  • An influencer, Kiki, used the home of missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie in Tucson as a backdrop for a photoshoot for her content, just days before Guthrie's family visited a memorial there.
  • Kiki, accompanied by a photographer, posed outside the house, drawing criticism from other true crime content creators who deemed her actions inappropriate.
  • Kiki defended her actions online, stating she was gathering material for a true crime video about the case and that the controversy was diverting attention from Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.
  • Three days after the photoshoot, Nancy Guthrie's daughters, including TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, visited a makeshift memorial at the house, placing flowers and embracing.
  • The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is ongoing, with the family offering a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery.
