A new report by Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice Substack has claimed that Savannah Guthrie is “incredibly upset” after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stopped personally communicating with the family amid the search for Nancy Guthrie. After more than 100 days since Nancy went missing, her family is no longer in contact with the local sheriff.
Nanos previously claimed that all communication with Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, has been through other investigators working the case. Nanos told People that he is not “personally” in touch with the family, and they have been communicating with local police detectives and FBI agents.
“If they need the family for anything, they get in touch with them and the family. It works both ways,” he said.

“That was incredibly upsetting for Savannah,” an insider told Naughty But Nice. “She expected urgency and direct communication. Instead, she feels the investigation became distant and procedural.”
Savannah Guthrie has reportedly hired private investigators
The report also claimed that Savannah has hired private investigators to find her missing mother. “Savannah is paying whatever it takes to keep this search active,” a source said on Tuesday, May 26. “She refuses to rely solely on law enforcement.”
Insiders told Naughty But Nice that Savannah “continues to bankroll a large private search effort more than 100 days” after Nancy’s disappearance, the report said. They said that Savannah has assembled a team of private detectives, former federal agents, and security specialists working around the clock to follow leads connected to her mother’s case. Friends have claimed that the ‘Today’ show host has grown “increasingly frustrated” with the pace of the official investigation.

Savannah has refused to consider scaling it back even though the cost of maintaining a private operation has become huge, sources said.
“Money doesn’t matter to her right now,” one insider said. “This is about finding her mother. If more investigators, more security, or more resources help, she’ll keep paying for them.”
“She still believes her mom can be found,” the source added. “That’s why the private investigators are still working every single day.”
