• The FBI has released surveillance images of a masked suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
• Guthrie was last seen on January 31; her family has not received proof of life or communication from kidnappers.
• Her family believes she is still alive and is willing to pay ransom for her safe return.
• DNA evidence has linked blood found at her home to Nancy Guthrie.
• The investigation remains active with authorities appealing for public assistance.

The FBI has confirmed the release of surveillance images showing a masked and armed individual tampering with the door camera at the home of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old missing woman. These images were central to the investigation that began when she was reported missing on February 1, one day after she was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona home, according to ABC News and BBC.

The released images depict the suspect attempting to conceal a Google Nest camera using foliage around the front door shortly after Nancy's disappearance. FBI Director Kash Patel reported that the camera had been disconnected just hours before Nancy was last seen, and new footage was recovered after initial attempts to obtain it failed, according to Los Angeles Times and Channel News Asia.

Authorities revealed that they have not identified any suspects or persons of interest in the case, leaving the investigation in a challenging position. DNA tests confirmed that blood found on Guthrie’s porch matched her, signaling potential foul play, and the FBI has received ransom notes demanding $6 million, which included deadlines that have already lapsed. This information was reported by NPR and India Times.

Savannah Guthrie, Nancy's daughter and television host, urged the public for assistance, appealing for tips and expressing hope that her mother is still alive. The family has conveyed that they are ready to listen to the kidnappers and are prepared to pay a ransom for her safe return. This urgency was emphasized in a video message shared on social media, according to Reuters and South China Morning Post.
