In the days leading up to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, neighbors reportedly noticed unusual activity in the area, prompting one of them to inform the authorities.
Brett McIntire, who lives across the street from Nancy, told The New York Post on Thursday that a suspicious white van was parked on their street. The concerned resident reported seeing the unfamiliar vehicle to the police and was asked questions about what he observed.
“It was somewhere on that street,” he told the outlet. “It was a white van, full-sized, with no printing on the sides. It was parked on the street.”

McIntire added that the white van being unmarked made it even more suspicious.
“Normally, people that are coming to work on your home will have a company vehicle or if they’re independent something written on it,” Nancy’s neighbor pointed out.
Moving forward, McIntire said he plans to be more vigilant. “From now on, when I’m going out and about, I’ll have a paper and pen and record anything unusual,” he added.
Meanwhile, his wife, Lisa McIntire, said they are now considering getting security cameras following the abduction of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
The McIntires couldn’t recall the exact day they spotted the van, but confirmed that they had reported it to police.
Nancy Guthrie’s Neighborhood Considered Safe By Locals
Nancy’s neighbors in the leafy Arizona suburb consider it so safe that streetlights aren’t even deemed necessary.
Catalina Foothills Association President Tom Pugh told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that he has never heard of any crime of this magnitude in the area before.
“In the 50 years I’ve lived here, I’ve never heard of any crime like this,” he pointed out. “It’s a friendly neighborhood. It’s [a] very comfortable place to live. That’s one of the main reasons I moved here many years ago.”
He continued, “And by and large, there’s just no crime, or you know, the crime that does occur is a petty kind of crime, where someone might leave their car unlocked and kids walk by and take something. But nothing like this has occurred since I’ve been here. We don’t see those kinds of monsters here.”
As of this writing, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has not yet identified any suspects in the abduction. Nancy Guthrie was forcibly taken from her home on February 1.
