FBI reportedly quizzes workers at Mexican eatery where Nancy Guthrie filmed ‘Today’ segment before kidnapping
FBI agents have reportedly quizzed employees at the Mexican restaurant where Nancy Guthrie filmed a “Today” show segment with daughter Savannah just months before she was kidnapped.
The 84-year-old matriarch tagged along with her daughter for a nostalgic tour of Tucson and the places she visited growing up — including the Mexican eatery.
Federal agents showed up at the restaurant to ask if workers recalled seeing anyone “suspicious” while the Guthries were there filming, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the workers passed any valuable details to investigators.
The restaurant was one of several places featured in the October segment that the feds have returned to as the hunt for the missing grandmother has continued, Entin said.
While Entin stopped short of identifying the restaurant, El Charro Cafe — a historic downtown Tucson site — previously proudly shared footage of the segment being filmed there.
After the segment resurfaced and started going viral following Guthrie’s Feb. 1 abduction, the chef, Carlotta Flores, told The Post the Guthrie family had been regulars for years.
“I have absolutely nothing to say but wonderful things about their family. If you think about your grandmother, that’s the way [Nancy] is,” Flores gushed.
“She’s a humble, proud mom who only wants good things for her family. She is proud of her children. She just happens to have a daughter who is in the limelight.”
The revelation came as the search for Guthrie neared its sixth week, with zero leads or suspects.
Guthrie was reported missing after she failed to show up at church, and security footage recovered from her doorbell camera captured a masked man loitering on her doorstep the night police believe she was kidnapped.
Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is leading the investigation, said Thursday he believes he knows why Guthrie was “targeted” — as he warned that the suspect “absolutely” could strike again.
“We believe we know why he did this, and we believe that it was targeted, but we, we can’t, we’re not 100% sure of that,” Nanos told NBC News.
“So it’d be silly to tell people, ‘Yeah, don’t worry about it. You’re, you’re not his target.’ Don’t think for a minute that because it happened to the Guthrie family, you’re safe. No, keep your wits about you.”
Attempts to contact El Charro Cafe were not immediately successful early Friday.
