Ex-FBI Agent: Jail Calls Could Crack Guthrie Mom Case
25 Oct
Summary
- A retired FBI agent believes jail informants could aid the missing Nancy Guthrie case.
- Nancy Guthrie, mother of TV host Savannah Guthrie, was abducted nearly nine months ago.
- Investigators are seeking unique information, as much is already public knowledge.

Nearly nine months after the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, mother of 'Today' co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, a former FBI special agent believes inmates could provide vital clues. Maureen O'Connell, speaking on 'Brian Entin Investigates,' suggested that jail calls and informants in Pima County are likely being utilized by narcotics officers.
O'Connell explained that individuals arrested often seek to leverage any information they might possess about high-profile cases. She stressed the necessity of maintaining secrecy around the investigation to filter out false tips and identify genuine breakthroughs. This approach helps investigators discern valuable intelligence from speculation.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, having last been seen on January 31. Despite public appeals, including a $1 million reward offered by Savannah Guthrie and the release of suspect images, no arrests have been made in the ongoing case.
