TUCSON, ARIZONA: Authorities investigating the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie are reviewing Ring camera footage that captured multiple vehicles driving through her neighborhood around the time she was believed to have been taken.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in an interview that investigators are 'looking into' one specific vehicle seen in the video, but have not yet identified it.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing after authorities believed she was forcibly taken from her Tucson home in the early morning hours of February 1.

Sheriff Chris Nanos confirms Ring camera vehicle under review

The footage in question was obtained by Fox News Digital from a resident in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood. It reportedly shows 12 vehicles driving by on the morning of Nancy’s suspected abduction, including activity around 2:30 AM.

That time is significant. Authorities previously said Nancy’s pacemaker last synced with her iPhone at roughly the same hour.



When asked by NBC News about the Ring camera footage, Nanos confirmed that investigators were aware of it.

"We're aware of it, and we're looking into it. Just like any other piece of evidence," Nanos said.

NBC’s Liz Kreutz pressed further, asking whether authorities had identified the specific car seen driving past at 2:36 AM.

"No," Nanos responded.

"But you're looking to identify it?" Kreutz asked again.

"We're looking at that vehicle as well as hundreds of thousands of other vehicles that were out driving that time of day," Nanos said.

Investigators say they are ‘closer’ to finding the suspect

Despite the unanswered questions, Nanos suggested progress is being made behind the scenes.

"I think the investigators are definitely closer. We got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it's time to just go to work," he said.

Authorities have not publicly named any suspects, and the investigation remains active. Nancy has now been missing for over a month.

Officials believe she was taken from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1. The case has drawn national attention, in part because Nancy is the mother of 'Today' co-host Savannah Guthrie.

Neighbors say police did not initially canvas the area

Elias and Danielle Stratigouleas, who own the home where the Ring camera footage was recorded, told Fox News Digital that police had not canvassed their neighborhood before they shared the video.

The footage has since become one of the key public pieces of evidence in the case.

On February 24, Savannah Guthrie shared an emotional Instagram video announcing that her family is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to Nancy’s recovery.

She also said the family would donate $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

As the search continues, officials are urging anyone with information to come forward. People with tips about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance are asked to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI.
