FBI agents are searching roads near Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home as the hunt continues for the 84-year-old.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31. The FBI is now “conducting an extensive search along multiple roadways in the Catalina Foothills area related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation,” the agency said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a delivery driver who was detained for questioning in connection with Guthrie’s disappearance on Tuesday evening has been released. The man identified himself as Carlos Palazuelos, Telemundo reports.
The 36-year-old told reporters he had not heard about Guthrie’s case and had nothing to do with her apparent kidnapping, according to The New York Times. “I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it,” he said.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said “deputies detained a subject” during a traffic stop south of Tucson on Tuesday. Investigators then searched a property in Rio Rico, a town near the U.S.-Mexico border. The agency later confirmed he was released without charges, but provided few other details.
This comes after the FBI released new surveillance footage of a masked and “armed” individual tampering with Guthrie’s front door camera the morning she disappeared.

A senior law enforcement official said the individual was detained in Rio Rico, Arizona, near the US-Mexico border.
Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed deputies carried out the stop but did not say whether the person is considered a suspect. Authorities have also not indicated whether the individual is the same person seen in surveillance photos and video released earlier by the FBI.
“Additional information will be released as it becomes available,” the sheriff’s department said, adding no press conference is scheduled at this time.
Authorities carry out court-authorized search in Rio Rico
05:05 , Shahana YasminThe FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are conducting a court-authorized search in Rio Rico, Arizona, in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to CNN.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said the search, taking place about an hour south of Tucson, is being carried out with assistance from the FBI’s Evidence Response Team. The operation is expected to last several hours, officials added, with no further details about the location or what investigators are seeking.
A sheriff’s department spokeswoman confirmed the search is related to the investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance.
This development comes after deputies detained a person for questioning during a traffic stop in the same area earlier.
FBI director says agents are examining “persons of interest”
05:15 , Shahana YasminFBI director Kash Patel said agents are examining multiple “persons of interest” in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, describing “substantial progress” in the past 36 to 48 hours.
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Patel said: “We are looking at people who, as we say, are persons of interest,” adding that individuals remain under that designation until they are either eliminated or identified as culprits.
Patel did not specify who is under scrutiny but said the FBI’s technical capabilities and outreach to private-sector partners had helped identify individuals “in and around the area related to this event.”
He said the bureau’s first priority is finding Guthrie, 84, and then ensuring “anyone and any others involved in this kidnapping case” are brought to justice.
Road cordoned off in Rio Rico as search continues in Guthrie case

The area, about an hour south of Tucson and near the US-Mexico border, was blocked off Tuesday as officers worked at the scene.
A woman who identified herself as Josefina told CNN that authorities were searching her home after receiving a tip connected to the case. “They had somebody give a tip that the lady was in my house,” she said. “I told them you can go in and search my house, there is nobody there. I have nothing to hide.”
She said her son-in-law had been detained but insisted “he had nothing to do with that.”
“I’m sorry what’s happened to (the Guthries),” she added. “I don’t know her, I don’t know anything about their lives or what’s going on, but I’m so sorry – whoever took her, I hope she got back safe.”
ICYMI: FBI releases new footage of masked, armed person at Guthrie home
05:44 , Shahana YasminIn a major development, the FBI on Tuesday released surveillance images and videos from a Google Nest doorbell camera outside Nancy Guthrie’s home
The footage shows a masked, armed individual approaching her front door and apparently attempting to block or tamper with the camera shortly before she disappeared on February 1.
Investigators initially believed there was no usable video because the camera was disconnected and Guthrie did not have an active subscription.
However, FBI director Kash Patel said agents and digital forensics teams worked with Google and private-sector partners to recover the footage from backend systems, where video data was still stored even without a paid plan.
Savannah Guthrie shared the stills on Instagram, writing: “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home.”
Detained man was delivering food order, family says
06:12 , Shahana YasminThe person detained for questioning in the Nancy Guthrie investigation was stopped while delivering a DoorDash order.
According to News Nation reporter Brian Entin, the individual was pulled over near the Mexico border in Rio Rico, Arizona, where authorities have been conducting a search of a property.

She said he spends weeks in Tucson working in the shipping business and staying with his mother, and that he and her daughter have been saving to rent their own apartment.
She also insisted that the masked person seen in the doorbell camera footage released by police “was not” her son-in-law.

Donald Trump 'disgusted' after seeing footage of suspect
06:45 , Shahana YasminThe White House weighed in Tuesday after the FBI released surveillance images showing a masked individual outside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home the morning she disappeared.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said US president Donald Trump had reviewed the footage shortly before the daily briefing.
“His initial reaction, of course, as all Americans, is just pure disgust,” Leavitt said. “It's heartbreaking to see now this footage really bring to life a story we've all been reading about. And again, we’re just praying for the safety of Nancy Guthrie and that she will return home soon.
“The president directed me to please encourage all Americans with any information to call the FBI, and we hope that this case will come to a positive resolution as soon as possible," she said.
Leavitt said the president has urged anyone with information to contact federal authorities.
She added that anyone responsible for the apparent abduction should face the “fullest extent of the law.”
Guthrie family said masked figure in FBI images is unknown to them
07:00 , Shahana YasminThe family of Nancy Guthrie has told investigators they do not recognize the individual captured in newly released surveillance images from outside her Arizona home, NBC News reported.
According to authorities, both the Guthrie family and law enforcement were unable to identify the masked person seen in the footage shared by the FBI earlier this week.
The black and white images released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, 10 days after Guthrie was last seen, show a masked, “armed” individual who appeared to have tampered with Guthrie’s doorbell camera.
Because no one close to the case could identify the person, federal officials decided to make the photos and video public. Investigators are hoping that wider exposure will help someone recognize the individual and provide information that could help the investigation.

How does law enforcement handle negotiations?
11:30 , Shahana YasminExperts say abductions for ransom are rare, despite the prevalence of dramatic hostage crises on television. But the apparent kidnapping of Today show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother has raised questions about how law enforcement handles hostage negotiations in real life, and the risks of media attention for victims.
Professional hostage negotiators from around the world say that kidnappings depicted on television — where police shout through a bullhorn at heavily armed hostage-takers inside a bank — often misrepresent the delicate touch required for real-world negotiations.
