Nancy Guthrie surveillance images of armed person in doorway released one day after Monday 5 p.m ransom deadline passes as authorities ask public’s assistance in identifying Savannah Guthrie’s mom purported kidnapper(s) suspect(s) as police admit not knowing their identity.
Who is he? Is he the purported abductor who sent a $6 million ransom deadline?
Authorities on Tuesday released images of an armed man in connection with the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie‘s mother, Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1.
The images show what appears to be a man with a hat over their face wearing gloves, standing at Nancy Guthrie’s home doorway the day she was abducted, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a statement, adding that the person appears to have tampered with the camera at the 84-year-old matriarch’s front door.
Person detained in Nancy Guthrie case as son in law bandmate eyed as suspect
Is Dominic Evans, Tommaso Cioni bandmate Nancy’s kidnapping suspect?
‘Working with our partners — as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance,’ Nanos’s statement read.
Nancy was last seen at her longtime home in Tucson, Ariz., after being dropped off by her family at 9:48 p.m. on Sat., Jan. 31.
The mother of three is believed to have been kidnapped in the early morning hours of Sunday, Feb. 1, authorities said.
Nancy’s family reported her missing at 12:15 p.m. on Feb. 1, when she missed church.

84-year-old mom taken against her will
Law enforcement launched a massive investigation into her disappearance, with Nanos saying at a Feb. 3 press conference that authorities believe she was taken against her will.
A trail of blood was seen on the front steps of Nancy’s home that authorities confirmed is hers.
Potential kidnappers sent alleged ransom notes tied to Nancy’s disappearance to several media outlets, including to TMZ, in which a purported letter stating, ‘Nancy is safe but scared.’
On Wed., Feb. 4, the Today show host, 54, and her two siblings made an emotional plea to the potential kidnapper or kidnappers in a video posted on Instagram asking for proof of life.
Second and final ransom deadline comes and goes
The alleged kidnappers set an initial deadline for 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, and a second deadline for 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, for a $6 million bitcoin ransom, which came and went without any follow through from the purported abductor(s).
On Feb. 6, the sheriff’s office and FBI announced that they had become aware of a ‘new message’ regarding Nancy that was sent to Tucson-based outlet KOLD News/News 13.
Investigators were trying to determine whether it was sent from the same person or people who sent the first ransom note.
On Saturday, Feb. 7, Savannah and her siblings posted another emotional video on Instagram, saying, ‘We will pay.’ As part of the condition of payment, the family members had requested proof that Nancy was still alive leading up to the second and final deadline, only for the Monday 5 p.m deadline to come and pass, leading to questions whether the mom was still alive or even kidnapped?
The FBI is urging anyone with tips or leads to call 1-800-CALL-FBI in addition to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office number, 520-351-4900.
