Authorities tonight detained a person for questioning in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The FBI released security photos and videos of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
Four images depict a person wearing gloves, a mask and a backpack appearing to tamper with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning she disappeared.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the potential subject is armed.
The FBI said yesterday that it had not identified any suspects or persons of interest.
Guthrie, 84, was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona, the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing about noon Feb. 1.
The FBI said yesterday that it is “not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers.”

Law enforcement has detained a man for questioning in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News tonight.
The development comes after the FBI released black-and-white security camera photos of a potential subject outside the 84-year-old woman’s home on the morning she went missing in Tucson, Arizona.
It was not immediately clear whether the man detained for questioning was the person seen in the doorbell camera images.
The FBI did not comment. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it is not releasing any information at this time.

Investigators wrangled video from Google Nest camera out of ‘backend systems’
+2
Shortly after Guthrie disappeared, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that a camera affixed to her door had been disconnected, that she did not have a subscription that would have saved video and that investigators were trying to work with a tech company on the difficult forensic task of recovering any video.
Against those odds, they were successful. More than a week after her reported disappearance, that video was revealed, marking the most significant public development in a case that has captured the nation.
An internet-connected Google Nest camera captured an unidentified person in a mask and gloves and carrying a backpack and a gun approaching Guthrie’s home just before her disappearance. FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau was able to collect the video from “backend systems.”
It’s not yet clear how the FBI was able to collect the video. Experts told NBC News it is in some cases possible to collect data from the complex infrastructure that has enabled cloud-based cameras to become a common household feature.
