Federal investigators have released critical surveillance footage showing a masked suspect tampering with security equipment at the Arizona home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who disappeared earlier this month. The footage comes as authorities intensify their search ahead of the two-week mark since her February 1 disappearance.
The newly unveiled images depict an unidentified individual wearing tactical gear and a visible gun holster manipulating Guthrie's Google Nest camera system on the morning she vanished. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the footage was extracted through advanced forensic methods during a February 10 press briefing.
With two unverified ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency payments already expired, the Guthrie family has released emotional video appeals while maintaining their offer to negotiate. The FBI's $50,000 reward for information marks a significant escalation in the high-profile case that has drawn national attention to Pima County.
Law enforcement officials emphasize the importance of the suspect's distinctive backpack visible in the footage, urging residents and travelers in southern Arizona to report any relevant sightings to the FBI's dedicated tip line.
