Surveillance images released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department show an unidentified person standing outside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours before her disappearance on January 31, 2026. The individual’s face is largely covered, with only the eyes visible, and the person appears dressed in dark clothing and gloves while standing near the home’s entryway. Authorities are now asking the public to help identify the individual as part of the ongoing investigation.
Officials explained that recovering the footage required extensive technical efforts after portions of the home’s surveillance data were believed to have been lost or overwritten. Working with federal partners and private companies, investigators were able to retrieve partial images from stored backend data systems, providing new leads in the case. Authorities believe the recovered footage could be important in understanding events leading up to Nancy’s disappearance.
Nancy’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, shared the images publicly and urged anyone with information to contact investigators. She expressed hope that her mother is still alive and emphasized that someone may recognize the person captured in the footage. Since the images were released, many online users have discussed possible details, though officials caution against speculation while the investigation continues.
Investigators are also examining other evidence connected to the case, including unusual technology disruptions at the home and messages sent to media outlets demanding payment. Officials have announced a reward for information leading to Nancy’s safe recovery or the arrest of anyone responsible, as authorities continue working to bring answers to the family and community.
