Nancy, 84, was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31 after family members dropped her off at her Pima County, Ariz., home. She was officially declared missing the next day after friends flagged that she did not attend their virtual church service. **

After the initial announcement, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced the following day that the mom of three’s disappearance was being investigated as a crime, with her home now considered a crime scene.

On Tuesday, FBI bureau director Kash Patel shared the videos and images of a potential suspect involved in Nancy’s kidnapping. The footage, which was taken on her Nest security camera, depicted a masked individual standing outside her home and attempting to stop the camera from recording them by placing a piece of foliage over it. **

"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," he wrote on X. "The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems."

Patel 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."

That same day, authorities announced that they’d detained a person of interest in connection to the case, but later released him. The man, who identified himself as Carlos, explained that he did not know who Nancy or Savannah were and had never seen the *Today* show.

“I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it,” he told reporters outside his Rio Rico, Ariz., home on Wednesday. “They better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name.”

Savannah, Annie, and Camron have published multiple videos pleading with their mother’s captors to return her home safe and sound.

"If you see anything, you hear anything, if there's anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement," Savannah said in a video posted on Monday. "We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help."**

The FBI and the Sheriff's Department have asked anyone with information surrounding the case to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. The bureau has also set a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to Nancy's recovery or the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance
