No, the FBI does not automatically investigate a case just because they are asked to
. The FBI only has the authority to open an investigation if there is a potential violation of federal lawand the case meets certain internal criteria.

The FBI doesn't need a federal law violation to assist a local agency; they only need a federal law violation to prosecute the case in federal court.

They are NOT the lead agency here. They have been brought in to assist, which DOES NOT require a violation of Federal law.

This happens literally every day in America.

The FBI provides resources like lab analysis, evidence response, behavioral analysis, digital forensics, CAST, etc, etc, etc.

Could you please provide a source from the investigation that clearly states the doorbell camera was a Nest? I am having difficulty finding that.

Here is my prior post on the subject with images.

And, to improve my prior attribution, the door photo is from: Photos of Nancy Guthrie crime scene as cops investigate 'ransom notes' (Edit, further sourcing: I know Daily Mail is not the most reputable, but they had the clearest photo of that spot. From this Brian Entin / News Nation video, you can't see it as clearly but I think it's confirmation that the Daily Mail photo is actually of NG's door:

)

The Nest video is from timestamp 3:10 here:

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

There is a clear and close-up photo of the front door area showing the locks as well as the (now empty) door camera/doorbell bracket, and it looks exactly like a Nest doorbell mounting bracket, for a battery-powered (not wired) Nest doorbell.

Sorry to reply to myself, and I don't know if this is allowed. Please delete and forgive me if not. But here is a comparison of the photo of NG's door on the left (sourced from Daily Mail) and a screenshot from Google's instructional video for installing Nest doorbells on the right. Seems pretty conclusive to me.

Can someone tell me WHICH Circle K provided the surveillance video? MSM consistently reports it is one on Oracle Road. As a 40+ year Tucson resident I struggled to remember one on Oracle. A quick google maps check did not find one either. There are a few close to Oracle though.

I'd say 75% of the countless murder cases I've followed on here have involved the FBI in some capacity.

Especially if state/country lines are crossed… the one hoaxer alone was from a different state

Thank you, @tricia.

Thank you, @tricia!!! I was just mentioning to someone earlier wondering if this was going to happen for this case.

Thanks again!

The SIL claim was clickbait. Neither the SIL nor AG are involved. If authorities even had a tiny suspicion they were, then they would have search warrants. I know crime stats show there's a connection between last person to see a victim but LEs actions prove they are not suspects at this time.

 

[Chimera]

he is definitely number one suspect imo.

I don’t find it strange though that he hasn’t been seen since Thursday - even if he has nothing to do with this with all the coverage on him he probably rightly feels he needs to lay low.

Emphasis mine.
If a person is innocent, the best action they can take is to stand with law enforcement maybe at a presser and beg for the missing person.
If that's not forthcoming (police wanting to give a press conf.); perhaps spend all of your time cooperating to make sure LE can clear you and then you can move on ?
Not saying he didn't cooperate.

Maybe LE aren't satisfied with the answers or information they're receiving, and if someone is truly innocent that's not going to make them want to be seen anywhere in public.
Being in absentia is not helpful.
Unless he's busy at work ?
Just pointing that out.
Omo.

Especially if state/country lines are crossed

No lines were crossed in any of those cases. It was just police departments out of their depth, who needed help. In the Suzanne Morphew case for instance, the FBI did almost all of the work. They weren't the lead agency though, and they knew from the get-go that despite a scene set up to look like an abduction, no abduction occurred.
