Why Nancy Guthrie's Suspect Surveillence Photos Took So Long for Police to Uncover

Law enforcement confirmed to Just Jared moments ago that there is a potential suspect in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance after a masked and gloved suspect was seen on her front door camera.

If you don’t know, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, Today show co-host, was last seen on Saturday (January 31) at her home in Arizona.

She was reportedly intended to meet up with a group to watch a live stream of a church service on Sunday (February 1), which is the day she was discovered to be missing.

The Sheriff’s office issued a statement to Just Jared, explaining why these images were not immediately available on Sunday (February 1).
