Chilling resurfaced Today show footage showed the inside of Nancy Guthrie's bedroom, where investigators believe she was abducted six weeks ago.

Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother was abducted from her $1 million Tucson, Arizona home in the early hours of February 1.

No suspects have been named, and there have been no arrests in the over a month-long investigation.

A clip from 2013 showed Nancy, then 71, giving Savannah and her Today show colleagues a tutorial on making the perfect bed from inside that very home.

'Well, I think everybody needs to know how to make a bed. So, when the time came to teach [Savannah and her siblings] how to make a bed, this is what I tried to teach you,' Nancy said.

Former host Natalie Morales joked that Nancy's sheets were tucked so tightly that she 'could bounce a quarter off of it.'

'Natalie, don't put me to the test. It’s way too early,' Nancy quipped before going into step-by-step directions on the hospital corner bed-making technique.

'All three of the kids thought [bed-making] was a really worthless skill,' she added before signing off.

Savannah chimed in, 'I'll teach you a skill, it's called "napping," when you're up at these hours. Love you, Mom.'

Nancy has lived in the same home since the 1970s, and police believe she was taken from her bedroom in the early hours of February 1.

Megyn Kelly, who resurfaced the footage on her show Wednesday, theorized that Nancy's beige bedroom might still look the same as it did over a decade ago.

'The point is, you can see right into her bedroom, generally the way it was and the way it was set up. And she lives in the same house,' Kelly said.

FBI agents were once again seen canvassing Nancy's neighborhood last week as fears grow that she may never be found.

The journey back to the Tucson street comes as Sheriff Chris Nanos has reportedly cut the number of agents assigned to the case, as no new definite leads have come forward.

Nanos has admitted that his deputies are still missing key points of information, but said they're 'definitely closer' to getting a suspect, he told NBC News.

'I've said this from the beginning: I have full faith, full confidence, they're going to solve this,' he said.

The United Cajun Navy offered last week to assist with the search, but Nanos reportedly declined their proposal.

Investigators have previously released surveillance footage of a masked man at 84-year-old Guthrie's home prior to her abduction on February 1.

Guthrie's family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Guthrie's recovery.

The grandmother was last seen around 10pm on January 31 after returning from her daughter Annie's home, where she had dinner.

Guthrie's children, including Today Show host Savannah, have pleaded with her captors to return their mother home safely.

In the clip announcing the lucrative cash reward, Savannah said she realizes her mother may no longer be alive but begged Nancy's captors to help give her family some closure.

Savannah returned to the Today Show studio this week, although she has not yet been back on air.

The TV host was seen in images first revealed by TMZ hugging staff and crew at the studio in Manhattan, New York City, on March 5.

NBC told the Daily Mail in a statement that Savannah plans to return to the air eventually, but her visit was 'to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues.'

A former FBI agent believes the decision to refuse civilian search efforts in the hunt for Nancy Guthrie means an arrest could be near.

Jennifer Coffindaffer explained that investigators' choice to decline additional help could be an indication they are getting close to taking someone into custody.

Her comments came after volunteer-led search and rescue group, the United Cajun Navy, offered last week to assist Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos in the search for Nancy, 84.

The group submitted a 41-page proposal describing a massive operation including two dozen canines, former law enforcement volunteers and drones ready to be deployed.

However, the offer allegedly went unanswered even as the search for missing Nancy, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, entered its sixth week.

'Wondering why Sheriff Nanos keeps turning away proven very capable civilian search experts like EquuSearch and the real Cajun Navy?' Coffindaffer, a former SWAT team member, wrote on X.
'Is [law enforcement] close to an arrest and they know what happened to Nancy so they don't want to waste the valuable resources of these groups? But why won't the sheriff at least acknowledge these groups?' Coffindaffer said she was trying to take a 'glass half full' view of the news and hoped police were getting closer to an arrest.

The United Cajun Navy pitched a proposal titled Tactical Operational Packet: Search for Nancy Guthrie to Nanos last week, according to NewsNation's Brian Entin.

The volunteer group said it was prepared to offer support on the ground and in the water using volunteers, drones and thermal technology.
