Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mom of Today‘s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since the early hours of February 1, when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona, and over 100 days later, she remains missing with no suspects named.
NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin spoke with retired FBI special agent Steve Moore on the latest episode of his Brian Entin Investigates podcast, where the pair discussed the “chaotic” first hours of the investigation and how they might have hindered the case.
