Police Give Update After Human Bones Found Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home
Police Give Update After Human Bones Found Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home
A discovery of human bones near the home of missing Arizona grandmother Nancy Guthrie sparked a surge of concern this week before authorities confirmed the remains are not connected to her disappearance.
Police responded Thursday to a desert area roughly 15 minutes east of Nancy’s Tucson residence after reports surfaced that bones had been found. The scene was quickly secured as investigators began examining the area, Parade reported.
Footage shared by reporter Michael Ruiz showed officers working behind police tape as speculation spread online that the remains could be tied to the high-profile case.
Tucson Police later confirmed the bones were human but determined they were not part of a criminal investigation. “The bone found near Craycroft and River was determined to be human,” the department said. “This will be a prehistoric anthropological investigation.”
Officials said the University of Arizona’s anthropology department and the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner assisted in the assessment. Authorities emphasized the remains are believed to be ancient and unrelated to Nancy’s case.
Nancy, 84, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, has not been seen or heard from since January 31. Investigators believe she was abducted from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1.
The case has drawn national attention as authorities continue to pursue multiple leads. Among them are blackmail messages sent to the family and media outlets demanding Bitcoin in exchange for her return.
Officials have said those messages have not been verified. Despite the family’s willingness to engage, no ransom was paid after requests for proof of life went unanswered.
Evidence recovered from Nancy’s home has added to the uncertainty surrounding the case. Investigators reported finding drops of blood on her front porch.
Her doorbell camera was also removed, with surveillance footage capturing a masked individual outside the home appearing to tamper with the device before it was taken.
Gloves were discovered nearby, though no arrests have been made, and only a limited number of individuals have been questioned.
The investigation remains active, with both local law enforcement and federal authorities involved. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that could lead to Nancy’s whereabouts.
Savannah Guthrie briefly stepped away from her role on the Today show during the early stages of the investigation but returned to air on April 6. “It’s good to be back home,” she said at the time.
Authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward as the search for Nancy moves forward, despite the latest development being ruled unrelated.
“Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie abruptly left the set of the program on Wednesday, raising eyebrows as colleague and co-host Craig Melvin explained the incident to viewers. About 90 minutes into the show, Guthrie unexpectedly left the anchor desk during the live broadcast without any explanation.
“Savannah had to leave a little early. She’ll be right back tomorrow, though,” Melvin said of his co-host, who is still dealing with the February disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, from her home in Arizona.
Savannah has shared the emotional toll the situation has taken on her and her siblings, Camron and Annie Guthrie, during an interview with former Today co-anchor Hoda Kotb in March. “We are in agony. It is unbearable,” Savannah said, describing her mother as “our shining light” and “our matriarch.”
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos responded to reports last month suggesting a new person of interest had been detained in the disappearance of Nancy.
Speculation began circulating in media reports and online posts claiming a possible detention related to the case. However, Michael Ruiz reported on X that when asked about the claims, Nanos responded with one word: “Nope,” indicating no such development occurred.
SHOWDOWN ON THE FIVE: Jessica Tarlov Drops Truth Bomb on GOP’s Controversial Voter Legislation
SHOWDOWN ON THE FIVE: Jessica Tarlov Drops Truth Bomb on GOP’s Controversial Voter Legislation
WASHINGTON — A ferocious battle over the soul of American democracy erupted on cable news this week, proving once again that the clash over election integrity is reaching a boiling point.
During a high-stakes segment on Fox News' top-rated program The Five, liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov ignited an intense firestorm by sounding the alarm on the Republican-backed SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act).
Her warning was sharp, direct, and unapologetic: This isn't just a simple Voter ID bill—it’s a bureaucratic roadblock designed to keep millions of legal Americans away from the ballot box.
"Far Beyond Voter ID": Tarlov Sounds the Alarm
While GOP proponents frame the SAVE Act as a common-sense measure to restore trust in elections, Tarlov shredded that narrative live on air, dissecting the fine print of the proposed federal mandate.
Under the bill, anyone registering to vote in federal elections would be legally required to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a physical U.S. passport, a certified birth certificate, or naturalization papers.
"People hear 'Voter ID' and think it’s just showing a driver's license at the counter," Tarlov argued. "It’s not. This bill demands physical proof of citizenship upfront. Millions of everyday, hard-working American citizens do not have a valid passport sitting in a drawer or immediate access to an official birth certificate. This creates an artificial barrier to a fundamental constitutional right." without instant paperwork access.
Integrity Guardrail or Voter Suppression? The Great Debate
The fiery television debate reflects a massive political rift tearing through Capitol Hill and statehouses across the country.
The Conservative Defense: Republican sponsors and conservative commentators insist the measure is vital to national security and sovereign elections. They argue that verifying citizenship at registration is a necessary safeguard to prevent non-citizens from ever slipping onto federal voter rolls.
The Progressive Pushback: Critics like Tarlov argue that non-citizen voting in federal elections is already illegal, strictly policed, and exceptionally rare. Opponents caution that adding heavy administrative hurdles will unintentionally disenfranchise lawful voters—particularly students, low-income citizens, rural voters, and women whose names have changed due to marriage.
The Stakes Couldn't Be Higher
As the debate over voter access versus election security intensifies, the SAVE Act has turned into a major political litmus test.
Is requiring physical proof of citizenship a mandatory protection to guarantee that every vote is lawful? Or is it an unnecessary, red-tape nightmare that punishes legal citizens for not having their paperwork in order?
One thing is certain: as long as voices like Jessica Tarlov continue to push back on prime-time television, the fight over who gets to vote—and how hard it is to do so—is far from over.
Jessica Tarlov Says Trump Has 35% Approval Rating in Most Polls
Supporters of the bill strongly disagree, saying it is designed to protect election integrity by preventing non-citizens from registering to vote. Opponents argue the existing safeguards are already sufficient and fear the measure could unintentionally disenfranchise lawful voters. Is the SAVE Act a necessary election safeguard, or does it create unnecessary barriers to voting?
Jessica Tarlov Suspended Indefinitely After Allegedly Assaulting Fox News Crew Member
Jessica Tarlov Suspended Indefinitely After Allegedly Assaulting Fox News Crew Member
NEW YORK — The set of Fox News’ hit show The Five has seen its fair share of heated shouting matches, but what went down behind the scenes this week turned a political debate into an outright crime scene.
In a shocking move that has sent shockwaves through Manhattan media circles, network executives have suspended co-host Jessica Tarlov indefinitely following an alleged physical assault on a crew member during a commercial break.
The reason for the explosive violent outburst? A camera operator made the fatal mistake of laughing out loud at one of her political talking points.
The Laugh That Triggered a Rampage
According to multiple insider accounts and studio witnesses, the situation escalated with terrifying speed. During a taped segment discussing presidential leadership, Tarlov aggressively defended President Joe Biden, passionately declaring him to be "one of the most alert and engaged presidents in American history."
While her conservative co-hosts on The Five usually counter her hot takes with eye-rolls and sharp rebuttals, it was an off-camera crew member who couldn't hold back.
A veteran camera operator reportedly chuckled out loud at the statement—a moment of candid disbelief that pushed Tarlov entirely over the edge.
"She just flew completely off the handle," one studio staffer revealed under the condition of anonymity. "Jessica has always been hyper-sensitive to pushback, but this was different. The moment she heard that laugh, her face changed. She lost control, lunged at the crew member, and turned physically aggressive. It took two floor managers to pull her off."
Fox News Responds: A Mandatory "Cooling-Off" Period
Network executives acted swiftly to control the fallout. Within hours of the incident, Tarlov was escorted from the building and informed of her immediate, indefinite suspension.
While the network hasn't closed the door permanently—noting they will consider a formal appeal at a later date—the consensus inside the building is clear: She is out for the foreseeable future.
In a internal memo, management framed the suspension as a mandatory "cooling-off period" to review safety protocols and investigate the physical altercation. However, staff members say the atmosphere on set remains deeply rattled.
Beyond Political Delusion: When Rhetoric Turns Violent
Political commentators across social media were quick to seize on the scandal. For years, Tarlov served as the resident liberal voice on The Five, regularly taking fire from a panel of staunch conservatives. But critics argue that defending the indefensible finally broke her composure.
To many viewers, claiming Biden was "sharp and alert" in 2024 or 2025 was already seen as an exercise in extreme political bias—but resorting to physical violence when called out on it marks a dangerous new low.
"This isn't just about partisan bias anymore," noted one media analyst following the story. "When a commentator becomes so consumed by political delusion that a simple chuckle triggers a physical assault, you've crossed a line from political debate into total instability."
What’s Next for The Five?
As Fox News searches for a temporary replacement to fill the liberal chair, the network faces intense scrutiny over workplace safety and on-set decorum.
Will Jessica Tarlov ever walk back onto the set of The Five, or has the "token leftist" finally burned her last bridge in cable news?
