Overview
- Newly recovered images and video pulled from backend data show a masked, apparently armed individual tampering with the door camera at Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home.
- Deputies detained a person during a traffic stop south of Tucson and executed a court‑authorized search in Rio Rico; it remains unclear if the detainee matches the person in the footage, and the man later told media he was released after questioning.
- Investigators expanded searches near Guthrie’s neighborhood and canvassed desert terrain as the FBI urged tips and continued offering a reward of up to $50,000.
- DNA testing confirmed blood found on the front porch was Guthrie’s; the home’s doorbell camera was disconnected around 1:47 a.m., and her pacemaker app stopped syncing minutes later on Feb. 1.
- Ransom demands seeking bitcoin, including reports of a $6 million request, have been reported but remain unverified with no publicly disclosed proof of life or confirmed ongoing contact.
