Law enforcement officials have released a photo of a possible suspect in connection with the disappearance of 84-year-old Arizona grandmother, Nancy Guthrie.
According to NBC News, the photo shows a potential armed subject in the search for Guthrie, who was last seen at her Catalina Hills home, shortly before 10 p.m. on January 31.
“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,” FBI Director Kash Patel said on X.

The FBI also recovered additional videos, taken from Guthrie’s doorbell camera. The suspect is seen wearing a long-sleeved zip-up shirt, a backpack, pants, and gloves.
The suspect appeared to have been attempting to conceal the camera with a glove, before grabbing some flowers and placing them in front of the camera.
Nancy’s family reported her missing at around noon on February 1, after she missed church. Nancy has been identified as the mother of “Today” show host, Savannah Guthrie.
“We do, in fact, have a crime,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said last week, as CrimeOnline previously reported.
Investigators later found blood on her front porch, confirmed to be Nancy’s. Officials said that around 1:47 a.m. on February 1, Nancy’s doorbell camera had been disconnected. At 2 a.m., Nancy’s pacemaker pinged her phone.
At around 2:12 a.m., security camera software detected movement, Nanos said, although he could not confirm where the movement came from.
Meanwhile, at least three news outlets, including TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN, have received ransom notes, demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.
KOLD reported that the outlet received a note demanding the payment before 5 p.m. MST Monday. The note reportedly “threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie” if the $6 million in Bitcoin is not received.
Initially, ransom notes sent to both KOLD and KGUN demanded $4 million in Bitcoin, with a deadline of February 5. The notes indicated that the payment would increase to $6 million on February 9 if the payment had not been made.
The ransom notes reportedly did not provide any proof of life or a way for loved ones to communicate with Nancy Guthrie, who needs daily medication to survive.
On Thursday, the FBI announced a $50,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone associated with Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Tipsters can also contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900.
