Authorities have shared new surveillance photos one week after Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing in Arizona.
“New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie,” read a tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday, February 10, alongside four black-and-white photos. “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.”
The post 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. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov.”
The image showed a person standing at the entry way of Nancy’s home wearing a ski mask and seemingly attempting to cover the camera.
Nancy, 84, was last seen on January 31. While Savannah, 54, been absent from the Today show amid the search for her mother, her colleagues have continued to follow the story closely.
“Hoda [Kotb] is joining us this morning as our Today family continues to navigate uncharted territory, balancing the updates on the search for Savannah’s mom with all the other stories of the day, like we normally do,” cohost Craig Melvin said on Monday, February 9, as Kotb, 61, filled in for Savannah. “But we know things are far from normal right now. So folks, we are asking for your grace as we continue to do this.”
Kotb added that “Savannah and her family are our top priority” but acknowledged that the team still has “a job to do” to keep viewers informed.
Kotb, who left the Today show in 2025, also noted that their “thoughts and prayers” are with the Guthrie family “24/7.”
Authorities confirmed on Sunday, February 8, that the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance was still ongoing, with no suspects or persons of interest identified.
Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron Guthrie, previously shared an emotional video regarding their mother’s whereabouts on February 4, noting that Nancy’s “health is fragile.”
“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk,” Savannah said in the clip. “However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”
The video came amid reports that a ransom note was received by local news outlets in Arizona. Police later addressed the reports during a press conference on February 5, with FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke revealing that an “imposter” was arrested for making a false demand.
In a subsequent video shared February 7, Savannah and her siblings spoke directly to their mother’s possible kidnapper.
“We received your message and we understand,” the Today personality said. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN9 later reported that an alleged ransom letter demanded the Guthrie family send $6 million by Monday. Shortly before the deadline passed, Savannah posted another plea for her mom’s safe return.
“I just wanted to come on and share some thoughts as we enter into another week of this nightmare,” she said on Monday, thanking fans for their prayers. “We believe that somehow, some way, [Nancy] is feeling these prayers and that God is lifting her even in this moment and in this darkest place. We believe our mom is still out there.”
Savannah said her family was in an “hour of desperation,” adding, “We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock, trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we need your help. So, I’m coming on just to ask you, not just for your prayers, but no matter where you are, even if you’re far from Tucson, if you see anything, you hear anything, if there’s anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement.”
