Carlos Palazuelo, who was detained and questioned by authorities on Tuesday, then released, was not identified solely based on the doorbell video from Nancy Guthrie’s home, the FBI has confirmed to Fox News.

Palazuelos was instead pinpointed by other background investigations.

While Palazuelos’ eyes could be considered similar to — or a potential match for — the masked individual seen in the video at Guthrie’s front door, the FBI said that resemblance alone did not prompt his questioning.

Palazuelos claimed that agents took his phone when he was questioned.
