NEW YORK, NY – Federal investigators are examining newly released video footage from the morning Nancy Guthrie disappeared, as the search for the mother of NBC “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie enters its second week with authorities seeking public assistance.
Former senior FBI profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole provided analysis of the video evidence during an appearance on CBS News, noting behavioral observations about an unidentified subject captured in the footage. “The individual doesn’t seem nervous,” O’Toole told CBS’s “The Daily Report,” though she declined to elaborate on specific details that led to her assessment.
The video was recorded on the morning Nancy Guthrie was last seen, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation. Authorities have not disclosed the location where the footage was obtained or identified the subject being analyzed by the FBI profiler.
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has prompted a multi-agency investigation, with federal authorities working alongside local law enforcement to examine all available evidence. The case has drawn national attention due to her daughter’s prominent role as a television journalist.
O’Toole, who spent decades analyzing criminal behavior for the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, emphasized that video evidence can provide crucial insights into investigations involving missing persons. Her expertise in criminal profiling has been utilized in numerous high-profile cases throughout her career.
Investigators are encouraging anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts to contact local authorities. The search effort has expanded to include multiple jurisdictions as law enforcement agencies coordinate their response.
The “Today” show has not provided official comment on the ongoing investigation, with NBC News referring all inquiries to appropriate law enforcement agencies handling the case.
