More than a month into the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom, Nancy Guthrie, the sheriff leading the investigation believes they are “definitely closer” to identifying and locating a suspect or suspects.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos spoke with NBC’s Liz Kreutz in a new interview, which aired on the Today show on Tuesday, March 3. When asked by Kreutz whether investigators are “any closer to finding a suspect or suspects,” Nanos replied, “I think that investigators are definitely closer. We’ve got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it’s time to just go to work.”

Nancy, 84, was taken from her Tucson, Ariz., home on Feb. 1, and since that time, authorities have not been able to successfully identify a single suspect.

Last month, doorbell camera footage was released of a masked, armed man attempting to enter Nancy’s residence, shortly before her pacemaker was disconnected from its track device.

Nancy’s neighbors have also submitted numerous doorbell camera videos in the area, including a video first shared by Fox News Digital last week of a car speeding down the road 2.5 miles from Nancy’s home around the time of her abduction.

“We’re aware of it and we’re looking into it, just like any other piece of evidence,” Nanos said of the clip, adding that investigators have not been able to identify the vehicle.

“We’re looking at that vehicle as well as hundreds of thousands of other vehicles that were out driving at that time of day,” he added.

Police are exhausting every pathway, including second-guessing their original claim that the intruder’s backpack came from Walmart.

“We’re now learned that maybe it wasn’t purchased out of Walmart,” Nanos said. “That backpack is new, it’s exclusive to Walmart, but who’s to say I didn’t buy it and put it on eBay? That’s what we’re looking into.”

Nanos also admitted that he and other authorities have intentionally kept many details from the public.

“There’s so much that everybody wants to know, right? But I would be very neglectful and irresponsible as a police, law enforcement leader to share that with everybody,” Nanos said. “We have information on this case that we think is going to hopefully lead us to solving this case, but it takes time.”

When asked whether he would eventually solve the case, Nanos replied, “Absolutely.”

Emergency alarms screamed through HMP Frankland — and moments later, Ian Huntley was reportedly on the floor after a brutal metal bar attack.  Sources say the notorious child killer, serving life for the 2002 murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, was assaulted by a fellow inmate inside the high-security prison.  Three days later, insiders claim he’s “still in a bad way,” under close medical supervision.  The attack was described as sudden. Violent. Over in seconds.  Huntley has long been one of Britain’s most reviled prisoners, and tensions around him have simmered for years behind bars. Even in maximum-security wings built to contain the country’s most dangerous offenders, fury doesn’t disappear — it waits.  Following the assault, lockdown measures were reportedly enforced, and staff remain on heightened alert.  Officials aren’t releasing medical details.  But what happened inside those heavy prison walls — and what it reveals about life for high-profile inmates — is raising serious questions.  Full story in the comments 👇
