After almost three weeks of searching without any significant breakthrough, investigators are considering scaling back the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, as reported by ABC News.
Key leads in the case have turned up empty, leading to the possibility of shifting to a smaller, long-term task force model. Partial DNA found in Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home remains unidentified, and no vehicle has been linked to the abduction. Additionally, no new footage has been retrieved from her home security system.
Despite reports of a potential shift in the investigation model, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated that between 300 and 400 personnel are still working on the case, maintaining the same staffing levels since the beginning of the investigation.
The Sheriff’s Department confirmed that there are no immediate plans to reduce resources but assured that the press would be notified if there are any changes. Sheriff Chris Nanos has publicly expressed determination to find Guthrie, stating, “We’re not quitting. We’ll find her.”
Investigators are focusing on tracking purchases of a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack, which was seen on a suspect in door camera footage on February 1. The suspect is described as a man between 5-feet-9 inches and 5-feet-10 inches tall with an average build.
Rewards totaling over $200,000 are being offered for information leading to Guthrie or her captor. The FBI has not responded to requests for comment at this time.
