FBI Expands Search After Recovered Doorbell Video in Nancy Guthrie Case

Investigators now prioritize neighborhood surveillance after a detainee in Rio Rico was released.

Overview

  • Authorities are canvassing Tucson neighborhoods for home-security recordings from Jan. 31 to the morning of Feb. 1, and Ring users also received a request for video from Jan. 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Department reports thousands of tips, and investigators recovered black gloves that were sent for DNA testing.
  • Newly released images and clips show a masked, apparently armed individual who appears to manipulate the front-door camera, with the footage retrieved from residual backend data despite no active subscription at the home.
  • A man stopped near the U.S.–Mexico border in Rio Rico was detained for questioning and later released, and agents executed a search at a related residence as the probe continues without charges.
  • Officials say at least one ransom demand seeking about $6 million in bitcoin remains unverified, a $50,000 reward is active, and the public is urged to share tips and upload surveillance video.
