Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing more than a month after being abducted—and a retired FBI agent said the case is “red hot” with evidence as it took a sudden turn.
Recently, both the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) withdrew multiple agents and officers from Tucson to focus on other aspects of the investigation.

As the case enters this new phase, Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, weighed in on Nancy’s disappearance.
“Anyone reporting that Nancy’s case is cold has no idea what that term means and has never worked a day of law enforcement in their life,” she wrote on X on March 3.
Coffindaffer continued, “The FBI has so many video leads that they have relocated to Phoenix for additional analytics resources. “They have a glove, DNA from inside the house, videos, Porch Guy leads and so much more we know nothing about.”

On Feb. 1, the PCSD launched its search for Nancy, who was last seen at her residence on Jan. 31. Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, have since sent multiple video messages to the potential captor after receiving several alleged ransom notes. Most recently, Savannah offered a $1 million reward for any information leading to Nancy’s return.
In a Feb. 27 statement, the PCSD said, “This remains an active investigation and will continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted,” per People. “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is refocusing resources to detectives specifically assigned to this case. As leads are developed and resolved, resource allocation may fluctuate. PCSD will maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood.”
