TUCSON, Arizona — FBI agents have recovered a black glove from a roadside near Nancy Guthrie’s house — potentially a major clue in the search for the masked thug who is suspected of abducting the 84-year-old woman, The Post can reveal.
Detectives found the clothing item, which resembles the pair worn by the armed perpetrator caught on video, about one and a half miles from the home of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother.

Video and pH๏τos show at least one member of the FBI Evidence Response team pulling the glove from the low, desert shrubbery in Guthrie’s secluded desert suburb at the edge of Tucson.
Authorities have not identified any suspects behind the presumed kidnapping, in which Guthrie seems to have been forced from her home, leaving a trail of blood behind.

The same day, authorities detained a person of interest for questioning near the Mexican border, however the person was released early this morning without charges.
The FBI discovered the glove as part of an “extensive search” of the neighborhood in which agents were out in force combing the roadsides.

Investigators would not comment when asked about potential piece of evidence.
The person of interest arrested Tuesday was Carlos Palazuelos, a delivery driver from the border town of Rio Rico who was slapped in cuffs after being pulled over south of Tucson.

Palazuelos, now free, insisted he had nothing to do with Guthrie’s abduction, hadn’t even heard of the woman, and demanded an apology from authorities, according to WDBJ.
Meanwhile, a mysterious note was sent to TMZ Wednesday morning demanding a Bitcoin transfer in exchange for information about Guthrie’s captor.
TMZ reported that the $67,000 payment would be in exchange for the “name of the individual involved.”
The letter, the third alleged note sent out since Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31, contained details of a working bitcoin address, TMZ host Harvey Levin said during Wednesday’s appearance on Fox News’ “America Newsroom.”
The bitcoin address is different from the one featured in the original ransom note, which was sent to two Tucson-area TV news stations along with TMZ last week.
The self-proclaimed kidnappers demanded millions of dollars in crypto currency, setting a final ᴅᴇᴀᴅline for Monday, Feb. 9.
Yet the letter’s authors have not provided proof of life or further information, despite Savannah Guthrie saying her family would pay if it meant getting her mother back safe.
TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) – The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has released a statement on Monday regarding the ongoing case in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. This comes after the second ᴅᴇᴀᴅline in the alleged ransom note pᴀssed hours ago.
On Feb. 9, the FBI released a statement saying agents, analysts and professional staff have been working around the clock for more than a week to reunite Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, with her family.
“The FBI is not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers, nor have we identified a suspect or person of interest in this case at this time,” the FBI said.
Officials stated that additional personnel from FBI field offices across the United States will continue to deploy to Tucson to help with the investigations.
“We are currently operating a 24-hour command post that includes crisis management experts, analytic support, and investigative teams,” the FBI said. “But we still need the public’s help.”
Shortly before the 2 p.m. ᴅᴇᴀᴅline in the alleged ransom note, Savannah uploaded a message on Instagram asking asking the Tucson community, and those across the country, to send any tips that can help law enforcement in the investigation.
“She was taken and we don’t know where, and we need your help,” Savannah said.
Those who may have information regarding the investigation are urged to contact PCSD at 520-351-4900 or call 9-1-1. Tips can also be sent to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI. The FBI is also offering a $50,000 reward for information that can lead to an arrest regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
PCSD has established a Tip Line QR code where the public can submit pH๏τos or videos directly to PCSD.
Nancy Guthrie is described as 5 foot 5 inches tall, 150 pounds, has brown hair, and has blue eyes. We are told that Nancy Guthrie is in frail health and is without the daily medications she needs to survive. Nanos confirmed the 84-year-old lived alone.
88-CRIME is offering a reward up to $2,500 is being offered for any information that can lead to an arrest or arrests in Guthrie’s disappearance. Anyone with a tip can contact 88-CRIME at 520-882-7463, where they can remain anonymous. PCSD also would like to respectfully reminds everyone that the tip line is for tips and information related to the case, and is not meant for condolences.
SHOCKING TWIST: THE “INNOCENT” DOG COLLAR JUST BLEW THE CASE WIDE OPEN — AND THE SECRET AUDIO IS CHILLING.
No one expected a pet accessory to become the explosive turning point. While bathing her mother’s dog, Savannah Guthrie reportedly removed the collar — only to discover a high-end tracking device hidden inside, complete with a concealed microphone. What it allegedly captured has left insiders stunned: the unmistakable rip of industrial tape… followed by a woman’s voice that sounded disturbingly familiar.
Sources are calling it a “lethal breakthrough.” A leaked background noise analysis is said to point toward an idenтιтy investigators are reluctant to name publicly. The case, once straightforward, has now taken a darker and far more complicated turn. And if that voice truly belongs to who many suspect… the real question is no longer what happened — but who has been hiding in plain sight all along?
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with ᴀssistance from the FBI, has detained an individual for questioning in connection with the abduction of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News.
The individual was detained in a location south of Tucson, the source said, and law enforcement is now searching a location ᴀssociated with the individual.
In a statement on social media, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said deputies “detained a subject during a traffic stop.”
A court-authorized search was being carried out by the sheriff’s department, with ᴀssistance of the FBI’s Evidence Response Team, at a location in Rio Rico, Arizona, about 60 miles south of Tucson, related to the investigation, the department said. The operation was expected to last several hours, according to the department.

The developments followed the first images released of a masked man approaching Nancy Guthrie’s front door and as investigators continued to search in her neighborhood.
However, there’s no indication that the person who was detained is the figure seen in the newly released video footage.
Earlier Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel released images and video of an “armed individual” in connection with the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.

The images showed someone wearing a mask, gloves, a backpack and armed with a holstered handgun at the front door of Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson-area home around the time investigators suspect she was abducted on Feb. 1.
“[L]aw enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance,” Patel said in his post.

The Guthrie family was shown the images before their public release, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Savannah Guthrie posted the images to her Instagram account, with the message, “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home.”
In a second Instagram post on Tuesday afternoon, Savannah Guthrie wrote, “Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”
Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home on Sunday, Feb. 1, according to authorities. A Monday ransom ᴅᴇᴀᴅline by persons claiming to be Guthrie’s abductors pᴀssed as the search for her continues.
Patel said the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s office worked with “private sector partners” in recent days to recover the video footage, which Patel said had been “lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices.”

“The video was recovered from residual data located in the backend systems,” Patel said. “Working with four partners — as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump was briefed on the latest details in the case and was reviewing the video footage posted online by Patel.
“We’re just praying for the safety of Nancy Guthrie and that she will return home soon. And the president directed me to please encourage all Americans with any information to call the FBI, and we hope that this case will come to a positive resolution as soon as possible,” Leavitt said.
The latest development in the case came a day after Savannah Guthrie made an impᴀssioned plea to the public to help solve her mother’s disappearance.
“We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help,” Savannah Guthrie said in an Instagram video, speaking directly to the camera. It was the fourth video that Guthrie and her two siblings had released on social media since their mother vanished.
The exact time of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is unclear. Her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., on Feb. 1, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. At 2:12 a.m., the camera software detected a person, and at 2:28 a.m., Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker app disconnected from her phone, which was left behind at her house, Nanos said.
Over the weekend, the Guthrie family received a demand for a bitcoin ransom by a Monday ᴅᴇᴀᴅline by a party claiming to be Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings said they’d pay for their mother’s return.
“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah Guthrie said in an Instagram video over the weekend. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
After the ransom ᴅᴇᴀᴅline pᴀssed Monday evening, the FBI released a statement, saying its agents continued to work around the clock on the case and that more were being sent to Arizona to ᴀssist in the investigation.
“The FBI is not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers, nor have we identified a suspect or person of interest in this case at this time,” the FBI said in its statement.
The bureau added that additional personnel from FBI field offices nationwide would continue to be deployed to the Tucson area to work on the case
“We are currently operating a 24-hour command post that includes crisis management experts, analytic support, and investigative teams. But we still need the public’s help,” the FBI’s statement said. “Someone has that one piece of information that can help us bring Nancy home.”
Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
