A local TV station is facing backlash from viewers after airing a special on Nancy Guthrie that contained a major error. Following the KVOA News 4 Tucson broadcast of "Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie," viewers quickly took to social media, pointing out that the program misstated the date of her disappearance.
In addition to recapping the past several weeks, the television special featured an interview with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and an exclusive statement from the Guthrie family. It was during KVOA's interview with Sheriff Nanos, however, that the incorrect date was stated.
"Take me back to the night of Sunday, January 31," KVOA anchor Monica Garcia said during her interview with Nanos.
Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1. She was last seen by her family members on Saturday, Jan. 31 around 9:45 p.m. local time. When she didn't show up at a friend's house to watch a livestream of a church service on Sunday morning, her family was notified. Within minutes of arriving at her home in the Catalina Foothills, authorities were called. According to the Pima County Sheriff's official timeline, authorities arrived at the home after 12 p.m. local time.
"No disrespect to the Guthrie family. I pray every day Nancy is found, but your reporter while speaking to the sheriff got her dates wrong. Nancy was reported missing around 11:50 on Sunday FEB 1," one person wrote on X after the special aired.
"How disappointing this wasn't about Nancy and helping her get home, but a hit report on the people keeping her name out there by live streaming. Just shameful reporting, another reason we stopped watching TV news," someone else said.
"This was a horrible click bait. Repeats of what other channels have already reported. Can’t even get the date correct. If not for streamers who is reporting & try to find Nancy? Not KVOA, you should be ashamed of this! Find Nancy," a third comment read, adding a special thank you to YouTubers who have been covering the case.
"This was a pathetic hit piece on streamers while using their footage and interviews. Nothing new and no updates. Absolutely appalling and disgusting & edited by a two year old. What a damn joke," a fourth X user added.
KVOA has not publicly responded to the criticism.
