FBI Returns to Nancy Guthrie’s Neighborhood to Question Locals as Sheriff ‘Reduces’ Manpower on 84-Year-Old’s Case

The FBI has returned to Nancy Guthrie's Arizona neighborhood, where agents were seen questioning the missing 84-year-old's fellow Catalina Foothills residents—while also searching a garage at a property near to her dwelling.

Several agents were seen going door to door near Nancy's $1 million property, with NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin capturing footage of FBI officials "talking to several different neighbors" in the area.

Entin added that the agents were seen "in the garage and driveway area" of a home that is located directly west of Nancy's abode, with video footage showing two officials walking down a driveway outside a property and getting into a vehicle.

Their appearance in the neighborhood comes shortly after it was revealed that the Pima County Sheriff's Department had scaled back the number of detectives it had working on the case—which is now in its second month.

Speaking to the outlet, Sgt. Aaron Cross, who is the president of the Pima County Deputies Organization, said that it's currently unclear what the reduction in manpower really means.

"Everybody wishes that we had some hot leads, that the whole department’s working, trying to run down to solve this quickly," he said.

"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."

On Feb. 26, ABC News reported that the FBI had drastically reduced the number of personnel it had working on the ground in the Tucson area, where Nancy's home is located, with sources telling the outlet that the majority of agents on the case had been called back to the agency's Phoenix headquarters.

However, it was made clear at the time that this development should not be viewed as a sign that the investigation is over or that authorities are any less hopeful about finding Nancy.

"The FBI will keep agents in Tucson and continue to partner with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, but many agents are returning to Phoenix to work the case from there," the outlet reported.

Authorities have been working to collect any and all evidence from the area surrounding Nancy's home, including any video footage captured by doorbell or security cameras at her neighbors' properties.

Among the video footage submitted is a series of clips taken by a Ring security camera that was located at a howe around 2.5 miles away from Nancy's dwelling, which purportedly shows multiple vehicles driving on a road that leads directly to her neighborhood on the morning that she is thought to have been abducted.

Elias and Danielle Stratigouleas told Fox News that authorities had not initially asked them for the camera footage, noting that they live around half a mile outside of the 2-mile zone that was being canvassed by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed to NBC News this week that authorities are reviewing the footage and trying to identify the vehicles featured in it.

It has been claimed that the video includes footage of one particular vehicle on the road at 2:36 a.m. on Feb. 1, around the same time that Nancy is thought to have been taken.

Nanos declined to verify these claims, simply stating: "Look, what I would tell you is this: We’re aware of it, and we’re looking into it, just like any other piece of evidence. We’re looking at that vehicle as well as hundreds of thousands of other vehicles that were out driving that time of day."

On Thursday, Nancy's daughter, "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, was seen in her hometown of New York for the first time since her mother disappeared—with video and photos showing the on-air star making a visit to the morning show's Manhattan studio.

Savannah, 54, was pictured being warmly embraced by her colleagues inside the space, including her former costar Hoda Kotb, who was seen breaking down in tears while greeting her.

At the same time, a spokesperson for NBC confirmed that Savannah does fully intend to return to her hosting duties on the morning show—but did not indicate when this will happen, noting that the mother of two is focused fully on the search for her missing mom.

"Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her 'Today' colleagues," the spokesperson said. "While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home."

Video taken by the New York Post showed Savannah leaving the "Today" show studio, accompanied by several security guards and police officers—and being greeted by well wishers who expressed their sympathy about her mother's case.

The on-air personality then got into the back of a blacked-out SUV, before being driven away—presumably back to the Brooklyn townhouse she shares with her husband, Michael Feldman, and their two children, daughter Vale and son Charley.

After Savannah's visit to the "Today" studio on Thursday, her colleague, Jenna Bush Hager, opened up about her desire to return to the show, telling viewers: "She said that she has the intention to return to the show, even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it’s also her home and where she feels so loved."

Sheinelle Jones added: "We're not out of the storm, but there’s a light somewhere even in the midst of the storm. I think her coming here and just being able to be with us, and for us to be able to hug her, I think it’s a step."

Savannah is not thought to have been in New York since Feb. 1, when her mother was first reported missing—the same day that a masked and armed intruder was caught on camera approaching Nancy's home in the early hours of the morning.

Hoda, who officially stepped down as Savannah's "Today" co-host in January 2025, has been filling in for her on-air since Feb. 2 and is understood to have committed to continuing to anchor the show alongside Craig Melvin until her former co-star is ready to return.

Savannah's husband, Michael, was reported to have been making frequent trips to Arizona from the couple's home in Brooklyn, where he has been caring for their two children, with Page Six reporting in February that he had also paid a visit to his wife's "Today" colleagues.

"There were a lot of tears," one insider said of the visit.

What is the full timeline of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance?
