Former SWAT commander calls Ring video ‘best lead’ yet in Nancy Guthrie case, but urges caution
Ring camera video showing 12 vehicles passing through a Catalina Foothills neighborhood between midnight and 6 a.m. on Feb. 1 may represent the strongest public lead so far in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, according to a retired SWAT commander.
Some of the vehicles were recorded around 2:30 a.m., roughly when authorities said Guthrie’s pacemaker last synced with her iPhone.
Retired Pima County Search and Rescue Commander Bob Krygier said the footage is worth serious follow-up but cautioned it may ultimately prove unrelated.
“I think it’s a great little bit to follow up on if I had to guess I would say it’s probably not related,” he told Fox News Digital, explaining that investigators should first review several weeks of footage to determine whether the cars follow normal overnight routines.
Krygier noted the road where the Ring video captures is not one that drivers typically find by accident.
“It’s not just a road that you stumble upon,” he said. “You have to be very planned to go in there.”
Despite his hesitation, Krygier elevated the footage above other publicly known evidence at this point in Guthrie’s disappearance.
“I think this is the best lead probably since day one,” he said.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI has said that they have been alerted to the Ring video.

Savannah Guthrie reminds ‘reward can be paid in cash’ for tips on mom
Savannah Guthrie pleaded for people to send in more tips in a Friday Instagram Story. (SavannahGuthrie/Instagram)In a new Instagram story, Savannah Guthrie pleaded with people to send in tips, and to “be the one who brings her home,” referring to her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Guthrie posted a segment from the “Today” show where viewers were shown how to submit tips anonymously. She said that tips can be anonymous “and likely paid in cash.”
Former FBI agent Bryanna Fox told NBC News that people can submit tips anonymously by submitting a tip to Crime Stoppers, which will then provide individuals with a unique number or passcode, which will allow users to login to a website to see the status of the tip. If that tip leads to the identification of Guthrie or the conviction of suspects, this provides a way for the tipster to be notified and get information on how to collect the reward.
