She urged anyone with information on the individual to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously revealed that the camera had been disabled, preventing real-time monitoring.
However, they were able to recover “residual data” in backend systems to obtain the new footage.
According to CBS News, the person in the video and photos is not currently considered a suspect in Nancy’s disappearance.
On Monday, Savannah shared another heartbreaking video pleading for the public’s help in locating her mother, as the second deadline in the ransom demand grew closer.
The deadline was set for Monday, February 9, at 5:00 p.m. MST, with the suspect demanding $6 million in Bitcoin for Nancy’s release.
Hours before the deadline, Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, promised that they’d pay the ransom but insisted on receiving “proof of life.”
This was after previous ransom notes set a deadline of Thursday, February 5th, at 5:00 p.m.
Nancy was reported missing on February 1st after failing to show up for a church service that morning.
Police later determined that the elderly woman had been abducted from her bed in the middle of the night, based on evidence at the scene.
