The search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy, has entered its second month — and investigators are more determined than ever to crack the case. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has revealed that they are “definitely closer” to identifying suspects, with new leads flooding in by the day.
In a heart-stopping interview with NBC’s Liz Kreutz on March 3, Sheriff Nanos opened up about the ongoing investigation into Nancy’s abduction, sharing the shocking details that have emerged since the February 1st disappearance.
💔 A Mysterious Knock That Changed Everything
On the fateful day Nancy was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home, a masked intruder was caught on doorbell camera footage attempting to enter her house just moments before Nancy’s pacemaker was disconnected. But it wasn’t just the break-in that has investigators working overtime — it’s the mysterious vehicle spotted speeding near Nancy’s home around the time of the kidnapping.
Sheriff Nanos confirmed that investigators are reviewing all evidence closely. “We’re looking at that vehicle as well as hundreds of thousands of other vehicles,” he said, hinting that every lead is being thoroughly examined.
💔 The Backpack Mystery Deepens
In another twist, Nanos disclosed that the authorities are now questioning their initial claim that the backpack found at the scene came from Walmart. “We now think it may not have been purchased at Walmart,” Nanos admitted, revealing that they’re investigating the possibility it could have been sold on platforms like eBay.
The search for answers continues as Nanos emphasizes how vital it is to keep certain information under wraps for the sake of the investigation. “We have critical details we’re not ready to share just yet,” he explained, adding that time is key to solving this case.
💔 The Reward Increases — And Hope Remains
As the search goes on, the Guthrie family has increased the reward for any information that leads to Nancy’s recovery or the arrest of a suspect to a staggering $1 million. The FBI is calling on the public to assist, urging anyone with information to reach out.
In a deeply emotional moment, Savannah, her sister Annie, and their family visited the shrine of flowers and messages outside Nancy’s home on the one-month anniversary of her disappearance. Savannah posted a heartfelt message on Instagram: “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community, and from around the country 💛. Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home.”
With hope still burning bright and the investigation intensifying, the question on everyone’s mind is — will they finally find the answers they desperately need?
