The search for Nancy Guthrie has taken a significant turn after investigators released new doorbell-camera footage from outside her Arizona home. The images show a masked individual at the front door, and officials say even small details—like clothing, posture, or a backpack—could help identify the person. Authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that might lead to a breakthrough.
Savannah Guthrie, host of NBC’s “Today,” shared the footage on social media, encouraging anyone who recognizes the individual to contact law enforcement. The family believes Nancy may still be alive, and investigators say the decision to release the images publicly followed consultation with the family. Neither relatives nor authorities immediately recognized the figure, making public input critical to potentially linking the visual clues to a real person.
Law enforcement has also focused on Rio Rico, Arizona, where a search warrant was executed at a home following a tip. One individual was detained for questioning but later released while the investigation continues. Officials have not confirmed whether that person is a suspect or was simply interviewed in connection with the search.
Experts analyzing the footage note that the figure appears calm and deliberate. The FBI continues to encourage the public to examine the images closely for identifying details. For the Guthrie family, the release of this footage represents more than evidence—it offers renewed hope and momentum in a case that has left them searching for answers, and the possibility that someone seeing a familiar detail could help bring Nancy home.
