Authorities have apprehended a suspect linked to the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, co-host of the TODAY show, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. The arrest marks a pivotal development in the case that has garnered significant attention.
Earlier this week, the FBI’s renowned hostage rescue team was dispatched to Tucson, bolstering the efforts with the support of several SWAT teams spread across multiple counties. This extensive operation followed the public release of images and video footage by the FBI. The materials showed a masked figure approaching Nancy Guthrie’s front door and attempting to disable the Nest security camera, suggesting a calculated plan to avoid detection.
