Nancy Guthrie Case Latest Update: A retired FBI agent says “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie should understand the intense media attention surrounding her mother’s kidnapping case, given her decades of experience covering high-profile investigations. Nancy Guthrie, 84, has now been missing for seven weeks after she was abducted from her Tucson-area home in late January .
Retired FBI Agent Maureen O’Connell shared her thoughts with true crime reporter Brian Entin on Wednesday, discussing how Savannah’s professional background might shape her perspective on the case that has drawn national attention.
What Did the Former FBI Agent Say About Savannah Guthrie?
O’Connell suggested that Savannah’s career as a journalist covering major stories gives her a unique understanding of the media scrutiny her family now faces. Brian Entin noted during the conversation, “She’s been that person before, and I feel terrible for her now, on the other side of this.”
O’Connell added her own observations, saying, “I’ve seen her be pretty tough on people that I felt were victims of things in the past. I’m not going to hold that against her obviously. This is a terrible thing. But it’s to the point that she should almost to a certain extent understand.”

The retired agent also commented on Savannah’s brother, saying, “The person I think about all the time for some reason is her brother. The fighter pilot. Because he’s stoic, that he’s handled this whole thing just like the quiet warrior.”
Why Are Former FBI Agents ‘Stumped’ by This Case?
Another former FBI agent, Steve Moore, told Entin he is puzzled why Nancy’s case remains unsolved. “We were talking the other day, a bunch of agents, and we just can’t figure out why it hasn’t been solved, and it’s not because we think we are smarter than the agents, we just don’t know what is the handicap because there is one.”
Moore suggested there must be some obstacle investigators are facing. “If there wasn’t some kind of road block here, they would have solved it. I trust these agents and I trust the teams they’re on so we’re curious about what happened in the investigation.”
He pointed to possible issues including “inter-agency rivalry, especially from one agency, and a lot of public relations gaps. I think when something has not worked to plan, you have to look at what mistakes were made.”
What Do Former Agents Think About the Kidnapper?
Moore offered a striking assessment of whoever abducted Nancy Guthrie. “I would say the perpetrators getting lucky, because they didn’t seem to be all that competent.”
He pointed to surveillance footage of a masked man at the Guthrie home the night of her disappearance. “When you show me somebody who’s wearing his gun in the wrong holster in his crotch, outside the pants, and he’s trying to cover up a ring camera with leaves, you’ve shown me somebody who is not Lex Luthor.”
What Is the Current Status of the Investigation?
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson-area home on Jan. 31. Investigators believe she was kidnapped overnight. The FBI has released surveillance footage showing a masked man at her home that night.
The FBI reported receiving more than 25,000 tips between Feb. 1 and March 2, while officials said more than 30,000 calls came in within two weeks of her disappearance. A $1 million reward is being offered by her family, along with a $100,000 reward from the FBI and an additional $102,000 from 88-CRIME.
Investigators have returned to the Catalina Foothills neighborhood to interview non-residents including landscapers and construction workers. Despite these efforts, no suspect has been identified.
What Criticism Has the Sheriff Faced?
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, led by Sheriff Chris Nanos, has faced national pressure over its handling of the investigation. A recall effort was launched against Nanos on March 12, citing the Guthrie case among other concerns.
Fox News contributors and former agents have questioned investigative decisions, with some saying confidence in the sheriff has eroded.
