Federal authorities have released the first surveillance images connected to the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. The footage shows a masked individual wearing a backpack approaching Guthrie’s front porch and appearing to tamper with a doorbell camera on the night she went missing. The images were recovered from residual data by the FBI and its partners after the camera was initially disconnected.
Law enforcement has not identified any suspects or officially declared the individual in the footage a suspect or person of interest, and no arrests have been announced. Authorities are urging the public to help with identification and continue to seek any information that could lead to Guthrie’s whereabouts.
Guthrie’s family, including her daughter, journalist Savannah Guthrie, has appealed to the public for information and assistance, urging anyone with potential leads to contact law enforcement. A ransom note purportedly linked to the case has circulated, but officials have not verified its authenticity or established contact with anyone holding Guthrie.
The investigation remains active, with authorities continuing to analyze evidence and follow leads. Guthrie’s condition and location remain unknown as search efforts continue in Arizona and beyond.
