The FBI on Tuesday released photos of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, according to two senior law enforcement officials.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted four black-and-white photos of the person on X. The images show a masked person wearing gloves and a backpack in front of Guthrie's house in Tucson, Arizona, Patel said.
"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," Patel said on X.
Guthrie’s family reported the 84-year-old missing around noon Feb. 1 after she did not show up for virtual church services. She was last seen the previous night, around 9:45 p.m., after having dinner at the home of her daughter Annie Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
Guthrie’s disappearance set off a desperate search involving state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Three news outlets have said they received a ransom note referencing Guthrie. NBC News has reviewed a copy of the note, and the contents are consistent with the descriptions provided by the FBI and those news outlets. No law enforcement agency has so far substantiated the note.
In an Instagram video Monday, Savannah Guthrie said her family believed her mother was “still out there” and asked for the public's help in finding her.
“We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help,” she said in part.
