Newly Released Footage in Nancy Guthrie Case Raises Urgent Questions as Investigation Continues

What happened outside Nancy Guthrie’s front door the night she vanished?

That question has taken on renewed urgency after federal investigators released doorbell camera footage showing a masked individual approaching her Arizona home. The short clip, now circulating widely, has quickly become a central piece of the ongoing investigation. Authorities hope that fresh public attention could help generate new leads.

For her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, the case is deeply personal. In a public message, she urged anyone who might recognize even the smallest detail in the footage to come forward. She emphasized that a minor observation — a familiar gait, a recognizable jacket, or a distinctive backpack — could be the missing piece investigators need. Law enforcement officials are asking members of the public to review the video carefully and contact the FBI or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department with any credible information.

According to reports, the footage shows a person wearing gloves, a zip-up jacket, light-colored running shoes, and a backpack with reflective details. The individual’s face appears largely concealed, but investigators noted certain visible features, such as eyebrows and possible facial hair, that could assist in identification. Officials have been careful not to confirm the person’s identity and have cautioned against online speculation, stressing that misidentification can hinder progress.
