FBI release photos and video of potential suspect in Guthrie disappearance
The FBI on Tuesday released a series of surveillance photos recovered from the home of missing Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie. FBI Director Kash Patel described the masked individual pictured as armed and said the subject appears to have tampered with the camera.
“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,” Patel wrote on social media.
Guthrie, the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31.
That night, she attended dinner and game night at one of her daughter’s homes and was dropped back at her home just north of Tucson, Ariz. home by a family member around 9:48 p.m.
Officials say that several hours later, at 1:47 a.m., Guthrie’s doorbell camera disconnected. About a half hour after that, the camera detected movement, but until Tuesday, officials said they had been unable to retrieve the footage.
It wasn’t until the next day, when Guthrie did not show up for church, that the family was alerted that something might be wrong and the authorities were contacted.
An investigation of Guthrie’s house revealed blood on the front porch that DNA testing has proven to belong to the missing woman. And a camera from Guthrie’s home was reported missing.
The FBI has said that they are in possession of a ransom note from the people who say they abducted Guthrie.
The ransom note included two deadlines: one that passed last week on Thursday. The other expired Monday.
Guthrie’s three children – Annie, Camron and Savannah – have said that they are willing to cooperate with whoever is holding their mother, including paying her captors, and that they still believe their mother is alive.
In a video released on Instagram on Monday, Savannah Guthrie said: “We believe our mom is still out there.”
She also asked for prayers and tips regarding Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts.
