Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance in Tucson
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills on the night of January 31. Investigators declared the property a crime scene after discovering evidence of forced entry and blood splatters on the porch.
Adding to the urgency, authorities noted that Nancy’s pacemaker stopped syncing with her devices at approximately 2:12 am on February 1. While unverified ransom notes have been sent to various media outlets, the Pima County Sheriff has expressed skepticism regarding the motives, focusing instead on the physical evidence found at the scene.
The CCTV Footage
The newly released footage, recovered by the FBI with assistance from technical specialists, captures a subject outside the front door in the early hours of February 1. The individual is seen wearing a full ski mask, gloves, a jacket, and a backpack, and law enforcement pointed out what appears to be a holstered firearm on the subject's waistband.

The footage shows the suspect actively attempting to disable the security system. In one clip, the person is seen cupping the camera lens with a gloved hand to hide their identity. In a subsequent video, the suspect returns with a small flashlight held in their mouth and uses prairie brush and plants taken from the front yard to further obstruct the camera's view. Despite the lack of a paid subscription for the doorbell camera, the FBI successfully retrieved the footage from "backend systems."
