Surveillance photos of a possible suspect in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, have been released by law enforcement.
Authorities released the photos after the FBI revealed that Nancy’s alleged kidnappers have not contacted Savannah and her family since the $6 million ransom deadline passed at 5 p.m. MT (7 p.m. ET) on Monday.
In the snaps, a masked person appeared outside Nancy’s door at her Arizona home, fully clothed and wearing gloves.
“Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie‘s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices,” FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted Tuesday.
“The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems,” he added.
“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.”
The FBI shared that they do not have any further information to share at this time.
Savannah and her relatives were instructed to place $6 million into a bitcoin account on Monday without being given any proof that Nancy, 84, was alive.
However, they did not pay the ransom before the deadline expired and have not heard from the alleged kidnappers since.
TMZ reported that the ransom note also included chilling threats.
“‘It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible,’” the outlet reported the letter read.
Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her Tucson, Ariz., home following a family dinner.
When she did not show up for church the following morning, she was reported missing.
During their investigation, authorities found a trail of blood that belonged to the elder outside her home.
