They want this guy, and they want to catch him fast.”<\/p>\n Winfrey said the FBI\u2019s public release of the images<\/a> indicates investigators are looking for additional tips to help confirm the subject\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NANCY GUTHRIE’S FAMILY AS SHERIFF SAYS ‘EVERYBODY’S STILL A SUSPECT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This image released by the FBI shows an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026.<\/span> (Provided by FBI)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “They\u2019re releasing the data because they want that additional help,” he said.<\/p>\n Winfrey said one detail that stands out is the subject\u2019s apparent familiarity with surveillance cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This guy obviously knew how to disconnect those cameras<\/a> or knew about those cameras,” Winfrey said, referencing reports that a doorbell camera at Guthrie\u2019s Tucson home was tampered with.<\/p>\n Based on his experience covering fugitive cases, Winfrey said crimes involving that level of awareness are often not random.<\/p>\n “Most of the time it was not random,” he said. “There was always some kind of a resentment or there was some kind of a connection involved.”<\/p>\n NANCY GUTHRIE WAS EXPECTED AT FRIEND\u2019S HOME, NOT CHURCH ON DAY SHE VANISHED: SOURCE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This image released by the FBI shows an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance in Tuscon, Arizona, on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026.<\/span> (Provided by FBI)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Winfrey said investigators will likely be examining whether the subject had prior access to the property or any familiarity with the victim.<\/p>\n Winfrey said his initial thoughts included the possibility of cross-border criminal activity, given Tucson\u2019s proximity to Mexico and cases he has previously worked on involving kidnappings for ransom.<\/p>\n “Before I heard this news this morning, I was assuming Tucson\u2019s very close to the Mexican border<\/a> \u2014 it could have been someone who came across,” he said.<\/p>\n That assessment changed, he said, after learning authorities believe the images show a single individual.<\/p>\n “Now with this new news about it looks like it\u2019s one individual, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s thinking,” Winfrey said. “Is it a quick grab? Is it some kind of cash thing? Or is there more motive behind it?”<\/p>\n Winfrey said the FBI and Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department<\/a> are likely limiting what they release publicly as they work to locate the subject.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s all hands on deck. This is a high-profile case,” he said. “They\u2019re digging deep and they\u2019re probably keeping it close to the chest because they want to catch this guy.”<\/p>\n He added that investigators are working quickly to prevent further harm.<\/p>\n “They\u2019re busting their asses right now,” Winfrey said. “They want to catch this guy before he does anything harmful \u2014 to Ms. Guthrie or anybody else.”<\/p>\n 41-MINUTE TIMELINE IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE RAISES RED FLAGS FROM EX-HOMICIDE DETECTIVE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This image released by the FBI show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance in Tuscon, Arizona, Sunday, February 1, 2026.<\/span> (Provided by FBI)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Winfrey said he believes authorities have more information than they are sharing publicly at this stage.<\/p>\n “I think these guys know a lot more than they\u2019re letting on to the public,” he said.<\/p>\n Winfrey emphasized that advances in surveillance and biometric technology<\/a> have changed how cases like this are investigated.<\/p>\n “The eye is your total ID now,” he said. “Retina identification is very powerful.”<\/p>\n Attempts to conceal identity, he added, are increasingly ineffective.<\/p>\n “You\u2019re not gonna get away with it,” Winfrey said.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As investigators continue working to identify and locate the subject, Winfrey said the case appears to be progressing<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s just a matter of time,” he said.<\/p>\n Stepheny Price covers crime, including missing persons, homicides and migrant crime.
