CNN anchors Brianna Keilar And Boris Sanchez explained Thursday why officials were investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie do not have the doorbell camera footage from the 84-year-old’s Arizona home from the night they believe she was taken by force.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office discussed the doorbell footage, along with a $50,000 reward now being offered for Guthrie’s recovery. They also offered a timeline of Guthrie’s whereabouts on Sunday.
“A lot of detail in this timeline,” Sanchez began. “It essentially starts Saturday at about 5:30 PM when Nancy goes to a local family’s house. Apparently she was picked up by an Uber driver. Officials interviewed that driver. She gets home around 9:48 PM. The garage door opens at 9:50 PM, the garage door closes, and at 1:47 AM the doorbell camera from Nancy Guthrie’s house is disconnected.”
“Now officials won’t go into detail about how that came about. The sheriff there seemed to dispel the idea that cameras had been vandalized. In particular, he said that software had detected a person on the camera at 2:12 a.m. He said it could even be an animal. So it’s not confirmed,” Sánchez said.
“They don’t have the video,” Keilar interjected.
“They don’t have the video in part because (authorities say) the family did not subscribe to those cameras,” Sánchez continued. “And so the footage itself was reset. They weren’t able to actually collect it.”
Authorities said Thursday they believed “Nancy is still out there,” Keilar said.
They also revealed that the blood found at Guthrie’s front door tested positive for her DNA. In addition, they announced one arrest on Thursday of a suspect who allegedly created a fake ransom note for profit.
Guthrie is the mother of Today Toon host Savannah Guthrie and two siblings who released an anguished video Wednesday night pleading for their mother’s safe return.
