FBI Investigating New Footage of Possible Intruder Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home
The FBI and Pima County police are reportedly investigating new footage of a possible intruder approaching a home near where Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared.
TMZ has obtained Ring camera footage that showed a goateed person approaching the front door of a home located 6.5 miles away from where Nancy lives in the Tucson, Arizona, area. The footage — which was apparently shot one week before Nancy’s disappearance — shows a person backing up to the door before turning around to seemingly tamper with a security camera.
The security video was reportedly recorded at 5 a.m. PT on January 23. The homeowner posted the footage on Ring’s Neighbors app and wrote that the alleged intruder rang the doorbell before ultimately fleeing when a dog started barking.
A law enforcement source connected to the Guthrie case told TMZ that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are aware of the footage and are actively investigating it. While there is no definitive link between this possible intruder and the suspect in the Guthrie case, both appeared to have similar facial hair. (Separate security videos showed that the suspect in the Guthrie case had visible facial hair even while wearing a ski mask.)
Nancy Guthrie‘s neighbor is speaking out after the FBI released surveillance footage of a possible subject amid the search for Savannah Guthrie‘s mother. “It was startling and a bit terrifying,” Laura Gargano, who has lived around the corner from Nancy, 84, for over a decade, told CNN on Wednesday, February 11. “But I immediately went […]
Us Weekly has reached out to law enforcement for comment.
An FBI spokesperson told Us: “The FBI does not provide comment on ongoing investigations.”
On Thursday, February 12, the FBI released an official description of the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In [a newly-obtained security] video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.” Federal officials confirmed they’d received 13,000 tips from the public related to Nancy’s disappearance — and were doubling their offer from $50,000 to $100,000 for any information that led to her rescue or recovery.
“Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” FBI Phoenix announced via X on Thursday. “New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.”

The last known sighting of Nancy was in Tucson, Arizona, on January 31, when she had dinner with her family.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously confirmed that Nancy’s family placed a 911 call on February 1 when she failed to turn up to watch a church service with friends. A search and rescue investigation was initiated by the Pima police that same day.
President Donald Trump confirmed federal intervention in the case via Truth Social on February 4 when he announced that he was “directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal.”
“We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely. The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY,” Trump added.
On Tuesday, February 10, FBI Director Kash Patel released new surveillance photos and footage shot from Nancy’s security camera. The footage seemingly showed a masked person standing on Nancy’s porch and attempting to cover a camera.
“Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices,” Patel announced via X. “The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.”
Following the release of these new images, Savannah assured the public that she and her siblings, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, were holding out hope that Nancy “is still alive.”
“Bring her home,” the Today host pleaded via Instagram on February 10.
On Wednesday, February 11, the NBC News journalist shared vintage home videos of Nancy via Instagram along with a message asking supporters to keep the faith.
“Our lovely mom,” she captioned the video. “We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope.”
