The apparent abduction of Savannah Guthrieโs 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, has gripped the nation. Nancy was reported missing on February 1, 2026, and authorities have repeatedly told the public they have not identified a suspect. However, they finally uncovered a key detail 10 days into the investigation: surveillance footage of a masked person approaching Nancyโs door in Tucson, Arizona.
According to the clip released by the FBI on February 10, a person wearing a full face mask and black gloves approached Nancyโs home and tampered with her security cameras. FBI Director Kash Patel released a statement regarding the footage, which read, โOver the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriffโs Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrieโs home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors โ including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.โ
โWorking with our partners โ 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 Guthrieโs front door the morning of her disappearance,โ Patel added.
Here is what we know so far about potential suspects in Nancyโs disappearance.

Has a Suspect Been Named in Nancy Guthrieโs Case?
No. At the time of publication, authorities have not identified a suspect. A man only identified as Carlos was detained during a traffic stop in Arizona for questioning on February 10, but he was promptly released. He spoke with reporters later on, insisting that he was not a suspect and didnโt even know about the Guthrie family.
By day 12, officials asked neighbors in the Tucson area to share any surveillance footage from their own homes to a portal in order to track down the suspect.
Later that week, authorities briefly detained three people in a residence two miles away from Nancyโs home. They were released shortly thereafter. Additionally, one man was detained during a traffic stop near a restaurant, though he was released as well. Sheriff Nanos told reporters he was their โperson of interest.โ
Why Did People Assume Annie Guthrieโs Husband Tommaso Cioni Was a Suspect?
Baseless rumors surfaced about Savannahโs brother-in-law, Annie Guthrieโs husband, Tommaso Cioni, during the first week of the investigation. CNN reported that police were seen at Annieโs home amid the search for Nancy, but authorities have not revealed why they were there.
The Pima County Sheriffโs Office shut down all speculation about potential suspects in a public statement shared on February 4.
โAt this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case,โ the statement read. โDetectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family. While we appreciate the publicโs concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.โ
