| 2/16/26 |  Why is the Nancy Guthrie case uniquely Arizonan? | One of the interesting things about the Guthrie story is that it is so deeply rooted in Arizona.

This week on Valley 101, longtime the Republic reporter who has been covering the story, talks about the Guthrie case, the frustrations of making slow progress and the Arizona ties.
