  Armed Intruder Captured on Camera Moments Before Nancy Guthrie Vanished

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."
