The Pima County Sheriff’s Department—the same department searching for missing Nancy Guthrie—is also starring in a new reality show about law enforcement.

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since the late-night hours of January 31, 2026, and while investigators have vetted tips, alleged ransom letters, and DNA evidence, no suspects have been named, and no arrests have been made.

According to TMZ, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department is the focus of a new reality series on A&E titled “Desert Law.”

The network sent an A&E production crew to Arizona last summer, during which they filmed the first season.

“Desert Law” follows several of the department’s deputies; however, Sheriff Chris Nanos is not involved.

The first season of the thrilling law enforcement reality series is airing now, with three additional episodes left.

Sources close to the production of “Desert Law” revealed that the team has not deployed cameras to capture any aspect of the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

Insiders also shared that they’re still waiting to learn whether the network will have the show return for a second season.

As shared above, Nancy Guthrie has been the subject of national news since she was reported missing on February 1, 2026.

A day later, Sheriff Nanos confirmed that Nancy’s Arizona home was a “crime” scene, and pleaded with her potential abductors to return her, stating that if she wasn’t properly cared for, she could die.

On February 3, Nanos told the media that he and his team believed Nancy had been forcibly taken from her home, but he couldn’t say where she might have been.

Over the next several days, Nancy’s children, including “TODAY” anchor Savannah Guthrie, shared emotional videos with the public and with their mother’s possible captors, begging for her safe return.

In one video, Savannah even offered to pay the hefty fee demanded in an ominous ransom note delivered to various media outlets, including TMZ and a local Arizona ABC affiliate.

On February 12, horrifying footage of a man, about 5’9″ to 5’10”, standing at Nancy’s doorbell and tampering with her doorbell camera, was shared online, sending a wave of concern through the public and Tucson community members.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Sheriff Nanos shared a grim update with the public on February 13, 2026, admitting that locating Nancy could be more difficult than some realize.

“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” he said. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”

Although investigators have received tips and leads that appeared to point them in the right direction, Arizona law enforcement officers have reached repeated dead ends, something Nanos described as “exhausting.”

“This has to be it, the evidence, everything’s there,” Nanos said. “Then you talk to people, you learn, you do your search, and you think, ‘Maybe not.'”
