Police have released a man just hours after detaining him in connection with the mysterious disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of U.S. news anchor Savannah Guthrie. The evening of her abduction is shrouded in intrigue as CCTV footage was also released showing a masked individual approaching her home.

After taking the man into custody at a traffic stop, police conducted a search at his residence in Rio Rico, Arizona. Following his release, Carlos—who claimed not to know who Nancy Guthrie was—asserted, I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it, adding that he had seen authorities trailing him but was not questioned extensively.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing over a week ago after family dropped her off at her home near Tucson. Her family's desperation has led to social media appeals for information. They have alerted the public to her serious health issues, emphasizing her need for medical attention and the desperation of the situation.

The FBI is actively investigating the case, offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy's whereabouts. Authorities continue their search, with significant public concern surrounding her health and well-being.

Video footage shared by Savannah Guthrie shows a masked individual tampering with the camera at her mother's front door on the night she disappeared. The individual appeared armed, raising questions regarding the circumstances of her abduction.
