The FBI has amassed as many as 10,000 hours of video in the investigation into the disappearance and possible abduction of Nancy Guthrie<\/a>, an FBI official said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The official described the collection, review and analysis of video as one of the key parts of the weekslong investigation, which began after Guthrie, 84, the mother of \u201cTODAY\u201d co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing Feb. 1.<\/p>\n

More on Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance<\/p>\n

Tools can be used to enhance the videos, but each one must be watched in real time, the FBI official said, noting that slowing them down or enhancing them takes more time.<\/p>\n

The official said additional canvassing was done last week to gather more material from camera systems in the Arizona neighborhood where Guthrie lives. <\/p>\n

Among the video is Ring camera footage obtained by Fox News Digital that shows a car driving around 2:30 a.m. the night Guthrie disappeared. The Pima County sheriff\u2019s office said it was aware of the video, which was taken about 2.5 miles from Guthrie\u2019s home. That is outside the 2-mile perimeter that investigators had sought video from. <\/p>\n

The FBI released a widely circulated security video two weeks ago<\/a> showing a masked, armed man with a backpack appearing to tamper with a Google Nest doorbell camera at Guthrie\u2019s home. <\/p>\n

Authorities have described the man as a suspect, but he has not been publicly identified. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has said investigators believe Guthrie was taken from her Tucson-area home, possibly in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

She was last seen around 9:45 p.m. Jan. 31 after dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie\u2019s home, Nanos has said. She was reported missing after she failed to show up at a friend’s house to watch a virtual church service.<\/p>\n

Savannah Guthrie announced Tuesday <\/a>that her family is offering a reward of up to $1 million for her mother\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease keep praying without ceasing,\u201d she said in an Instagram video. \u201cWe still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home, hope against hope. As my sister says, \u2018We are blowing on the embers of hope.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

FBI Director Kash Patel has said the images from the Nest camera were recovered from \u201cresidual data in backend systems\u201d because Guthrie did not have a subscription that would have saved the video.<\/p>\n

Patel said the images were captured the morning Guthrie disappeared. Two law enforcement sources told NBC News this week<\/a> that one of the images he released was captured earlier.<\/p>\n

The agency has declined to comment on possible dates linked to the image, which shows a masked man without a backpack. The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department has said any suggestion that it was taken on a different day is \u201cpurely speculative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities are examining other potential evidence, including DNA collected from Guthrie\u2019s home and related search locations. Nanos has said authorities may use genetic genealogy<\/a> \u2014 a forensic tool that combines advanced DNA analysis with traditional genealogical research \u2014 in the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The FBI has amassed as many as 10,000 hours of video in the investigation into the disappearance and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-493329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
