Federal investigators are reportedly exploring whether a potential neighborhood internet outage played a role in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

The disruption may have prevented nearby home security cameras from recording on the night the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie vanished, fueling concerns the abduction was executed with deliberate and technical planning.

One neighbor said his Ring camera history is mysteriously “not available” around the time that Guthrie was believed to have gone missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, according to a NewsNation report published on Friday, March 6. Other locals confirmed that FBI agents had asked them about a similar internet service disruption on February 1.

There are questions about whether the device seen in the suspect’s pocket on the night of Nancy’s disappearance was a signal jammer.

“This is the distance from where the ring cameras that went offline are located in relation to Nancy Guthrie’s house. It is open desert in between. You can see the roof of Nancy’s house when I zoom in,” NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin reported via X on March 6, showing the close proximity.

Nancy’s Nest doorbell camera captured a masked person, who the FBI has described as a man who is 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 tall and of average build, on that very evening. He was also seen carrying a black, 25-liter backpack from Ozark Trail, a brand exclusive to Walmart.

Authorities have put together a timeline as they follow various leads in hopes of reuniting Nancy with her loved ones.

Us Weekly has reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and FBI for comment.

Nancy was last seen on January 31 after going out for a family dinner via an Uber around 5:32 p.m. local time. She was later dropped off by family at her home at 9:48 p.m. Police were able to confirm the garage door closed at 9:50 p.m.

Hours later, at 1:57 a.m., Nancy’s doorbell camera was disconnected. At 2:12 a.m., software detected something on camera but footage was not available. (It’s unclear if that movement was from an animal or person.) Nancy’s pacemaker app showed it was disconnected from her phone just before 2:30 a.m.

It’s now been more than a month since Nancy went missing and law enforcement’s approach has likely shifted from a frantic “race against the clock” to what security expert Dan Donovan describes as a “controlled operation,” he exclusively told Us.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos recently spoke with NBC’s Liz Kreutz and said that officers are “definitely closer” to finding “a suspect or suspects” during an interview on the Today show, which aired Tuesday, March 3.

“We’ve got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it’s time to just go to work,” he added.

It appears that some residents’ security equipment was still working on the night in question as one doorbell video — obtained by Fox News — captured a car speeding down the road 2.5 miles from Nancy’s home around the time of her abduction.

“We’re aware of it and we’re looking into it, just like any other piece of evidence,” Nanos said.
