In Arizona, authorities acted on a tip-off from a neighbor and seized a vehicle along with a wired camera from Nancy Guthrie’s property. The vehicle, parked in her garage, and the camera, mounted on her roof, were both subjects of interest.
On Friday, a tow truck was dispatched to Guthrie’s residence in the Catalina Foothills, situated north of Tucson, to remove a Blue Subaru SUV, reportedly belonging to Guthrie, according to Fox News.
The SUV is currently held at an impound facility close to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. While police have not disclosed the specific reasons for the vehicle’s seizure, the confiscation followed a thorough search of the premises.
Video evidence shows FBI agents climbing onto Guthrie’s roof to retrieve what appears to be a surveillance camera, adding another layer to the unfolding investigation.
Footage captured FBI agents scaling the roof of Guthrie’s home before grabbing what is believed to be a camera.
According to retired NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro, the device could have been overlooked during the first days of the investigation.
“Apparently on that roof, the agents recovered a new camera, a camera that apparently they hadn’t been aware of and they took it into their custody. I don’t know anymore than that as to why it hadn’t been recovered, what it might see,” Mauro told Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Friday.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The update comes shortly after it was reported that police were on the hunt for a car possibly linked to Guthrie’s disappearance.
A Circle K spokesperson alleged on Friday that law officials reached out to one of their stores on Oracle Road in Tucson after “receiving a tip regarding a vehicle of interest, and our team has provided them access to the store’s surveillance video.”
Nancy, who is the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1, after she missed church service. She was last seen on Jan. 31 around 9:45 p.m. after having dinner with some family members.
The last known person to see her was her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, who dropped her off at her home.
On Monday, police declared Nancy’s home was being treated as a crime scene. She was believed to be “taken from the home against her will,” possibly while she was sleeping.
Since her disappearance, several ransom notes have been reported. On Tuesday, TMZ reported that the outlet received an alleged note demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin be paid in exchange for Nancy’s release.
In a Thursday press conference, FBI Phoenix Special Agent Heith Janke revealed that a ransom note had been sent demanding a “transfer” be sent by a 5 p.m. MT deadline that day.
After the first deadline passed, Savannah’s brother, Camron, issued a statement begging Nancy’s purported captor to send proof that she’s alive.
