Chapter 1: What recent developments have occurred in the Nancy Guthrie case?
Hey, Morning Wire listeners, this is Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake. We have breaking news in the Nancy Guthrie case, so we're bringing you the latest episode of Finding Nancy Guthrie, a Daily Wire true crime investigation.
Building up over a grueling 10 days, there have been a series of rapid fire breaks in this case, starting with authorities detaining a person for questioning in connection to the disappearance of 84-year-old grandmother Nancy Guthrie in Rio Rico, Arizona. TMZ is reporting activity inside the Bitcoin wallet listed in Nancy Guthrie's ransom note.
So about 12 minutes ago, we saw activity in that account.
Activity like what?
That's what I can't talk about. There are reasons I can't.
And a terrifying video of an armed intruder covered in a ski mask has been released by the FBI from Nancy's front door camera. As authorities track suspects, is this amateur hour, a professional criminal, or someone close to the family?
I think that the evidence points to familiarity. The track record of kidnapping cases, I think, is over 90% people who are familiar with the family, a family friend, a family member.
What does Savannah Guthrie think of this new video? Is there a chance her mother is still alive? And today, a pizza delivery driver just walked up to Nancy's front door to drop off a pizza without deputies even noticing. What is going on with this crime scene? I'm Lyndon Blake and this is Finding Nancy Guthrie, a Daily Wire true crime investigation.
We are in the late hours of Tuesday, February 10th, day 10, in the search for Nancy Guthrie. And this evening, we have had so many updates in this case. It all started with that big break, that footage from the doorbell camera on Nancy's front porch of that masked armed suspect that came out earlier Tuesday. But since then, guys...

Chapter 2: What evidence has emerged regarding the ransom note and Bitcoin activity?
And this all again happened after that big break. That person, we've said it and we'll continue to say it. When you have footage that clear, and we're gonna get into that footage in a little bit, and we're gonna dissect it frame by frame, but that is clear footage. And someone's gonna recognize that person in the footage.
And it seems like the authorities were given so many tips to follow up on after that footage went public that FBI Director Cash Patel put out. Also, there were SWAT team vehicles that rapidly picked up, left the Sheriff's Department. And since that person was detained, we know that a lot of those SWAT vehicles have been brought back to the station. So it seems like the mission was clear.
They were heading down south of Tucson to Rio Rico to find someone and detain someone for questioning. Now, I want to be clear, this is not a suspect. There is no charges in this case. This is someone that has been detained, being described as a subject for questioning in relation to the Nancy Guthrie case. But again, a huge development in addition to the Bitcoin activity.
We have learned that TMZ and KGUN, two of the three outlets that received that first ransom note, have reported activity inside that Bitcoin wallet who had that Bitcoin address listed in the ransom note. KGUN said the amount was less than $300, but they can visibly see activity in that wallet. This is huge. We know the ransom was $6 million in Bitcoin. The final deadline was Monday at 5pm.
We don't know if this was a test amount.

Chapter 3: What details can we gather from the released video of the armed intruder?
We don't know if this amount was sent yesterday. And it takes a little bit to show up in the Bitcoin wallet, but a huge development on that part of the investigation. And of course, we have got to get to this terrifying video coming from Nancy Guthrie's front doorbell camera.
We have a treasure chest of information after FBI Director Kash Patel released photos and multiple videos of an armed person tampering with a doorbell camera on Nancy's front door. This is terrifying? The guy? Ski mask? He had a backpack that was packed. I mean, you think about a backpack just absolutely packed to the rim with stuff, gloves on, and comes up to the door.
And he spends a lot of time messing with the camera. In the images, there are things that immediately stuck out to me. And it's terrifying, but you can look directly into this person's eyes. And I'm going to say person, but we can all assume it's a man. And the FBI has said to a local station that was inquiring about this that it was a man.
So there hasn't been officially in a statement like this is a man. But just so you guys know, the FBI referred to this person as a him. So I'm going to assume we're talking about a man here. But you're looking at this man's eyes. He's looking directly in the camera. And you can see a lot about his eye shape, his eyebrows. Clear as day on this doorbell camera.
And then you see in another picture a mustache. You see some facial hair there that, you know, not completely a full picture because obviously there's a ski mask. But it's there and you can see it. But what is so telling to me is the video that was released. And I mean clear video footage. 27 seconds of it, where you see this man walking around Nancy Guthrie's front porch area.
In these photos, what sticks out to me, a very visible, reflective backpack.

Chapter 4: What do experts say about the familiarity of the suspect in kidnapping cases?
And then you can see, holding in one of these photos, in the person's left hand, he has his hand on a gun there in the holster, FBI experts saying it's a semi-automatic gun. there just directly in front on his front side there in his left hand. And from this photo, you can...
Assume that he may be right-handed based on the way the gun's facing in the holster, the handle of the guns pointed towards his right hand, meaning when he pulls it out with his right hand, it's right there at the handle, but just to give you a picture.
But so we know he's armed, has a gun there on his waist, no telling what's in the backpack, but a very reflective, distinctive backpack, which comes up even more so in the video.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of the pizza delivery incident at the crime scene?
And the video is incredible to me. When we first got the tip on Tuesday that this video was gonna be released or footage rather, it just said from surveillance. And in my head, I'm thinking it could be anything. It could be from a gas station, red light camera, you name it. But this is from the video from the doorbell that was disconnected at 147 on Nancy Guthrie's front door. So in the video,
You see him take his right hand and almost tap on the camera. And then he's trying to cover it up. He's finagling with it a little bit. And then he turns around where you get a clear look at his backpack. And he walks. You can get a clear look at his gait. And then he goes over off the front step there and picks up grass from a bush.
And in another video that Cash Patel put out, he takes this grass, the person at the front door, and he's trying to cover up the camera with it. And that was really confusing to a lot of people. Like, okay, well, the guy had been thinking... well, I can't do what I need to do with this camera without my face glaring into it, as we saw in the photos.
So now he went back out and got some grass and trying to camouflage the lens of the camera while he tries to disconnect it. But cannot stress enough, he walks through the archway on this front porch where you can take stills of this. And obviously this is what investigators are doing and trying to figure out how tall this person is. But when these photos and videos came out,
Cash Patel was like, look at them. Study them. Study the backpack. Try to figure out who this person is. Look at the way they walk. Look at the shoes. And, of course, now these images have come public. That's exactly what people are doing. People are saying, oh, his foot looks to be this size.
Oh, those pants look like 5'11 cargo pants, which 5'11 is a store, and there's a lot of stores there in Arizona. Just going through the wheelhouse of who this could be and huge break in the investigation because... I was talking to experts about this and they all agree. But once you get something to look at, even if it's a masked photo, someone at home is gonna know who this is.
They've had an inkling, Over the last 10 days, hmm, it wouldn't shock me if so-and-so was involved. Just that gut, icky feeling. But now you have these images and videos where someone's like, oh my goodness, I've seen that reflective backpack before. Or... That looks like so-and-so. Call the tip line. That is what this is going to do.
Cash Fatale said that they worked with private companies to get this footage because, again, remember, this was the camera where originally Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said... that there was no subscription, and they didn't give up hope. And we said that. You know, he said, right now we don't have images, but we're not ruling that out. They had to go through private companies.
They had to work with Nest and Google and all these companies to go back on this server and get these images. A huge break in the case. Cannot state it enough how important this is to figuring out who did this. Now, I do want to point out, this is from... All the images and videos are from the same camera. We know there was a camera taken off the roof on Friday, the FBI agents have.
