NewsNation’s Brian Entin Explains Why Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance Is Not a ‘Cold Case’ (Exclusive)
NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin remains confident that Savannah Guthrie and her family will receive the answers they’ve been searching for in the wake of their mother Nancy Guthrie’s mysterious disappearance.
“I really still feel that there’s going to be a resolution and that [detectives are] going to solve it. I just know through my sources how many people are working behind the scenes,” Entin, 41, exclusively shared with Us in a new cover story focused on Nancy’s disappearance. “With other cases that go cold, they might have one detective that looks into it every once in a while, or they say it’s technically still open. With this case, there’s a dedicated task force. There are still FBI agents and detectives whose entire full-time job is just the Nancy Guthrie case every single day, and they all meet together every single day.”
After covering the case for more than six months, Entin is confident a breakthrough in the case is coming.
“I also have faith in the DNA. I’ve learned a lot about how much that technology is changing, and just other parts of science. There are advances every single week,” he claimed. “They’re able to do things they weren’t able to do not that long ago with DNA testing. I’m hopeful that eventually there’ll be a break on that front.”
News broke on February 1 that Savannah’s 84-year-old mom had been reported missing in Tucson, Arizona, after she failed to attend a virtual church service.
While police have yet to publicly name a suspect or person of interest in the case, a $1 million reward remains available to anyone with information that assists in Nancy’s recovery.
Entin traveled to Nancy’s hometown on February 2 and spent nearly 43 consecutive days in the city. He continues to make the trip to facilitate followup visits with neighbors, police and sources.
“I can’t think of another case I’ve covered where there was this level, I think, of pressure on law enforcement for it to be solved,” the journalist shared. “It goes all the way to the very top with [President Donald Trump and] people asking and concerned that it’s not solved and what’s going on. I think the agents and the detectives feel that, and I just think eventually there’s going to be a lucky break.”
While authorities have shared limited updates in recent weeks, Entin is not surprised that Americans continue to be captivated by the unsolved case.
“I think they just connected with it because they feel something for Nancy. You think about your own mom. You think about your own grandma,” he shared. “I think all of us who have older parents are always a little worried about them being alone. Do they have what they need? Are they still OK by themselves? Do they need security cameras? Do they remember to lock the door at night? … It was less about Savannah, and it was more just how does this nice older woman just vanish in the night? And there are no answers.”
As police continue to investigate and ask for new tips, Entin is ready to pack his bags and head back to Tucson at a moment’s notice if needed. After six months, he’s confident that day will come sooner rather than later.
“I would tell you if I thought that it was becoming a cold case,” he said. “I would just tell you if I was getting that vibe. But I still think every day, I’m like, ‘Today could be the day.’ I think that there’s just too many people working on it, and I think eventually there’s going to be a break.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI’s tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tips can remain anonymous.
