Sources told NewsNation that Savannah Guthrie was considering leaving the Today show as the traumatizing search for her mom continues.

The outlet reported that Savannah was concerned her fame motivated Nancy’s alleged captors to target her.

Sources cited a segment on NBC where Savannah took viewers inside her mother’s Tucson home.

NewsNation’s Paula Froelich speculated that the segment could have potentially inspired those with ‘bad characters.’

A massive break in the case came earlier this week when FBI Director Kash Patel announced that his team uncovered previously lost surveillance camera footage of a masked individual approaching Nancy Guthrie’s home the night she disappeared.

The footage revealed a suspect seemingly disabling the doorbell footage. They were wearing long pants and a long shirt and were carrying a backpack.

The FBI announced on Thursday that the suspect is described as male, approximately 5’9”-5’10” tall, and of average build.

In the video footage, the suspect was carrying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

The bureau has doubled the reward for information leading to Nancy’s location or the arrest of her alleged captor to $100,000.

False hope of an arrest came on Friday night when authorities detained multiple individuals at two separate locations in Tucson.

SWAT teams raided a home near Nancy Guthrie’s property, and a driver of a Range Rover was detained nearby; however, authorities later said the operation didn’t lead to any arrests.

Former FBI special agent Richard Kolko told CNN on Saturday that temporary detainments were ‘fairly routine.’

However, Kolko added that every new lead can help direct investigators to several clues.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 after a dinner with her daughter, Annie.

Law enforcement believes she was kidnapped sometime around 2am on February 1. The search has now entered its 14th day.

Since Nancy vanished, several ransom notes have been sent to news outlets, blood was found on her front door, DNA evidence was uncovered, SWAT teams descended on a nearby home, and multiple individuals have been detained and released.

The Daily Mail has compiled an extensive timeline of key events in the investigation below.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in an interview with the New York Times on Friday that no matter how long it takes, his team will find Nancy Guthrie’s alleged captor.

‘Maybe it’s an hour from now. Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy,’ he said.

Nanos reflected on the Friday night operation that included a traffic stop and subsequent detainment of a Range Rover driver and a massive SWAT raid on a Tucson home.

He said his team thought ‘this has to be it,’ but added: ‘Then you talk to people, you learn, you do your search, and you think, “Maybe not.”‘

Nanos called the ‘ups and downs’ of the investigation ‘exhausting,’ but assured that his team would keep moving forward in the search.

An FBI task force is reportedly staged in Tucson, Arizona as they await forensic results from Friday’s raid, according to Fox News.

Authorities have come under fire for sending forensic results to a private lab in Florida rather than to the FBI’s lab in Quantico, Virginia.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously defended the position and dispelled rumors of tension between his department and FBI agents.

However, Jason Pack, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, cast doubt on the decision to Fox News Digital.

‘Here’s the question. Do they wait until Monday to commercially ship it to a private lab? In past high-profile cases, I’ve seen FBI aircraft used to immediately shuttle evidence to the FBI Laboratory at Quantico,’ he said.

‘That eliminates days of waiting. In a case involving a vulnerable 84-year-old woman who is without her heart medication, where every hour matters, you don’t wait for FedEx on Monday morning.’

Authorities haven’t yet confirmed which lab is testing the newly obtained evidence.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has been thrust into the national spotlight as the search for Nancy Guthrie gains national attention.

During Nanos’s first press conference on the investigation, he admitted he wasn’t used to his words being subjected to intense public scrutiny.

Within two weeks, Nanos has participated in several high-profile media interviews and has become a key figure in the investigation.

Nanos has served as the department’s sheriff since 2021. He previously served as the agency’s Chief Deputy.

He was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and began his law enforcement career in the El Paso Police Department, according to his online bio.

The FBI and deputies with the Pima County Sheriff’s Office conducted a late-night raid on a home in Tucson on Friday night.

Three individuals were detained but later released. No arrests have been made.

Sheriff Chris Nanos said in an interview with Fox News that the man driving a Range Rover briefly detained during a traffic stop ‘was our person of interest.’

The unidentified man was apprehended by authorities on Friday night, but was later released.

Nans didn’t elaborate on the individual’s connection to the Nancy Guthrie case, but said he was ‘cooperative.’

Four individuals were detained on Friday evening, but they were all released, and no arrests have been made.

Rumors have swirled that there’s been a rift between the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI.

However, Sheriff Chris Nanos dismissed the allegations in a recent interview with Fox News, calling the rumors ‘not even close to accurate.’

‘We don’t hold any information from someone trying to help us. Why would we do that?’ he added.

Nanos also hit back at claims that the Guthrie family hasn’t been cooperating with law enforcement.

‘It was getting crazy out there with allegations about the family. This is all about finding Nancy. That’s all it is,’ he said.

False hope came late on Friday night when SWAT teams raided a home in Tucson near Nancy Guthrie’s property.

However, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office later revealed that no arrests were made in connection with the raid.

‘No sign of Nancy was found,’ Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News.
