Friday, February 6, 2026 — A day of high-stakes arrests and the end of a decades-long nuclear era. Here are the latest developments.
1. Breaking: Arrest in the Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping Case
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed a major breakthrough this morning in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie.
The Suspect: 31-year-old Derrick Callella of California was arrested and charged with sending fraudulent ransom demands to the Guthrie family.
The Details: Callella allegedly sent text messages demanding Bitcoin for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie. However, investigators have labeled him an "imposter" who was attempting to profit from the family's tragedy.
Still Missing: Despite the arrest, Nancy Guthrie remains missing. Sheriff Nanos confirmed that DNA testing on blood found on her porch matches her, and her pacemaker disconnected from its app at 2:28 a.m. Sunday. A $50,000 reward for her safe return remains active.
2. Global Security: The End of the Nuclear Era
At midnight GMT, the New START Treaty officially expired, marking the first time in over 50 years that the U.S. and Russia are not bound by any nuclear arms limits.
The Impact: Thousands of warheads are no longer subject to inspections. President Trump has refused to extend the treaty, citing the need for China to be included in any future nuclear negotiations.
The Warning: UN Secretary-General Guterres called this a "grave moment for international peace," as tensions over the Ukraine conflict remain at a fever pitch.
3. Healthcare: TrumpRx Portal Now Active
