The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office have announced the arrest of an individual related to the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a co-host on TODAY.

On Tuesday, the FBI’s renowned hostage rescue team was dispatched to Tucson, accompanied by numerous SWAT teams operating across various counties.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the FBI, has detained an individual for questioning in connection with the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News.

The individual was detained in a location south of Tucson, the source said, and law enforcement is preparing to search a location associated with the individual. […]

The images showed someone wearing a mask, gloves, a backpack and armed with a holstered handgun at the front door of Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson-area home around the time investigators suspect she was abducted on Feb. 1.
