In Tucson, Arizona, authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, are considering the possibility of multiple individuals being involved in her potential abduction.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department revealed to Fox News Digital that while efforts continue to identify a person captured on doorbell camera footage, they are not dismissing the chance that more than one individual could be implicated. “The sheriff has consistently mentioned that investigators are focused on identifying the individual on the doorbell video, but they are open to the idea that more people might be involved,” a department spokesperson explained.

The investigation gained a crucial lead from surveillance footage captured by Nancy Guthrie’s Nest doorbell camera, which showed a masked figure attempting to tamper with the device outside her home.

The FBI has since released two images from the doorbell camera. It’s not yet confirmed if these images display the same person, adding complexity to the case.

Another still image provided by the FBI, seemingly from the same camera, depicts a man in attire similar to the one seen in the video. Notably, this individual does not appear to have a backpack or holster, leading experts and online sleuths to speculate about the involvement of a potential second suspect.

However, he does not appear to be carrying a backpack or holster, prompting speculation from experts and web sleuths alike that he may be a second suspect.

“I’ve been wondering about this still picture,” said Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas police lieutenant and the founder of The Wounded Blue.

The Fox Flight Team also obtained drone video showing what appear to be a pair of smashed floodlights at the back of the home. While it’s unclear when they were broken or if they were disabled in connection with the crime, it could be another indicator of multiple suspects, according to Sutton.

“You would break those floodlights so as not to be silhouette,” he told Fox News Digital. “It’s a common thing.”

He also said it would be easier with two people to force or carry the victim out of the home.

“I think that the individual at the front of the house was accompanied by somebody who made entry at the rear of the house, and there was probably a driver involved,” he said. “It would be very unwieldy to have just one person.”

Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and criminal justice professor at Penn State-Lehigh Valley, said the blood trail on Guthrie’s front steps supports this logic.

“My theory was that they had to have a vehicle around the corner to pick them up,” he told Fox News Digital. “That’s why she’s bleeding at the front door. They couldn’t park the vehicle right out front, or it could spook a nosy neighbor.”

While cell tower data has so far turned up no known leads, he suggested investigators get creative as the case drags on.

“I was so adamant about checking for a WiFi router — was there any connections at that time?” he added. “Can walkie-talkie devices also be traced somehow?”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday morning.

The FBI has described the suspect seen in surveillance images and video outside Nancy Guthrie’s front door around the time she vanished as a male between 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall, with an average build.

The only officially identified item of clothing he carried was a black, 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.

Guthrie is believed to have been abducted from her home around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1. No suspects, persons of interest or vehicles have been publicly identified since then.
