FBI releases images of masked person on Guthrie's porch

FBI Director Kash Patel posted the images on X.

"The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems," Patel wrote, saying the images show "an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance".

Investigators had been hopeful that cameras at the home would turn up some evidence about how she went missing but the doorbell camera was disconnected early on Sunday.

And while software data recorded movement at the home minutes later, Nancy Guthrie did not have an active subscription so none of the footage could be recovered, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos had said.
