New Doorbell Photos of Nancy Guthrie Abduction Suspect Released Without Timestamps
Updated (2 articles)
FBI Publishes Two Doorbell Still Images The FBI released two doorbell‑camera stills showing a masked individual, one captured “the morning of her disappearance” on Feb. 1 with a backpack and another earlier image without a backpack; neither photo includes a date or time stamp, preventing precise sequencing of events[1][2].
Victim Identified and Disappearance Timeline Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson on Jan. 31 and reported missing on Feb. 2; investigators found drops of her blood on the front porch but have released few additional details[1][2].
Sheriff Emphasizes Hope and Rejects Speculation Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told 12News he has “no reason to believe she won’t be found alive,” stressing faith and hope while labeling any attempt to assign dates to the photos as “purely speculative”[1][2].
DNA Analysis Yields No CODIS Matches DNA from black gloves discovered two miles from Guthrie’s home was entered into the CODIS database on Tuesday and produced no matches; the gloves resemble those seen on the video but have not been formally linked to the case[1][2].

Timeline
Jan 31, 2026 – Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanishes from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson; she is last seen on her front porch and investigators later discover drops of her blood there, marking the beginning of the abduction investigation [1][2].
Feb 1, 2026 (morning) – FBI doorbell‑camera footage captures a masked individual wearing a backpack at Guthrie’s residence, which the agency says was recorded “the morning of her disappearance,” providing the clearest visual clue in the case [1][2].
Feb 1, 2026 (earlier) – An earlier, timestamp‑less doorbell image shows the same masked figure without a backpack, leading some to speculate the suspect may have visited the home before the abduction; the sheriff’s office warns that assigning dates to the photos is “purely speculative” [1][2].

Feb (early 2026, date not specified) – Police recover a pair of black gloves about two miles from the Guthrie home; DNA from the gloves is entered into the CODIS database but yields no matches, and the gloves have not been formally linked to the case [1][2].
Feb 24, 2026 – DNA samples from the porch scene and the recovered gloves are processed at a private lab, still producing no matches; Sheriff Nanos calls the doorbell video “the biggest, really great piece of evidence to work from” and reiterates confidence the investigation will locate Guthrie alive [1][2].
