Authorities Release New Video Of Potential Suspect In Nancy Guthrie Disappearance
Federal investigators have released new surveillance video and images connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, as the search enters a critical phase and pressure mounts for fresh leads.
The newly released footage shows a masked individual approaching Guthrie’s Tucson-area home during the overnight hours when she is believed to have vanished.
Authorities say the individual appears to tamper with or disable a security camera outside the residence, a detail investigators now believe may be central to understanding how the disappearance unfolded.
Law enforcement officials say that the individual seen in the video has not been officially named a suspect. Instead, they are referring to the person as a “subject” or “person of interest” and are asking the public to help identify the individual or provide information about their movements.
WATCH:
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing after failing to attend a routine church-related gathering earlier this month. Authorities later determined that she had last been seen at her home, where signs of a struggle were allegedly discovered. Investigators have since treated the case as a possible abduction.
The video release comes after Savannah Guthrie shared a new emotional plea for help, describing the situation as an “hour of desperation” for the family and urging anyone with information to come forward. Guthrie has repeatedly expressed hope that her mother is still alive and in need of assistance.
WATCH:
According to law enforcement, the surveillance footage was recovered as part of an expanded digital sweep that included home security systems and nearby devices in the surrounding neighborhood. Investigators say additional footage is still being analyzed, and more evidence could be released if it becomes relevant to the public search.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly named. The FBI and local law enforcement continue to urge anyone who recognizes the individual in the footage or who noticed suspicious activity in the area on the night of the disappearance to contact authorities immediately. Tips can be submitted anonymously.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
