Savannah Guthrie mom case latest updates: Investigation remains 'active,' authorities say

The latest update came from the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which issued a statement on Feb. 21 maintaining that the investigation remains "active." The update came at the end of a week in which there appeared to be few major developments in the search.

"There have been no changes to resources in this investigation," the Pima County Sheriff's Department said on Feb. 21. "There may be fluctuations day to day based on investigative leads. Several hundred law enforcement personnel remain dedicated to this case. This will remain an active investigation until Nancy Guthrie is found or all leads are exhausted."

The sheriff's department also confirmed that detectives and agents were back in the Guthrie neighborhood on Feb. 21 "canvassing as part of the investigation," without providing further details.

The search for Savannah Guthrie's missing mother Nancy is entering its fourth week.

In aninterview with NBC Newson Feb. 20, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the pace of the investigation, telling the network, "Sometimes things take time." But he added that the investigation is "still growing," not shrinking, "in terms of leads and working and getting out there."

"We're not quitting," Nanos told NBC. "We'll find her."

Is there a suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case?

Authorities are still working to identify the masked man seen at Guthrie's front door the morning she disappeared indoorbell camera footage releasedearlier this month, though the sheriff's department said Feb. 20 that authorities are not "ruling out the possibility that more than one person may be involved."

But speaking toNBC News on Feb. 20, Nanos said that "we're getting a little closer to identifying some of the other articles" of clothing worn by the man in the footage, including the person's shoes, pants and jacket.

The FBI previously said the man in the surveillance video is "approximately 5'9"-5'10" tall, with an average build." He waswearing an Ozark Trail Hiker Pack, a backpack sold exclusively at Walmart. Last week, the sheriff's department said investigators are working with Walmart to identify the person who purchased the backpack.

The clothing seen in the video "may have been purchased from Walmart but is not exclusively available at Walmart," the sheriff's department said on Feb. 16.
