It’s been a month and a half since Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, was abducted, but there are still no solid clues as to what happened. Or at least not publicly announced. Police have released surveillance photos and videos and found DNA, but have not yet released the identity of the suspect or revealed a motive.
NewsNation senior investigative reporter Brian Entin recently said on the latest episode Brian Entin Investigatesthe FBI is now “going back to the neighbor’s house and asking more questions.”

“Some of the things they’re talking about is that there was a neighbor who moved out before Nancy went missing and they’re asking more questions about that situation,” he said. “Not that that has anything to do with what happened. But that’s what FBI agents are asking about.”
One “particularly interesting” detail, he added, was that agents were eyeing “several houses under construction” in the area.
“They specifically asked for the names of contractors and workers who were building these homes and construction projects in the neighborhood,” he said. “I’m talking about details. They wanted the names of all the contractors and workers who were working on these homes.”
Guthrie disappeared on the night of January 31 or the morning of February 1. Although there were no concrete leads, one of the neighbors, Aldine Meister, had previously told Entin she was concerned about vacant properties nearby. “My neighbor on the other side has moved out. Like I said, I want them to inspect that house,” she told the American Mirror.
Meester also said she saw a “strange man” walking around the area in the weeks before Nancy disappeared. She reported the incident to law enforcement.
All of this comes after retired Pima County SWAT Commander Bob Kriegiel said detectives were making progress in the case. “They’re getting closer 24 hours a day,” he told Parade, adding that Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos recently said investigators were “definitely closer” to identifying the suspect, a testament to the progress in the investigation.
“No matter what you think of this statement, investigators are closer every day to closing and resolving this case,” he said. “That doesn’t mean it’s going to happen in a week, a month or even a year, but it’s closer today than it was yesterday.”
Others familiar with such investigations agree. Retired FBI agent Greg Rogers told Parade he believed there was a lot of work going on behind the scenes, particularly on the forensic side. “I believe extensive home research is ongoing on the DNA samples found in the residence. No press release will be issued regarding this until a potential suspect is identified,” Rogers said.
The reward for information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is as high as $1 million.
