The search for Nancy Guthrie has taken a major turn after investigators released new doorbell-camera footage from outside her Arizona home. The images show a masked person standing at the front door, and officials say “even small details—like clothing, posture, or a backpack—could help identify the person.” Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact law enforcement, stressing that public tips could be critical to the investigation.
Savannah Guthrie, host of NBC’s “Today,” shared the footage on social media, asking viewers to look closely and report anything familiar. The family believes Nancy may still be alive, and investigators said the decision to release the video followed discussions with relatives. Because neither the family nor authorities recognized the individual, public assistance is seen as essential to turning visual clues into meaningful leads.
Police have also focused on Rio Rico, Arizona, where a search warrant was carried out at a home after a tip. One person was detained for questioning but later released, and officials have not confirmed whether that individual is a suspect or simply someone interviewed as part of the investigation. Authorities emphasized that the case remains active and that all leads are being carefully examined.
Experts reviewing the footage described the figure as calm and deliberate, noting that subtle movements and positioning could help narrow down identification. For the Guthrie family, the release of the video offers renewed hope and momentum. They remain focused on the possibility that someone, somewhere, may recognize a key detail and help bring Nancy home.
