Authorities have unveiled images and footage that may point to a suspect in the case of missing Arizona grandmother, Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 years old.
In reports by NBC News, the visuals depict what might be an armed individual linked to Guthrie’s disappearance. She was last accounted for at her home in Catalina Hills shortly before 10 p.m. on January 31.
FBI Director Kash Patel shared on X that, in collaboration with local partners, law enforcement has managed to retrieve previously inaccessible images. These show an armed person seemingly tampering with the surveillance camera at Guthrie’s front door on the morning she vanished.
Further evidence, including videos from Guthrie’s Nest doorbell camera, has been recovered by the FBI. The suspect in these clips is seen wearing a mask, a long-sleeved zip-up shirt, a backpack, pants, and gloves.
Patel also noted that one of the videos captures the suspect with a gun in a holster, adding a crucial detail to the ongoing investigation.

The FBI also recovered additional videos, taken from Guthrie’s Nest doorbell camera. The suspect is seen wearing a mask, a long-sleeved zip-up shirt, a backpack, pants, and gloves.
Patel said one of the videos shows the suspect with a holstered gun.
The suspect appeared to have been attempting to tamper with the camera with a glove, before grabbing some flowers and placing them in front of the camera.
Family members said Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, after having dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie’s residence. A family member then dropped her off at home.
Nancy’s family reported her missing at around noon on February 1, after she missed church. Nancy has been identified as the mother of “Today” show host, Savannah Guthrie.
“We do, in fact, have a crime,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said last week, as CrimeOnline previously reported.
Investigators later found blood on her front porch, confirmed to be Nancy’s. Officials said that around 1:47 a.m. on February 1, Nancy’s doorbell camera had been disconnected. At 2 a.m., Nancy’s pacemaker pinged her phone.
At around 2:12 a.m., security camera software detected movement, Nanos said, although he could not confirm where the movement came from.
Meanwhile, at least three news outlets, including TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN, have received ransom notes, demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.
KOLD reported that the outlet received a note demanding the payment before 5 p.m. MST Monday. The note reportedly “threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie” if the $6 million in Bitcoin is not received.
Initially, ransom notes sent to both KOLD and KGUN demanded $4 million in Bitcoin, with a deadline of February 5. The notes indicated that the payment would increase to $6 million on February 9 if the payment had not been made.
The ransom notes reportedly did not provide any proof of life or a way for loved ones to communicate with Nancy Guthrie, who needs daily medication to survive.
On Thursday, the FBI announced a $50,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone associated with Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
