Police have detained an individual in connection to the abduction of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie.
The Pima County Sheriff’s department, with assistance from the FBI, have brought a person in for questioning about the 84-year-old’s disappearance, law enforcement confirmed on Tuesday, February 10.
“Earlier today, Pima County Sheriff’s Department deputies detained a subject during a trafic stop south of Tucson,” Sheriff Chris Nanos shared in a statement via X. “The subject is currently being questioned in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.”
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News that police are also reportedly gearing up to search a location associated with the subject.
The news comes just hours after the FBI released black-and-white photos and surveillance footage from Nancy’s home that showed a masked individual with an apparent stored gun in their waistband seemingly trying to break a camera by Nancy’s front door.
Us Weekly has reached out to the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s department.
FBI Director Kash Patel later addressed the footage in a statement via X, writing, “New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie. Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.”
He continued, “Working with our partners — 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 Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”

Savannah, 54, shared the photos via her Instagram alongside a caption that read, “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department 520-351-4900.”
Her husband, Michael Feldman, also spoke out in light of the released images. “Someone out there may recognize this person,” Feldman, 57, wrote via his own Instagram account. “Please help us. Bring her home.”
Later on Tuesday, a report published by People revealed that officials from both Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI “were seen searching the neighborhood” of Savannah’s sister, Annie Guthrie, and “asking neighbors questions.” (Nancy is the mother of daughters Savannah and Annie as well as son Carmon Guthrie.)
An additional report by TMZ alleged that TMZ had “seen activity for the first time in the Bitcoin account listed in the first ransom note” that had been sent to them. The report noted that the amount would not be revealed “for various reasons,” but the activity allegedly took place at around 4:00 PM PT.
Nancy was reported missing by a family member who called 911 on February 1. She was last seen one day prior by Annie, as confirmed by Us Weekly the following day, after Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, dropped Nancy to her home following a January 31 family dinner.
