As part of a refocusing of resources, NewsNation has learned four detectives and a sergeant from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office have been assigned to a task force with the FBI to continue investigating Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
The task force will be stationed at the FBI office in Tucson. This comes as the search for Nancy Guthrie reached Day 32 without any sign of her whereabouts.
Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1, and authorities believe the 84-year-old was abducted from her home in the late night or early morning hours. Although multiple ransom notes have been found, Guthrie has still not been located.
“Everybody wishes that we had some hot leads, that the whole department’s working, trying to run down to solve this quickly. So the fact that we’re reducing the amount of manpower working it, I mean, it’s hard to say what kind of sign that signals,” Sgt. Aaron Cross, president of the Pima County Deputies Organization, told NewsNation.
DNA results in for glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home: Sheriff
“I know (there were) issues between the sheriff and the FBI early on, but now that they’re working on one task force, is that positive? I hope so. I hope it’s a more collaborative effort with the federal agency,” Cross added.
NewsNation has obtained a 41-page operational plan the United Cajun Navy sent to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, offering to help search for Guthrie.
At this point, they have not received a response, having tried for almost a week to get the sheriff to sign off. The plan would include the possibility of dozens of K-9s and drones. Cross hopes Nanos will work with the United Cajun Navy:“More bodies are always better than less,” he said.
This week, Nanos told NBC News investigators are “definitely closer” to tracking down a suspect, or suspects, in the case. Nanos also said there are still several key things investigators have not been able to identify.
That includes a car caught on a Ring camera video about two-and-a-half miles from Guthrie’s home around 2 a.m. on the night she disappeared. Nanos says they are looking into it, just like “Hundreds of thousands of vehicles” that were out driving at that time.
Former FBI agent rejects viral Nancy Guthrie theory as search gets disappointing update
An ex-FBI agent has cast doubt on a viral theory in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, as the search for the missing 84-year-old enters its second month.

A former FBI agent has challenged a key theory in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The 84-year-old mom of Savannah Guthrie has been missing for more than a month. Guthrie vanished from her home near Tucson in the early hours of February 1. Investigators say there were signs of a struggle at the property, including blood on the porch that was later confirmed to be hers. Doorbell footage also showed a masked individual approaching the house and tampering with the camera before it was disabled.
Now, a possible clue in the case has turned out to be a dead end, according to latest reports. Gloves discovered near the home were initially thought to belong to the suspect seen in the footage, but DNA testing later showed they belonged to a nearby restaurant worker who had no connection to the disappearance. It comes after a mystery man who claimed he “saw Nancy 5 days ago” offered chilling new proof.
Former FBI agent Greg Rogers has dismissed the idea that the incident was a robbery gone wrong. Speaking in an interview, he says that the suspect’s actions – such as disabling the camera and moving cautiously around the property – suggest the crime was planned.
“I have never thought this was a robbery gone wrong,” Rogers told Parade.

“There were too many opportunities to have hit the house when nobody was home. There are a good number of interstate home burglars that are much more careful, case homes, know when the owners are away, and are in and out in minutes. They do not hit residences when it is almost guaranteed someone is home.”
Greg Rogers said there is no evidence that valuables were taken from the home of missing Nancy Guthrie, casting doubt on the theory of a botched robbery. He believes the circumstances suggest the person behind her disappearance may have known her.
“I think it is highly likely that someone who knew Guthrie and/or had something to do with her—[think] home maintenance, health care, yard and pool care—was involved,” Rogers said.

“One of those persons could have been hired to give info about security systems, Guthrie’s schedule etc. That person could have also worked in one of those positions to be able to learn that same information.”
Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie may have been abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. They released Google Nest camera footage showing an armed, masked person standing on her front stoop shortly before she disappeared, but no suspect has been identified.
Experts reviewing the footage believe the individual may have used a walkie-talkie instead of a mobile phone to avoid leaving digital traces. Guthrie’s family is now offering a $1 million reward for information that could help bring her home safely.

New update on DNA
Authorities have revealed that DNA on one of the gloves discovered near Nancy’s home has a match to an employee who works at a restaurant across the street. Nanos said in an interview with KVOA that officials always suspected that this might be the case, with scores of random gloves being found near Nancy’s Tucson home.
“There was some talk and discussion that it was police officers out in the field just discarding [the gloves], that is so far from the truth,” Nanos said.
“We knew that at that time, we believed wholeheartedly that those gloves belonged to a restaurant and guess what? The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street. It has nothing to do with the case,” he added.
However, Nanos also explained that other gloves found near the home could have a different DNA match.
“It’s a challenge because we know we have DNA, but now we have to deal with that mixture and how we’re going to separate it,” Nanos said.
The sheriff recently said that authorities are “definitely closer” to tracking down the suspect or suspects in the case.
“I think the investigators are definitely closer,” Nanos said in an NBC interview. “We got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it’s time to just go to work.
