Citing a source, Arizona\u2019s 13 News reported that \u201ca photo of the suspect in Nancy Guthrie\u2019s kidnapping appears to have been taken on a different day than the other photos previously released by the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Two photos obtained by NewsNation show the Nancy Guthrie suspect at her home on different days, sources confirm to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianEntin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BrianEntin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LibbeyDean_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LibbeyDean_<\/a> indicating the suspect appears to have visited Guthrie\u2019s house before the kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UeweYUpnr4\">https:\/\/t.co\/UeweYUpnr4<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zbGa57l1fJ\">pic.twitter.com\/zbGa57l1fJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NewsNation (@NewsNation) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsNation\/status\/2026111146609021110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 24, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department, though, threw cold water on the possibility, saying in a statement that \u201cwe are aware that doorbell images released earlier in the investigation depict a suspect in different stages of attire, including with and without a backpack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no date or time stamp associated with these images,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s department added. \u201cTherefore, any suggestion that the photographs were taken on different days is purely speculative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savannah Guthrie acknowledged her mother may no longer be alive \u2013 yet said she is still clinging to hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that millions of you have been praying. So many people have been praying \u2013 of every faith and no faith at all \u2013 praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home. Hope against hope, as my sister says \u2013 we are blowing on the embers of hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves, and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy. If this is what is to be, then we will accept it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we need to know where she is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The younger Guthrie announced a $1 million family reward for \u201cany information that leads us to her recovery.\u201d Meanwhile, she also said the family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know there are millions of families that have suffered with this kind of uncertainty,\u201d she said. \u201c&#8230; We are hoping that the attention that has been given to our mom and our family will extend to all the families
