The FBI has released new surveillance photographs and video footage of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.
FBI Director Kash Patel shared four black-and-white images and two short video clips on social media on Tuesday. The footage shows a person wearing gloves, a mask and a backpack appearing to tamper with a doorbell camera outside Guthrie’s home in Tucson on the morning she disappeared.
In the images, the individual’s eyes are visible through holes in their mask. Patel said the person appears to be armed, with at least one video showing what looks to be a holstered gun.
According to the FBI, the material was recovered from “residual data located in backend systems” and had previously been inaccessible to investigators.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office, which is leading the investigation, confirmed the release of the footage and said no public briefings are planned at this time.
The images show the logo of Nest, a smart doorbell system owned by Google, suggesting the footage was captured from the home’s security equipment.
Savannah Guthrie shared one of the images on Instagram, urging the public to come forward with information.
“We believe she is still alive. Bring her home,” she wrote, alongside contact details for the FBI and local authorities.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on 1 February after failing to attend a virtual church service. She was last seen the previous evening, around 9:45pm, after having dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie’s home.
Her disappearance prompted a large-scale search involving state and federal agencies. Several media outlets have reported receiving ransom notes linked to the case, though authorities have not yet verified their authenticity.
In a recent video appeal, Savannah Guthrie said her family believed her mother was “still out there” and asked for continued public support.
Sheriff Chris Nanos has said Nancy Guthrie does not suffer from cognitive impairment but has limited mobility and requires daily medication. He warned that missing her medication “could be fatal”.
Investigators have also confirmed that Guthrie’s pacemaker disconnected from its monitoring app in the early hours of 1 February, shortly after she was last known to be at home.
