Did Nancy Guthrie say she was ‘hacked’ before kidnapping? Old post resurfaces
Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared on February 1, with authorities suspecting kidnapping.
An old social media post by Nancy Guthrie has resurfaced online as investigators continue probing her disappearance, which authorities believe was a kidnapping.
According to a report by The Mirror US, the 84-year-old had once claimed that her Facebook Messenger account had been hacked, a concern she shared publicly several years before she vanished.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, disappeared in the early hours of February 1 after she was reportedly taken from her home. The investigation into her disappearance is approaching its seventh week, with authorities still working to determine what happened.
Old Facebook post raises new questions
The resurfaced message was posted on Guthrie’s personal Facebook account on August 26, 2021. In the post, she expressed concern that her messaging account had been compromised.
“This is the second time I've been hacked in FB MESSENGER. HOW DO I FIX IT?” Guthrie wrote at the time.
One of her friends responded to the message with advice, suggesting she change her Facebook password.

Active on social media before disappearance

Investigation continues
Guthrie’s final Facebook activity before she vanished reportedly came on January 27, just days before she disappeared. The post reshared a video honoring Alex Pretti at a VA Memorial Hospital following his death.
Meanwhile, Brian Entin recently criticized the FBI’s approach to part of the investigation. According to The Mirror US, Entin said authorities were “wasting” time by focusing on one of Guthrie’s concerned neighbors.
Officials have not publicly disclosed major developments in the case, and the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance remains ongoing.
