The nearly month-long search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie's mysterious disappearance may be closer to a breakthrough if a co-conspirator or getaway driver can come forward and provide information, according to an analyst covering the case.
Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, disappeared without a trace from her Catalina Foothills home on 1 February. Authorities have long believed she had been abducted.
Authorities have yet to identify a suspect in the abduction, nor have they been able to ensure her safe return to her family.
New Video Footage Could Yield Leads
Brian Entin, Senior National Correspondent for NewsNation, is looking into the possibility that there may have been a co-conspirator or escape driver who might hold the answers to Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts.
Entin's theory follows a criminal attorney's revelation of six 'red flags' in Nancy Guthrie's case that are inconsistent, according to a report by The Mirror US.
In a video posted on YouTube on his channel, BrianEntinInvestigates, Entin said the one-million-dollar reward could potentially convince a possible accomplice or getaway driver to step forward and provide information on Nancy Guthrie's case.
He said, 'I really want to dive into the possibility of an accomplice or getaway driver, which I've talked about before. But what could actually cause that person to come forward and essentially rat the other person out?'
Entin also said federal agents with whom he spoke had the same idea as his theory. In the video, Entin spoke with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Moren O'Connell, whom he asked for her opinion on where the case is at the moment. O'Connell answered, 'I don't think it's going to be a cold case.'
Agent O'Connell also said that the FBI remains actively involved in the investigation and is reviewing thousands of hours of video footage from traffic neighbourhood cameras. In addition, the bureau is also coordinating with local authorities, including the Pima County Sheriff's Office, to ensure all investigative leads are pursued.
FBI Shifts Focus to Video Analysis
Video evidence has been a central piece of the investigation since the surveillance footage captured a masked individual tampering with Guthrie's doorbell camera in the early hours of 1 February, before her disappearance on the same day. In hopes that anyone would be able to identify the person, authorities released the footage to the public.
Several days prior, Entin posted a video where he explained that the FBI's investigations have shifted. He said, 'In terms of what's going on behind the scenes with detectives on the Pima County side and also on the FBI side, there's been a change in resources, I've learned.'

'Basically what's happening is we knew some of the FBI were going back to Phoenix, which does make sense because apparently they have thousands of hours of video to review, which I presume is from traffic cameras and that kind of thing.'
Entin also said Ring cameras from the neighbourhood may not have provided the FBI and investigators with thousands of hours' worth of videos. 'I don't think they've found thousands of hours of video from, like, neighbourhood Ring cameras. The fact they're going back to Phoenix doesn't really surprise me, and I don't think it impacts the investigation that much. It just doesn't feel that active in Tucson.'
'They are still going to keep a contingent of FBI agents on the ground here in Tucson. In terms of the Pima County Sheriff's Office, I'm told they are still keeping a number of detectives on the case, but it won't be all the detectives like it was.'
