Final FBI Sweep Signals Dead End in Nancy Guthrie Case

FBI agents returned to Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home Wednesday for what sources described as a final sweep before deciding whether her family can reenter the property, a move that underscores how the high-profile abduction probe has stalled nearly a month in.

The 84-year-old mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie has now been missing for 26 days. No suspects have been publicly identified.

Federal investigators spent more than two hours at the $1 million home in the Catalina Foothills, combing the property for any remaining evidence that may have been overlooked, sources told The Post.

The visit signals authorities may be wrapping up intensive on-site forensic work as the case shifts into a longer-term investigative phase.

Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1 after she failed to appear at church. Security footage from her Nest doorbell camera showed a masked individual lingering at her front door in the early morning hours. The person was seen wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack and attempting to obscure the camera with branches.

Some online sleuths have speculated the footage could show more than one individual, though officials have not confirmed that theory.

Neighbors in the upscale community have said they noticed a suspicious young man walking in the area in the weeks before Guthrie disappeared, describing him as someone who “just didn’t fit.”

Law enforcement sources previously told ABC News that the investigation could transition to a smaller, long-term task force after early leads failed to produce results. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has pushed back on claims of a scaled-down effort, telling The Post that between 300 and 400 personnel remain assigned to the case and that staffing levels have not changed.

Investigators have collected a significant amount of evidence from the residence, including reported traces of blood. Sheriff Chris Nanos has cautioned that forensic testing, particularly DNA analysis, could take up to a year to complete.

The sheriff has also rejected speculation about certain aspects of the surveillance footage, emphasizing that some circulating theories are not backed by confirmed timestamps or forensic conclusions.

For now, the case remains one of the most baffling missing persons investigations in Arizona in recent memory.
