Nancy Guthrie Timeline: Software Captured Possible 'Person on Camera' at 2:12 AM

The Pima County sheriff has released an updated timeline in the mysterious disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie.

In one of the newest details, the sheriff, Chris Nanos, revealed that software logged a "person on camera" at Guthrie's home at 2:12 a.m. on Sunday, February 1. Nanos released a detailed timeline in the vexing case, and he reiterated that authorities do not have a suspect or person of interest identified.

"We really just want mom back," he said in a February 5 press conference. "We believe Nancy is out there. We want her home."

Guthrie's three kids released a video on February 4, pleading with the kidnapper or kidnappers to release Guthrie and at least make contact with them. The FBI is involved and reiterated at the news conference that the family has not received "proof of life" despite three alleged ransom notes being sent to media outlets.

Nanos also made several other revelations during the news conference.

The Sheriff Gave a Detailed Timeline of the Nancy Guthrie Disappearance

The sheriff released this timeline:

• 5:32 p.m. "Nancy travels to her local family’s home for dinner and playing games with the family, just visiting." The New York Times previously reported that this dinner was with Nancy's daughter, Annie Guthrie, a poet, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni. According to the sheriff, Nancy used an Uber driver for this trip, and authorities tracked him down and spoke with him.
• 9:48 p.m. "Nancy was dropped off at home. We know that because we have the garage door open at approximately 9:48 p.m.," the sheriff said. The Times reported that the person who dropped Nancy "safely" off was Cioni.
• 9:50 p.m. The garage door closes. "At that time, we assume that Nancy’s home and probably going to bed," Nanos added.
• 1:47 a.m. Sunday morning. The "doorbell camera disconnects."
• 2:12 a.m. Software "detects a person on a camera, but there’s no video available. They had no subscription, and therefore, it would rewrite itself; it just kind of loops and covers up." The sheriff said authorities are working to extract more information from the software. "It detects a person on camera," he said.
• 2:28 a.m. "Nancy's pacemaker app shows it was a disconnect from the phone."
• 11:56 a.m. "The family checks on Nancy and discovers her missing," the sheriff said.
• 12:03 p.m. 911 is called and, 10 minutes later, the patrol teams arrived.

The sheriff said the doorbell camera was removed, but "we are not confirming any cameras were smashed or destroyed around the house."

He confirmed that a car that was "at the home" was "pulled out" for scrutiny by investigators based on "standard" investigative techniques involving a search warrant and court orders.

DNA on the Front Porch Traced to Nancy Guthrie's Blood, the Sheriff Said

Nanos said the Guthrie family is "hurt, understandably so." The sheriff revealed that authorities "rushed through the DNA and got some back. The blood on the porch...it came back to Nancy." He said authorities are awaiting the result from other DNA tests.

"I know there's been a lot out there about suspects," he said. "At this time, we have not identified a suspect or a person of interest in this case; we are working our best to do this. We have nobody of interest or any suspects you would consider a prime suspect. We're not there yet."

The sheriff ticked off a number of other claims that have hit the media. "Someone had mentioned there was forced entry," he said. "I have no clue where that comes from. I'm not discussing that at all, whether it's forced entry or not. I don't know where anybody got that information."

Heith Janke, special agent in charge of the FBI's Phoenix division, was also at the press conference. He announced a $50,000 reward in the case. The FBI is actively reviewing and analyzing information from banks, social media, phone companies, and more, he said.

Janke confirmed that a ransom letter was "sent to local media and then to national outlets. We are taking it seriously." He stressed that "any action taken on any ransom is ultimately decided by the family."

He also warned any "imposters trying to take advantage and profit from this situation" that "we will investigate." In fact, authorities charged a Los Angeles man named Derrick Callella with texting Nancy's daughter and son-in-law, although there is no indication he had anything to do with the kidnapping.

The Sheriff Says That Authorities Have Not Ruled Anyone Out as a Suspect

The sheriff said that no one in the case has been ruled out as a suspect yet.

"Nobody's eliminated. We just don't have enough to say this is our suspect, this is our guy or gal," said the sheriff. "It's really kind of reckless to say someone is a suspect when they could very well be a victim." He added, "Nothing is off the table."

"There has been no proof of life," he confirmed. Asked whether the door camera was taken, he said, "We do not have it in our possession. We have not located it."

"We also know this is day four or five, and we still don't know that she's getting her medication. That could in and of itself prove fatal," Nanos added.

"We would be irresponsible if we didn't talk to everyone. The Uber driver, the gardener, the pool guy," said the sheriff. "Everyone is still a suspect in our eyes. Does that mean we have a prime suspect? No. The family has been very cooperative. They have done everything we've asked of them. People can be mean out there."

The sheriff said he has received no indication that the case traces to "anything over the Mexican border." Asked whether it's possible that Guthrie is being held outside the U.S., authorities said they haven't ruled anything out. The sheriff said it was "absolutely a possibility" that Guthrie's disappearance has "nothing to do with kidnapping." Nanos declined to say whether authorities believe Guthrie was targeted. He said it was "certainly a possibility when somebody disappears in the middle of the night out of their home."

Authorities said the ransom notes set a deadline of 5 p.m. on February 5, followed by a second deadline of next Monday. Nanos said there was "nothing to indicate" that Guthrie was taken because she's Savannah Guthrie's mom.
