Nancy Guthrie's abductor conspired with up to four other accomplices, claimed a former Pima County detective.
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.
Investigators have previously released surveillance footage that showed a masked man at Nancy's doorstep on the night she disappeared.
The individual appeared armed and was observed tampering with a security camera mounted near the entrance.
Retired Pima County homicide detective Kurt Dabb believes the man in the footage worked with 'two to four accomplices'; however, they may have failed to notice the camera during their surveillance.
'I believe there are anywhere between two to four accomplices,' Dabb told Parade.
'The logistics of something of this magnitude is too much for one person to handle in my professional opinion based on the facts as I know them right now.'

Dabb believes the group surveilled Nancy's house before the abduction, but it is possible they did not know about the doorbell camera.
'It's more than likely the home was canvassed prior, either by the kidnapper himself or an accomplice. Whether or not they knew a camera was there was a culmination of their reconnaisance,' he said.
One thing that Dabbs seems to be certain about is that he believes Nancy's abduction was not the result of a burglary gone wrong.
'Burglars don't go to burglarize a house with a full backpack. This was a kidnapping,' he said.
As investigators continue their desperate search for Nancy, it has emerged that footage of her riding in an Uber on the day she vanished has been turned over to the FBI.
The surveillance video shows Nancy in the rideshare vehicle while en route to her daughter Annie's house, Crime Stories with Nancy Grace reported.
The Uber driver gave police all the footage captured from inside their vehicle, the crime show revealed. The clip has not been released to the public.
Police received the footage during the early stages of their investigation and have since found 'nothing of substance' in connection with the ride.

Nancy's Uber driver was interviewed at length, but police determined the ride on January 31 was 'just a regular pick up and drop off.'
The footage has not been publicly shared.
The mother of three returned home just before 10pm. Annie's husband, Tommaso Cioni, gave her a ride home.
Savannah and her close family have endured continual heartbreak amid a massive but so far fruitless search by the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI.
The Guthrie family has announced a $1 million reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the return of their mother.
The FBI has also offered $100,000 for information that leads to Nancy's rescue.
