Armed
Intruder
Captured
on
Camera
Moments
Before
Nancy
Guthrie
Vanished
Derick

TUCSON,
AZ - In
a
significant
breakthrough
on
Tuesday,
February
10,
2026,
the FBI
and the
Pima
County
Sheriff’s
Department
released
the
first
surveillance
images
and
video of
a masked
subject
believed
to be
involved
in the
kidnapping
of
84-year-old
Nancy
Guthrie.
The
footage,
which
investigators
successfully
recovered
from
"residual
backend
data" of
a
disconnected
Nest
doorbell
camera,
shows an
armed
individual
wearing
a
backpack,
gloves,
and a
balaclava-style
mask.
In one
chilling
moment
from the
newly
released
footage,
the
subject
is seen
holding
a piece
of
desert
brush up
to the
lens in
an
apparent
attempt
to
obscure
the
camera's
view
before
eventually
dismantling
the
device.
These
images
represent
the most
substantial
physical
lead
since
Guthrie,
the
mother
of TODAY
show
host
Savannah
Guthrie,
was
abducted
from her
Tucson
home in
the
early
hours of
February
1.
The
release
of this
evidence
comes at
what
Savannah
Guthrie
has
described
as an
"hour of
desperation,"
following
the
expiration
of a
5:00
p.m.
ransom
deadline
on
Monday.
While
the
family
had
publicly
signaled
their
willingness
to pay a
reported
$6
million
in
cryptocurrency
to
secure
her
release,
federal
authorities
stated
today
that
they are
currently
unaware
of any
"continued
communication"
between
the
family
and the
abductors.
The
investigation
has been
further
complicated
by the
fact
that
Nancy
Guthrie
requires
daily
medication
for high
blood
pressure
and a
heart
condition—concerns
that
have
grown
more
acute as
the
search
enters
its
second
week.
Federal
agents
have
significantly
expanded
their
footprint
in the
Catalina
Foothills,
with
specialized
crisis
management
teams
and
analytic
support
deploying
to a
24-hour
command
post in
Tucson.
Despite
the new
visual
evidence,
law
enforcement
officials
have yet
to name
a
specific
suspect
or
person
of
interest,
and the
FBI is
continuing
to offer
a
$50,000
reward
for
information
leading
to
Nancy's
recovery.
Savannah
Guthrie
took to
social
media
shortly
after
the
photos
were
released,
pleading
with the
public
to
examine
the
images
closely,
stating,
"Someone
out
there
recognizes
this
person.
We
believe
she is
still
out
there.
Bring
her
home."
