Today, co-anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, remains missing four months following her abduction in Tucson, Arizona. A retired FBI agent has recently commented on reports that Savannah has engaged a private investigator.

Nancy Guthrie update: Ex-FBI agent shares his perspective on private investigator's role
The report has yet to receive official confirmation from Nancy’s family, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI, or any other entity. However, Jason Pack, a former FBI special agent, shared his perspective on the potential involvement of a private investigator in the search for the 84-year-old.
“I have nothing but respect for that decision,” Pack stated to Parade. “When it’s your mother, you exhaust every option available to you.”
Furthermore, he emphasized, “A well-resourced investigator can pursue leads and conduct interviews in ways that complement what law enforcement is doing without getting in the way.”
Pack wrapped up his reflections on the situation by suggesting, “Overall, I think, despite the undertones and rumblings, that’s not a complete lack of faith in the investigative team, per se. I see it more a daughter and a family doing everything in their power. Many families do the same thing.”
Savannah's mother was last seen at her residence in Catalina Foothills on the night of January 31. In spite of Savannah presenting a $1 million reward and the FBI disseminating video footage and images of a masked individual on the 84-year-old’s doorstep, no suspect has been identified.
Savannah's heartfelt post on Mother's Day
Most recently, Savannah addressed her missing mother through an Instagram post on Mother’s Day.
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie—we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you,” she wrote. “We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available.”
To conclude her plea for information, Savannah told her followers, “Please keep praying. Bring her home. 💛.”
