FBI Director Kash Patel released images and video of an "armed individual" connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, according to reports from multiple news sources. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI posted the images and videos to social media on Tuesday, showing a masked person wearing a backpack on the porch of Guthrie's Tucson, Arizona, home. Authorities suspect Guthrie was abducted around February 1.
The released images show a masked man wearing gloves, a backpack, and a holstered handgun at the front door of Guthrie's home, according to ABC News. A 27-second video shows the individual approaching the front door and raising a gloved hand to a home security camera before walking away, as reported by CBS News. Another 14-second video shows the person facing the camera.
"We believe she is still alive. Bring her home," Savannah Guthrie responded, as quoted by ABC News. FBI Director Patel was at the law enforcement command post for the Guthrie investigation in Arizona on Monday, according to law enforcement sources cited by CBS News.
