Nancy Guthrie disappeared in the middle of night from her Tucson, Arizona, home and was last seen on 31 January. Authorities believe she was taken against her will.

He said authorities had been working to recover images from the home surveillance system that “may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices”.
Officials also released two short videos showing the person approach the front door of Nancy Guthrie’s home, then check camera before moving away, picking up some vegetation from the ground and using it to cover the camera lens.
Savannah Guthrie shared the new video on Instagram. “Someone out there recognizes this person,” she said on Tuesday. “We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”

Nancy Guthrie was abducted from the $1 million home in Tucson, Arizona, where she has lived for more than 50 years

This marks the first major breakthrough in a case that has gripped the country for nearly a fortnight.
With authorities saying they are yet to identify any suspects or vehicles connected to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, Savannah Guthrie on Monday issued a new video appeal to anyone with information.
“We believe our mum is still out there,” she said in a video posted to her Instagram account. “We need your help.”
She renewed that appeal on Tuesday, re-posting the surveillance images on her Instagram with the message: “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home.”

“The prayers of this entire White House are with Savannah and her family at this time. We hope this person is found soon and her mother is brought home safely,” she said.
Last week, Pima County officials said that home’s doorbell camera was disconnected at 01:47 local time and the camera’s software registered motion a short time after, at 02:12.
At 02:28, the app on her pacemaker disconnected from her phone.
Police also said they had found blood on Nancy Guthrie’s porch and analyses confirmed it was hers.
Authorities have said say there are taking an email with a ransom note sent to US media outlets stating a Monday deadline seriously. It was one of three reported ransom notes sent in the case. A previous apparent deadline for ransom, which was demanded in Bitcoin, passed on 5 February.
So far one of the ransom notes was proven to be a hoax. Officials last week arrested the author of the bogus ransom note.
The family has indicated that they would be willing to pay for their mother’s safe return.
