00:20A masked man, a disconnected doorbell camera at 1.47 in the morning, blood on the porch,
00:26and now a suspect detained. But just hours later, released. What is really happening in the
00:34disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie? Let's break it down. Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old
00:41mother of Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Arizona home on January 31st.
00:48She was last seen after a family dinner. Her garage opened at 9.48 p.m., closed minutes later.
00:55Authorities believe she went inside for the night. But in the early hours of February 1st,
01:01something changed. At 1.47 a.m., her doorbell camera was disconnected. Around 2.28 a.m.,
01:08her pacemaker app lost connection to her phone. Days later, investigators confirmed blood found
01:15on her porch was hers. Then came a major development. On February 10th, the FBI released
01:21newly recovered video from her home's doorbell camera. Footage, they say, was retrieved from
01:27back-end systems after the device had been tampered with. The images show a masked individual,
01:33wearing gloves and a backpack, appearing to tamper with the camera. Officials described the person
01:39as armed. It was the first visual clue in a case that had gripped the nation. Just hours after the
01:46footage was released, authorities detained a man during a traffic stop south of Tucson.
01:51Investigators also executed a court-authorized search at a related property. It appeared to be
01:57a breakthrough. For the first time, someone was in custody. But by early the next morning,
02:03the man was released. No charges. He reportedly told reporters he had no connection to Nancy Guthrie
02:09and didn't even know about the case. Authorities have not confirmed whether he was the masked figure
02:15seen in the video. His phone, however, remains in FBI custody as part of the investigation.
02:21Now more than 10 days into the search, Nancy Guthrie has still not been found. Investigators are
02:28treating this as a suspected abduction. There were ransom letters demanding millions in Bitcoin.
02:33There is confirmed blood evidence. There is a video of a masked individual at her door. But no arrests,
02:41no confirmed suspects, and no sign of Nancy. For Savannah Guthrie and her family, the wait continues.
02:48The FBI is offering a reward. Authorities say multiple leads are being pursued. But the biggest
02:54question remains unanswered. Where is Nancy Guthrie?
