However, the reported amount has not been officially confirmed by Savannah Guthrie, her representatives, or law enforcement. This figure remains an unconfirmed claim as authorities continue to investigate.
Did Savannah Guthrie hire a private investigator?
A recent report suggested that Savannah Guthrie may have spent as much as $500,000 on private investigators and outside experts searching for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The claim stemmed from a report by The US Sun, which cited an anonymous source who claimed that Guthrie had invested significant amounts of money into private efforts because he felt that relying solely on the official investigation was not enough.
According to the report, the source claimed that Savannah was determined to find answers and was willing to devote major financial resources to the investigation.
But there is no independent verification that Savannah Guthrie actually spent $500,000 on private detectives. According to a report, neither Savannah, its representatives nor law enforcement have confirmed the reported figure.
What did Brian Entin say about the report?
The allegation gained further attention after NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin addressed the situation during a speech on Jesse Weber Live at CrimeCon in Las Vegas.
Entin said he has not heard any information confirming the involvement of private investigators in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
While he acknowledged that Savannah Guthrie was understandably frustrated with the pace of the investigation, he explained that he could not independently verify reports about the $500,000 private investigative effort. According to a report by The Sunday Guardian, the claim could not be verified due to lack of official confirmation.
