More than six weeks after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home, a former FBI agent is shedding light on why the investigation may appear to be going in circles.
84-year-old Nancy, mother of Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on February 1 and despite 45 days of searching, there have been no major leads or suspects and authorities have not confirmed where she might be.
Former FBI agent Steve Moore explained that investigators are now likely going back over earlier steps and checking things they may not have focused on before.
Moore said this is a normal part of an investigation, comparing it to retracing steps when searching for lost items.
He added that investigators usually start with the most obvious places and leads first, only checking less obvious possibilities when those do not work.
Moore said investigators are now at a deeper stage, 'pulling up cushions' in the couch, and explained that this would explain why the investigation appears to be going in circles.
The case remains confusing even after more than 45 days, with police not identifying any suspects and the investigation ongoing as authorities continue to search for answers.
Savannah Guthrie and her family have offered a $1 million reward for anyone who provides information that could help 'bring her home.'
