URGENT UPDATE: New images have emerged showing an armed and masked individual tampering with the doorbell camera at the home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of television host Savannah Guthrie. The disturbing footage, released by the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department, captures the suspect attempting to block and damage the camera shortly after Guthrie’s abduction on February 1.
The images reveal a person dressed in a face mask, gloves, and a backpack, with what appears to be a gun holster prominently displayed. Law enforcement officials confirmed that the footage was retrieved from a Google Nest camera at Guthrie’s front door, where the camera was disabled in the early morning hours of her disappearance.
Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson home on January 31, just hours after family members dropped her off post-dinner. Authorities reported her missing when she failed to attend Sunday church services on February 1. She reportedly lost connection to her pacemaker’s phone in the early hours of that morning, indicating a possible abduction.
“This armed individual was seen tampering with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the day she disappeared,” FBI Director Kash Patel stated in a post on X. The release of these images comes amid no significant breakthroughs in the ongoing investigation.
In a desperate plea, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have circulated multiple videos urging the public to provide any tips and directly appeal to the kidnappers for her mother’s safe return. The family has expressed their willingness to pay a ransom, as indicated by at least two ransom notes that have surfaced through media channels.
Savannah Guthrie shared the chilling images on Instagram, captioning: “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home.” The emotional weight of this case is palpable, as family members grapple with the uncertainty of their loved one’s fate.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The public’s assistance could prove vital in ensuring the safe return of Nancy Guthrie.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated—every second counts in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
