Nancy Guthrie latest: New videos show ‘armed’ masked man at front door of Savannah mother’s home

Police have released surveillance footage of a masked and “armed” individual at the home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

Police believe Nancy, who was last seen at her Arizona home on January 31, was abducted. The photos and videos released Tuesday show “an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said.

Savannah shared the new photos and videos on her Instagram account. “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home,” she wrote.

The FBI has said it’s investigating reports of a ransom note sent to media outlets, which listed two deadlines that have since passed: Thursday, February 5 and Monday, February 9. Local CNN affiliate KGUN reports it received a ransom note demanding $6 million by Monday.

The FBI is “not aware of any continued communication” between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers, the agency said Monday.
