Nancy Guthrie, 84, (mother of TODAY Show host Savannah Guthrie) missing - last seen in the Catalina foothills area on Jan 31, 2026

What on earth is going on at this point. It's getting insane at this point

The area where this video was shot is worlds away (poor area) from the foothills where Nancy lives. I don't think it has anything to do with Nancy Guthrie.

TMZ is reporting that the video of the guy dismantling NG's Nest camera took place at 2:12 a.m.

"The man in the new video is trying to enter a locked gate, to no avail. He was recorded on a resident's Ring camera at 1:52 AM. Now, when law enforcement held a news conference last week, they said Nancy's Nest camera disconnected at 1:47 AM ... and, at 2:12 AM, the camera software detected a person. The video the FBI released of the man approaching Nancy's door does not have a time stamp. Sources directly connected to the investigation tell TMZ ... that video of the man at Nancy's door was recorded at 2:12 AM -- in other words, he's the person the software detected."

New Video of Man with Similar Backpack Shot Just Before Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping

The man in this video -- recorded just 5 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home -- is on the FBI's radar -- TMZ has learned -- and the timing of the video is critical.

This is interesting.

How was he on film at 2:12 a.m. if the nest cam was disconnected at 1:47 a.m.?

Does it continue to record whether disconnected or not?

In other words who knows how much footage and what all was recorded on that camera? Holy crap!

Would they have had the DNA back from inside the house yet?

I really wish they would do a presser.

Sounds promising.

Poor Nancy.

Because he's not a suspect.

I would assume since homeowner likely provided it that this would be illegal trespass, would that still not be enough reason to post actual video. I understand that still wouldn't mean they were a suspect, but...

Oh my God.

I thought so too and in fact I posted that yesterday saying it was an altered pic from FBI. It was given so people had a better impression of the suspects stature without the backpack. Several posters commented that I was wrong and it was an additional photo from the same night. I don’t know what to believe?

I'll see if I can find where that info came from but for instance you can see he has no face because of the alteration. It looks like they removed the gun and backpack.

Second Nancy Guthrie Demand Note, Last Chance To Pay For Kidnapper's Identity

MOO someone needs attention.

 

[turaj]

Lets hope there is a purchase with a traceable card and not cash.

it is no doubt cash but the camera footage in the store should be very helpful. Or. it could be online purchase?

Honestly at this point? Unless I learn more/something different - at this point I think both groups are not doing such a great job. Local LE may not be equipped for this and there have been criticisms on recent FBI handling of high profile cases aside from this one & the current leadership...I have no doubt they are very motivated and desire to show a strong and quick resolution but they don't seem to have it all together at least from this seat, which is concerning.

That is institutional failure.

Second Nancy Guthrie Demand Note, Last Chance To Pay For Kidnapper's Identity

TMZ is turning this into a circus, and Harvey whats-his-face is the carnival barker.

They're NOT helping LE with all these sideshow ransom note headlines.

If they get something from purported kidnappers, they should share it with the FBI & NG's family.
Keep it out of the public domain.
Go back to reporting the latest salacious celebrity scandals or whatever.

JMO.

Not true at all. I’m in the area and have multiple porch lights on every night and the majority of my neighbors do too. I have never heard of anyone getting fined for lights against the lighting ordinance, it’s more of a technicality when building than anything.

That is really good to know! From all the media reports, including people on the scene, it's pitch black there at night because of a law. The media strikes again!

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department tells us, “We’re looking for video from January 1 - February 2. PCSD is about to send out an alert through the neighbors app, wants people to pay attention to who is sending out alerts, and make sure it’s from officials. Alert will be sent out to those who live in a 2 mile radius of the Guthrie residence. Investigators are reviewing video submitted by neighbors.”

TMZ is being TMZ which is not new...LE is supposed to be capable of managing this since the media handling is not in the least bit new imo

FBI needs to take the lead 'NOW,' retired agent says​

 

[Auburnlucky7]

Ultrasound 4K mini cams are used by law enforcement at crime scenes:

Scene documentation before disturbance​

Investigators aim to preserve the original condition of a scene. A mini cam allows close-range, high-resolution video capture of:

• The body’s position and orientation
• Surrounding objects and room layout
• Bloodstain patterns or trace evidence
• Entry/exit points and pathways

Because the device is small, it can capture angles that a standard handheld camera might miss without requiring investigators to step into sensitive areas and risk contaminating evidence.

Close-up forensic recording​

Mini cams are useful for documenting:

• Injuries or markings on the body prior to movement
• Identification features (tattoos, scars, jewelry)
• Small items near or under the body
• Tight spaces (under furniture, behind objects)

This creates a continuous visual record that can later be reviewed in court.

Chain-of-custody and procedural transparency​

Some agencies use continuous video recording during recovery to show:

• How the body was handled and transported
• What evidence was collected and when
• That protocols were followed

This protects both the integrity of the investigation and the personnel involved.

Confined-space inspection​

In cluttered or hazardous environments (e.g., hoarding situations, fire damage, structural instability), a small camera can be extended into spaces before investigators physically enter, reducing risk and minimizing disturbance.

---

Importantly, these cameras are not used to locate bodies through walls or floors (that would require radar or thermal imaging technology, which is a different class of equipment). Their role is documentation and safe inspection once investigators are already on scene.

Is it true that Guthrie's have their own PI? I hope so.
