The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has not commented on the arrests, as it has said through its spokesperson that it will no longer release daily information on Nancy’s case.
The arrest comes one day after Fox News said one of Nancy’s neighbors found footage from their Ring security camera, showing about a dozen cars driving down the street near the missing mother of three on the night of her abduction.
According to the source, these vehicles were caught on camera between 12 am and 6 am on February 1, the day a masked and armed robber was caught on camera approaching Nancy’s door.
Elias again Danielle Stratigouleas told Fox News that authorities did not ask for body camera footage, noting that they lived about half a mile outside the two-mile zone advertised by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
However, they have since informed authorities about the video.
A few hours earlier, it was revealed that the FBI reportedly made the decision to pull almost all the agents assigned to Nancy’s case in Tucson and return them to the agency’s headquarters in Phoenix – amid rumors that her daughter, “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, is preparing to leave Arizona and fly home to New York.
As the manhunt for Nancy nears its fourth week, law enforcement sources told ABC News that most of the agents sent to work on the ground near the 84-year-old’s home will now return to the nearest FBI headquarters.
Although some agents will sit down, others will continue their work on the case from the Phoenix office and it has been made clear that this development should not be considered a sign that the investigation is over or that the authorities have little hope of finding Nancy.
“The FBI will keep agents in Tucson and continue to work with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, but many agents are returning to Phoenix to work on the case there,” the outlet reported.
The update comes as the latest indication that the search for the missing mother-of-three is being postponed, with the Daily Mail later reporting that Savannah, 54, is preparing to leave Arizona and return to her home in New York, where she lives with her husband. Michael Feldmanand their two young children.
“He can’t stay in Arizona forever,” the insider said. “Her kids and her life are in New York City. That’s what her mother would have wanted her to do. Nancy was a huge advocate for Savannah.”
Savannah hasn’t been on the “Today” show since news of her mother’s disappearance broke, and she went to Arizona immediately after it was revealed that Nancy was missing. His former client,Hoda Kotbhe has been filling in for her since Feb. 2.
It is reported that the broadcaster has been living in a rented place in this area with his sister, Annieand his brother, Cameron.
Hours earlier, FBI agents were seen arriving at Nancy’s home in what was understood to be a “final sweep” of the property before it was returned to the 84-year-old’s family.
Photos and video taken outside a $1 million Tucson-area residence on a Feb. 1 afternoon. 25—almost one month after Nancy was supposedly abducted from her home—shows several officials arriving in a motorcade.
According to NBC News, officials spent two hours on the property searching the area outside the property, with sources revealing that the sweep was “related to efforts to return the home to the Guthrie family.”
Law enforcement officials have confirmed that they no longer see any reason to keep the house closed as a crime scene or to prevent Nancy’s relatives from entering the property.
There were no photos or tools when authorities showed up at the home, however a Pima County Sheriff’s Department truck was seen parked outside the home’s driveway.
On Feb. 24, Savannah shared her first video update with the public in more than a week, posting an emotional clip in which she revealed her family is offering a $1 million reward to anyone who provides information leading to Nancy’s return.
The mother of two admitted her mother may be dead, but said the family wants to know where she is—and to bring her home.
“We still believe in a miracle, we still believe that he can come home,” he said. “We also know that he may be lost. He may be gone. He may be back home with the Lord he loves and is dancing in heaven with his mother and father and brother that he loves.
“But we need to know where he is. We need him to come home. That’s why we’re offering the family a $1 million reward for any information that leads to his recovery.”
The Guthrie family’s reward will be in addition to the $100,000 already given to the FBI, as well as an additional $100,000 given by an anonymous donor.
“So please, if you hear this message, if you’ve been waiting and not convinced, let this be your sign of asking to come forward, tell what you know and help us bring our beloved mother home so we can celebrate a glorious, miraculous homecoming, or celebrate the beautiful, brave, courageous and honorable life she lived,” Savannah said.
“Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,” the TV host said in her caption.
Within 12 hours of that live broadcast, the FBI received 750 calls to its line, NBC News reported, adding to the tens of thousands of tips sent in since the beginning of the month.
