Savannah Guthrie is speaking out after the first photos of a potential suspect in her mom Nancy Guthrie’s abduction have been released.
The Pima County’s Sheriff Department released images and a video of the suspect on February 10, 2026. The images showed a person with a hat over their face wearing gloves as they appeared to tamper with the Nest security camera at the front door of Nancy’s home. “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,” the Pima County’s Sheriff Department said in a statement.
After law enforcement officials released the footage, Savannah shared an Instagram post in which she begged for help in finding her mother and confirmed that she still believed Nancy was alive. “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department 520-351-4900,” she captioned a series of screenshots of the suspect.
Footage of Nancy’s potential abductor comes after the Guthrie family missed the second deadline to pay an alleged ransom for her return. News broke of an alleged ransom note days later, with Nancy’s apparent abductors demanding $4 million in bitcoin by 5 p.m. local time on Thursday, February 5. If their demand were not met, then the amount would increase to $6 million by 5 p.m. local time on Monday, February 9, according to People.
As of writing, Savannah’s family has not paid the ransom for Nancy, as the alleged public Bitcoin account set up for Nancy’s ransom currently stands at $0 with no transactions recorded. Two days before the second ransom note deadline, Savannah posted a social media video with her sister, Annie Guthrie, and brother, Camron Guthrie, in which she confirmed that the family will pay as long as they receive confirmation that they’ll get their mother in return.
“We received your message, and we understand,” Savannah read from a piece of paper in the video, which was posted on February 7. “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.” She continued, “This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.” She captioned the post, “Bring her home.”
