Nancy Guthrie's disappearance entered a new phase on Tuesday, Feb. 27, in Tucson, Arizona, as the Pima County Sheriff's Department announced it was 'refocusing resources' on a smaller team of detectives and the FBI quietly shifted its command post on the case from Tucson to Phoenix, nearly four weeks after the 84-year-old mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie was abducted from her home.
The news came after nearly a month of frantic searching, public appeals and a flood of tips that have yet to produce a clear breakthrough. Nancy Guthrie was taken from her house in the city's Catalina Foothills on Feb. 1, in what investigators quickly classified as an abduction. The FBI joined the investigation several days later, and for a time the search footprint around Tucson felt large and immediate. As days turned into weeks, though, key questions about who took her and why have remained starkly unanswered.
