven’t received any word that the case is related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.
On Saturday, March 7, police in Phoenix said they were investigating the death of a woman found on a canal in the city, according to Fox 10 Phoenix. They were called to the area of 27th Place and Grand Canal Trail around 7:40 a.m. local time that morning.
“Details on the call indicated that an adult female was on the nearby canal bank and was unresponsive,” a police statement says. “When officers arrived, they located the woman, who was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene.”
Further details, including the identity of the woman, have not been released.
Fox News Digital reporter Michael Ruiz shared on X later that day that Pima County authorities haven’t been informed of any link between that case and Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. “[The Pima County Sheriff’s Department] says it has not been advised of any law enforcement activity at the canal in Phoenix this morning being connected to the Nancy Guthrie case,” Ruiz wrote.
Nancy was reported missing from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, and surveillance footage recovered from the home shows an armed individual tampering with a camera at her front door, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X on February 10.

On Friday, March 6, NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported the FBI was looking into a possible internet outage the night Nancy went missing and that one neighbor’s Ring camera history from that night was mysteriously unavailable.
In the past five weeks, Savannah and her siblings have posted multiple videos asking for the public’s help in Nancy’s safe return and sending messages to their mother’s possible abductors.
And on Friday, Savannah visited the Today studio in New York City to thank her colleagues for their support. “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she said. “I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’”

'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
