Police have detained someone for questioning in connection with Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.

The 84-year-old mother of the Today show presenter Savannah Guthrie has been missing since January 31, and authorities in Arizona - who declared her disappearance a crime on February 2 - have confirmed they detained an individual south of Tucson on Tuesday (10.02.26).

In a statement, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said: "Earlier today, Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies detained a subject during a traffic stop south of Tucson.

"The subject is currently being questioned in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

"Additional information will be released as it becomes available."

According to ABC, the authorities are preparing to search a location linked to the individual.

The update comes hours after the Pima County Sheriff's office released images and a video of a person with a hat over their face wearing gloves, with the figure appearing to have tampered with a camera at the victim's front door.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos wrote on X: "Working with our 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.
