The disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Savannah Guthrie, has entered a critical phase as investigators reassess early assumptions. Newly recovered surveillance footage from the Tucson home suggests the masked suspect may be inexperienced, despite demanding a $6 million Bitcoin ransom. Former agents say the individual carried a firearm in an awkward, highly visible manner—an unusual and “non-conventional” choice that signals a lack of training. The suspect also clumsily tried to cover a security camera with nearby vegetation instead of bringing tools, reinforcing the “rookie” profile.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation managed to retrieve residual backend data after the camera was removed, calling it a technical breakthrough. Director Kash Patel confirmed multiple persons of interest are being vetted. Meanwhile, local delivery driver Carlos Palazuelos was detained and released without charges as the search intensifies.
