Ransom Notes, Released Suspects, and New Videos: Latest Developments in the Nancy Guthrie Case

The video shows a person wearing gloves and a mask appearing to tamper with the camera at Guthrie’s front door.

As the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, continues on its tenth day, law enforcement has released a surveillance video showing a potential suspect in her disappearance. 

Nancy Guthrie is 84 years old and was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona the night of January 31st. She was reported missing around noon on February 1st. 

“Working with our partners, as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance,” said FBI Director Kash Patel in a social media post

Patel said authorities “have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.” 

The black-and-white video shows a masked individual wearing gloves outside of Nancy Guthrie’s door. The person appears to tamper with the camera. 

Savannah Guthrie shared the video posted by the FBI on her social media account. It shows the person in a dark jacket and light-colored pants carrying a backpack as they approach the door of Nancy’s home. 

“Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home,” Savannah Guthrie wrote online. 

The Guthrie family and law enforcement do not recognize the potential suspect in the video. 

Law enforcement is asking members of the public with any information to come forward. 

“We respectfully ask that only actionable tips be submitted through one of the following channels: 1-800-CALL-FBI, 88-CRIME, 520-351-4900, or tips.fbi.gov,” wrote the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. 

The FBI has also launched a webpage with details about Nancy Guthrie in an effort to make progress in locating her. The webpage includes photos of Nancy, as well as the recovered footage from her front door camera. 

The webpage notes that Nancy “is considered to be a vulnerable adult who has difficulty walking, has a pacemaker, and needs daily medication for a heart condition.”
