FBI Releases Unsettling Images and Video of Heavily Disguised Suspect in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping

The FBI released disturbing surveillance images of a masked and gloved suspect connected with the mysterious disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie. It appears to be a significant development in the case, which to this point has confounded the public and law enforcement. On Tuesday afternoon, FBI Director Kash Patel released four black-and-white surveillance images taken from the doorbell camera of the Tucson home of Nancy Guthrie of a masked individual tampering with the camera on the morning of her disappearance. The FBI statement said the figure was armed, although a weapon was not apparent in the four images, suggesting that the FBI has more images it has not shared.Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the evening of January 31, 2026, at her home. Via NBCMr. Patel said both the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department worked closely with private sector partners to recover footage and images that may have been lost after Ms. Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected hours before her family reported her missing on February 1.Mr. Patel added that “as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”The suspect is wearing heavy gloves. FBIMr. Patel also released videos of the suspect with his head lowered as he walks to the doorbell camera. He appears to cover the camera with his hand before taking plants from the ground and using them to do so. Because Ms. Guthrie did not have an active subscription with Google’s Nest, which made the doorbell camera, authorities were previously unable to recover footage captured by the camera’s software. All three Guthrie siblings made an impassioned plea for their mother’s return on Instagram. Instagram Last week, law enforcement officers were seen entering Ms. Guthrie’s residence with a silver Cellebrite suitcase — an Israeli device that can extract data from servers and devices that are otherwise lost or deleted. The surveillance images released today had previously been inaccessible.Multiple ransom notes from the purported kidnappers have been sent to media outlets demanding millions of dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency for Ms. Guthrie’s release — the authenticity of which was verified by TMZ. The Guthrie family, however, did not pay the ransom ahead of either of the two deadlines set forth in the notes, both of which passed without incident or new developments, including a deadline that expired Monday night.The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are advising anyone with information related to Ms. Guthrie’s disappearance to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov
