Photos of person of interest in Nancy Guthrie disappearance case released
Authorities have released newly recovered surveillance images as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen at her home just outside Tucson, Arizona.
According to the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, investigators have spent the past eight days working alongside private-sector partners to recover critical digital evidence from Guthrie’s residence.
Officials said some video data had been lost, corrupted, or rendered inaccessible due to multiple factors, including the apparent removal of recording devices.
The footage was ultimately retrieved from residual data stored within backend systems.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the newly uncovered images appear to show a masked, armed individual tampering with the camera at Guthrie’s front door on the morning she disappeared. The images are now being shared with the public in hopes of generating leads.
Authorities urge anyone with information related to the case to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov.
Senior law enforcement officials told NBC News that investigators are expected to release a surveillance photo of a possible suspect as the search intensifies.
The development comes as Guthrie’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, issued a public plea for help in a video posted to social media. The “Today” show host described the family as being at “an hour of desperation,” adding, “We believe our mother is still out there. We need your help.”
Investigators believe Nancy Guthrie may have been abducted from her home. She was last seen on January 31 and was reported missing the following day after she failed to attend church services.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously stated that DNA testing confirmed blood found on Guthrie’s front porch belonged to her.
Additionally, her doorbell camera had been disconnected during the early morning hours, raising further concerns about suspicious activity.
Detectives and federal agents have continued follow-up operations at multiple locations connected to the investigation.
Over the weekend, authorities were observed conducting investigative work at the home of Guthrie’s daughter, located approximately four miles from Nancy Guthrie’s residence. Investigators were also seen searching an underground tank behind Guthrie’s property.
Despite extensive efforts, officials say they have not yet identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles linked to the case.
Authorities have expressed growing concern for Guthrie’s well-being, noting that she requires daily medication and has several serious health conditions, including a pacemaker, high blood pressure, and heart-related issues.
The investigation remains active and ongoing as law enforcement continues to pursue all available leads.
Additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Jared Llamado Identified as Suspect in Fatal I-495 Road Rage Stabbing
Troopers kill alleged I-495 road-rage stabber who left 1 dead, 3 hurt
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Virginia State Police have identified the suspect in Sunday’s fatal road rage stabbing along Interstate 495 as 32-year-old Jared Llamado of McLean, Virginia.
According to authorities, troopers responded at approximately 1:17 p.m. to reports of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 near Exit 52.
Upon arrival, officers discovered four individuals suffering from stab wounds.
One of the victims, 39-year-old Michelle Adams, later died from her injuries.
A dog at the scene was also fatally stabbed.
Three additional victims were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries.
Investigators state that the stabbings occurred following a vehicle crash on the highway.
When troopers encountered Llamado, he was still armed with a knife believed to be the weapon used in the attack.
Police said he confronted officers and failed to comply with commands, prompting a trooper to discharge his firearm in self-defense. Llamado was pronounced dead at the scene.
The involved trooper was not injured during the encounter.
Video circulated online appears to show a female bystander attempting to intervene during the attack on Adams.
Authorities believe that individual may have also been stabbed while trying to stop the assault, though officials have not publicly confirmed specific victim identities beyond Adams.
The Virginia State Police emphasized that the incident is not believed to be terrorism-related.
The motive remains under investigation.
The violence caused significant traffic disruptions, with all southbound lanes of I-495’s Outer Loop between Gallows Road and Little River Turnpike temporarily closed for several hours. The roadway has since reopened.
The investigation remains ongoing.
