Nancy Guthrie Update: Brian Entin Sets Record Straight on Savannah Hiring Private Investigator
Brian Entin just set the record straight regarding reports that Today co-host Savannah Guthrie hired a private investigator to search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, following her abduction in Tucson, Ariz.
On the Monday, June 8 episode of Brian Entin Investigates, the NewsNation senior investigative reporter refuted the claims.
"There's something I wanted to clear up. There was a report that Savannah Guthrie had hired private investigators-and I think the report said, like, spent $500,000 on private investigators," he acknowledged. "Which I was always very skeptical of. And I actually said on my show once before that I just had a hard time believing that because of the sources that I have. I think I would have heard that by now."
Entin added, "But the report kind of went everywhere. I saw a lot of people talking about it. And I have now confirmed that that is not true."
He then reiterated, "So that report, I am told, is not true. Savannah Guthrie did not spend $500,000 on private investigators. It is just the Pima County Sheriff's Office and the FBI that are investigating this case right now."

Additionally, Entin addressed Savannah's hopeful social media update over the weekend.
"It's just a reminder, again, what Savannah Guthrie is going through, what the Guthrie family is going through, what Annie is going through, what Camron is going through," he pointed out. "I mean, again, sometimes I get so wrapped up in the investigation and start tracing down all these little leads and bits and pieces of information that I find. Sometimes I also like to have a moment to remember that, you know, there's a family hurting right now."
Nancy, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1, after her family last saw her on the evening of Jan. 31. As of writing, no suspect has been named in the case despite the investigation dragging on for over four months.
