Investigators have released a surveillance photo showing a potential suspect in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation on Tuesday, marking a major update in the unusual case.
The image was circulated less than a day after a ransom deadline to pay Guthrie’s abductors $6 million in bitcoin passed with no sign of the 84-year-old.
The FBI said Monday that it had not identified any suspects in the bizarre kidnapping case, which began ten days ago when Guthrie’s family reported her missing after she did not show up for church and wasn’t at her Tucson home. There has been no evidence Guthrie is taking the medication she needs or proof from kidnappers that she’s still alive.
There has been no indication any ransom was paid and the FBI also said it is not aware of any communication between the abductors and the Guthrie family.
The image of a masked individual appears to have been recovered off a Nest camera located outside Guthrie’s home. Law enforcement has been working for days to recover any images or video footage that may have been “lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors–including the removal of recording devices,” said FBI Director Kash Patel.

“””I doubt this is good for ratings.”””
This “viewer” found something else to do. They have been going non stop for days with nothing to talk about. It’s sad that grandma disappeared but it certainly isn’t national news. People disappear every day. No stories about them.
They all want to be first....
“”””They all want to be first....”””....to lose all their viewers.
And so it begins. The march toward a 100% Surveillance State.
