One expert on Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, claimed the investigation will not become a "cold case" even six months down the line.
NewsNation's Brian Entin revealed his thoughts on Nancy's case after the 84-year-old went missing from her Tucson, Ariz., home in the early morning hours of February 1.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office and the FBI have been investigating the idea that the woman was forcibly removed from her residence, but few leads have been offered since.
'There's Going to Be a Resolution'

Brian Entin said 'there's going to be a resolution' in Nancy Guthrie's case.
"I really still feel that there’s going to be a resolution and that [detectives are] going to solve it," Brian told Us Weekly. "I just know through my sources how many people are working behind the scenes."
The senior national news correspondent is confident that Savannah and her family could still receive the answers they have been desperately searching for despite numerous setbacks.
"With other cases that go cold, they might have one detective that looks into it every once in a while, or they say it’s technically still open. With this case, there’s a dedicated task force," he pointed out. "There are still FBI agents and detectives whose entire full-time job is just the Nancy Guthrie case every single day, and they all meet together every single day."

Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Arizona home in February.
At the case's six-month mark, the sheriff's office revealed that there were still thousands of pieces of video evidence to go through, as they surveilled neighborhood cameras for her potential captor.
Ransom notes released by police suggested that the missing mother could have died from heart-related health issues during her kidnapping and been buried in nature.
As investigators sort through evidence, Brian pointed out there could soon be a DNA breakthrough.
"I also have faith in the DNA. I’ve learned a lot about how much that technology is changing, and just other parts of science," he explained. "There are advances every single week. They’re able to do things they weren’t able to do not that long ago with DNA testing."

Brian Entin explained there is even pressure on Donald Trump in Nancy Guthrie's case.
"I’m hopeful that eventually there’ll be a break on that front," he added.
This case, unlike many other missing persons investigations, has expanded to a national level. Brian noted that having the entire country watching could add pressure to finding closure for the Guthrie family.
"I can’t think of another case I’ve covered where there was this level, I think, of pressure on law enforcement for it to be solved,” the journalist explained. “It goes all the way to the very top with [President Donald Trump and] people asking and concerned that it’s not solved and what’s going on."
“I think they just connected with it because they feel something for Nancy. You think about your own mom. You think about your own grandma,” he went on. “I think all of us who have older parents are always a little worried about them being alone. Do they have what they need? Are they still OK by themselves? Do they need security cameras? Do they remember to lock the door at night? … It was less about Savannah, and it was more just how does this nice older woman just vanish in the night? And there are no answers."
"I think the agents and the detectives feel that," the reporter concluded. "I just think eventually there’s going to be a lucky break."
'Eventually There's Going to Be a Break'

Savannah Guthrie pleaded for help finding her mother Nancy Guthrie.
Savannah took to her social media last month to beg anyone who knows anything about her mother's disappearance to come forward, while declaring her family will not lose hope.
"I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing," she said.
Brian echoed Savannah's message of hope, adding that he is confident a resolution can still be found.
“I would tell you if I thought that it was becoming a cold case,” he shared. “I would just tell you if I was getting that vibe. But I still think every day, I’m like, ‘Today could be the day.’ I think that there’s just too many people working on it, and I think eventually there’s going to be a break.”
