Nancy Guthrie Update: Sheriff Details What Could Finally Crack the Case Amid ‘Tens of Thousands’ of Videos

As the Nancy Guthrie case hits the six-month mark, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is still optimistic that investigators will learn what happened to the mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

“We’re not even close to these leads being dried up,” Nanos told Fox News Digital in a new interview. “We’ll continue to work them, and even if they all dried up and we had nothing else to go on, we have a cold case unit.”

The sheriff said investigators are sorting through “literally tens of thousands” of videos. “What happens daily is the team looks at these videos and really they’re just kind of compartmentalizing them,” he said.

Nanos explained that investigators could catalog all the videos with a red car, for example, in case police arrest someone in a red car they know was near the crime scene. “We can go back to those videos and say, ‘Aha — this is the same red car,’” he said. “That kind of thinking.”

Additionally, Nanos mentioned the video work in an update his department released on YouTube on Saturday, as seen below.

In the Fox News Digital interview, the sheriff also said corporations are assisting with the search. “Google comes up because they were the ones that first came out with the development of that one photo that was released. And it was critical, right? This is who we believe is the guy. It’s the only piece of evidence we have that says, here’s a picture of him right now. Does that mean other evidence doesn’t exist, video or otherwise? No, I think it does. I think it’s out there. And maybe we have some of that. … “So I like to think that we have some of the best minds in the nation, if not the world, that are trying to solve this case.”

Nancy was reported missing from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. Earlier today, Savannah posted an Instagram message pleading for the public’s help.

“We are desperate,” she said, writing on behalf of her family. “We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual — perhaps with someone they deeply love. Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation.

Savannah added, “There is a way out — to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available. There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing.”
