FBI releases images of masked, armed person at Nancy Guthrie’s door
In the footage, the individual appears to tamper with a camera at the home of TV host Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother
Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie released the first surveillance images on Tuesday showing a masked person on her porch the night she went missing, as law enforcement and her family intensified calls for public help more than a week into the search.
Law enforcement searching for the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie has not identified any suspects or persons of interest, and it is unclear if she is still alive.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted the images on social media.
“The video was recovered from residual data located in back end systems,” Patel wrote, saying the images show “an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance”.
Video released by the FBI shows the person wearing a backpack, long sleeves and pants walk up to the door and try to conceal a camera with a glove before turning around, grabbing some plants and then putting them in front of the camera.
Investigators had been hopeful that cameras at the home would turn up some evidence about how she went missing, but the doorbell camera was disconnected early on Sunday.
