Episode summary
Guthrie Investigation Intensifies; Ten Dead in Canada School Shooting | Bloomberg Daybreak: US...
Summary
The episode centered on two breaking public-safety stories: the search for Nancy Guthrie in Arizona and a mass shooting in British Columbia that left at least 10 people dead and 25 injured. On the Guthrie case, the hosts said authorities detained and then released a man who denied any involvement, while the FBI had released surveillance images and video of a masked person outside her home near Tucson. The discussion suggested investigators still do not have a clear suspect, even as the case draws intense public attention.
The Canadian shooting was described as one of the country’s deadliest incidents since 2020. Police said the violence began at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and that the suspected shooter appeared to have died from a self-inflicted injury. British Columbia’s premier said officers reached the school within minutes, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was devastated by the attack.
Elsewhere, the broadcast previewed a House vote on tariffs linked to President Donald Trump, Netanyahu’s White House meeting on Iran and Gaza, and the delayed January jobs report, where economists expect 65,000 payrolls added and unemployment steady at 4.4%. It also covered Howard Lutnick’s Epstein ties, Heineken’s 7% workforce cut, and Ford’s expectation of higher profit despite a $900 million tariff hit.
Key takeaways
- Authorities in Arizona detained and released a man in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, underscoring how little the FBI has confirmed publicly.
- The FBI’s released surveillance video shows a masked person outside Guthrie’s home carrying what appeared to be a handgun and a large backpack.
- Police said the British Columbia shooting left at least 10 dead and 25 injured, with the suspected shooter appearing to die from a self-inflicted injury.
- Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect January payrolls to rise by only 65,000, with unemployment at 4.4%, a reading that could pressure the Fed to cut rates faster.
- Heineken plans to cut about 7% of its global workforce over two years as beer demand weakens and consumers moderate spending.

How the episode opens
Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news. — Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. — And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. — Karen, we begin in Arizona this morning. The latest in the search for Savannah Guthri's mother, Nancy. Authorities have apparently released a man who was detained in connection with her disappearance. The man who only wanted to be identified as Carlos said he was detained after a traffic stop. He spoke with reporters outside his home in Rio Rico, Arizona.
I tried to clear my name. I didn't do anything. — I mean, I hope they get the suspect cuz I'm not it. They better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name and I'll be done.
Carlos added he doesn't know who Nancy Guthrie is or why law enforcement thought he might be connected to her kidnapping. The case has attracted international attention. It took a dramatic turn when the FBI released photos and video images of a possible suspect outside Guthri's home near Tucson.
A video posted on X showed a masked individual wearing gloves approaching a front door with what appeared to be a handgun in a holster carrying a large backpack. Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie. She was reported missing February 1st.
Authorities think she was taken against her will with the suspect disconnecting the camera doorbell.
Well, we do have some tragic news out of Canada overnight, Nathan. At least 10 people are dead, 25 others injured. This is after a mass shooting in a remote town in Western Canada. Eight people died after shots were fired at a school in Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, including a woman whom police believe to be the shooter.
