The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is the focal point of A&E’s new reality series Desert Law, but Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance will not be featured.
The department — which is currently investigating the disappearance of Today host Savannah Guthrie’s mother — reportedly filmed the current season, which is airing now, last year.

Despite the media and public attention surrounding the case, Guthrie’s disappearance will not play out on the reality show.
According to TMZ, production sources told the outlet, “They have not been filming Desert Law during the Nancy Guthrie investigation…[and] they’re not looking to do reshoots.”
Desert Law, which airs Wednesdays on A&E, has not yet been renewed for a second season. But TMZ reported that “even if they do renew the show, our sources say it wouldn’t follow the Nancy Guthrie case.”

The 84-year-old was last seen January 31 after a family dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie’s house. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, along with the FBI, have been hunting down leads in her kidnapping.
Investigators released a description of the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.”
