Surveillance photos and video of the suspect in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, have been released by law enforcement.
The visual was released to the public on Tuesday after the FBI revealed that Nancy’s alleged kidnappers have not contacted Savannah and her family since the $6 million ransom deadline passed at 5pm MT/7pm ET on Monday.
The snapshot showed an unidentified masked person, fully clothed and wearing gloves, outside the door of Nancy’s Arizona home.
“Over the past eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office have continued to work closely with our private sector partners to recover images and video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, destroyed, or otherwise inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices,” a statement released to reporters Tuesday said.
“The video was recovered from residual data on our back-end systems. As of this morning, working with our partners, law enforcement has discovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual who appears to have tampered with Nancy Guthrie’s front door camera on the morning of her disappearance.”
The statement continued: “If you have information, please contact us at 1-800-CALL-FBI, 520-351-4900, 88-CRIME, or visit tips.fbi.gov. We do not have any further information to share at this time.”
White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said President Donald Trump is “encouraging Americans across the country who have any knowledge of this suspect to call the FBI.”
Page Six spoke to Andy Kay, a longtime private investigator, who said the surveillance video came from Nest.
“As long as there is internet, the cameras will record to the server,” he explained.
Shortly after the new images and videos were published on Tuesday, Savannah shared the information with her more than 1.7 million followers on Instagram.
“We believe she’s still alive. Let’s take her home,” she captioned one of the posts, while a second caption read, “Someone recognizes this person. We believe she’s still out there. Take her home.”
Savannah, 54, and her relatives were told on Monday to deposit $6 million into a Bitcoin account without any proof that Nancy, 84, was still alive.
However, they did not pay the ransom before the deadline and the alleged kidnappers have not been heard from since then.
TMZ reported that the ransom note also contained gruesome threats and demands.
“It is in everyone’s best interest to complete this as soon as possible,” the letter said in part, according to the newspaper.
Nancy was last seen on January 31st, when she was dropped off at her home in Tucson, Arizona, after dinner with her family.
When she failed to show up at church the next morning, she was reported missing.
Page Six previously reported that authorities found bloodstains of the elderly man outside his home last week. The investigation is still ongoing.
