6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: Twitter acts new images in the search for Nancy Guthrie.

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: The story is out of control.

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: It's weirder and weirder by the second. Tony Katz, Tony

9
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: Katz today, good to be here, good to be with you.

10

Speaker 2: And this is what is put out by Cash Pattel.

11
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: The FBI Director. Over the last eight days, the.

12
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: FBI and Peba County Sheriff's Department have been working closely

13
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: with our private sector partners to continue to recover any

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie's home that may

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible to a variety due

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices.

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: The video was recovered from residual data located in back

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: end systems. Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie.

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie is the host of The Today Show and

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie eighty four years old living in Arizona, went missing,

21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: and there is a belief that she was taken kidnapped,

22
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: that there is a hostage situation, that there is a ransom,

23
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: and there have been a series of deadlines that have

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: been set and have passed, and according to the reporting,

25
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: there was it no notification from or no connection to

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: the alleged kidnappers, no response from them.

27
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: It's all very odd.

28
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: And I will say to you that this situation is

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: very odd, and I am one of the people who

30
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: is asking is this just incompetence that we're seeing.

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: In the investigation? Is some of it purposeful?

32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Now that's the part that I think that throws people

33
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: that very often in these situations, what looks disjointed and

34
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: what looks confusing is purposeful because the objective is to

35
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: engage here while you're searching there, to find a mistake,

36
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: or to engage someone so you can actually.

37
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: Get to a level of rescue.

38
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Right, it doesn't play as I guess we would describe

39
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: it as linear. And not being any expert on hostage

40
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: negotiations or tactics at all, I don't have anything else.

41
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: I can offer here.

42
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: What I've sad said from the beginning is this is

43
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: a very ugly situation because if this can now be

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: a thing.

45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: You're not. You didn't go after Savannah Guthrie.

46
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: You went after Mom to get to Savannah Guthrie so

47
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: you can get her money, so you can get NBC's money.

48
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: Were what was the what was the thing happening here?

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: And then you've got a hundred other things that you

50
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: can ask like, this is so weird. I wonder if

51
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: this is even legit, which is a legitimate thing to say.

52
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't know yet, I have no clue as to

53
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: what we're looking at here. Cash Hotel continues, And part

54
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: of this was because it was it was known that

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: the ring camera system that Mom had, Nancy Guthrie had

56
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: was kind of ripped off the walls missing.

57
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Someone took the camera.

58
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: But of course there's footage that already exists on the

59
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: camera working with our partner's writes Cash Betel, FBI director.

60
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: As of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously

61
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have

62
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: tampered with the camera at Nancy got through his front

63
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: door during the morning of the disappearance, and anyone with

64
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: information tips dot FBI dot gov or one eight hundred

65
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: call FBI. So now this is the imagery. There is

66
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: a guy is that is that a gun in his

67
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: left hand? So he's pants, sneakers, a zip up sweater.

68
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: I guess we'll call it.

69
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: It's not a jacket. It looks more like it would

70
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: be fleece, like a sche mask. You could see the eyes.

71
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: I'm assuming the dude is white based on the eyes.

72
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: Black gloves, a backpack, and I guess in the left

73
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: hand that's a firearm. But it's not like they're holding

74
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: the gun. It's like they're holding a holster and the

75
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: gun is in the holster. It's kind of pointed down.

76
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: That's the way it looks to me. So that's one

77
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: of the photos which brings us.

78
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: To a shot of I'm sorry, is that a man

79
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: or a woman?

80
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: Now saying it's a shot directly almost like head on,

81
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: and I can't one hundred percent tell if that's a

82
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: man or that's a woman. And are those flowers in

83
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: the left hand right in front of the camera.

84
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: Weird?

85
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: Then there is another shot where the gun is still

86
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: kind of it's on the person like directly in front

87
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: like beltline, and then yeah, right, and then and then

88
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: being held on with the left hand and then the

89
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: right hand is kind in front of the camera. And

90
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: by the way, you know, we're live streaming and the

91
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: chat rooms, like, it does look like a woman, right,

92
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: the eyes and the lashes.

93
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: Didn't it. I wasn't making that up like it does.

94
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Because the arithma the first image like, it looks like

95
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: a guy. Then that second image you're like, wait a second.

96
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: The third image is the same thing, looks like a woman.

97
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: Then you get to the fourth image, which has more

98
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: of a close up of the face, and this is

99
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: a knit.

100
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 3: Scheme mask. Now I think you could see.

101
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: A little bit of the hole of the mount there

102
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: and that looks like that could be a mustache. So

103
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: I could you know, you can't tell. I'm just telling

104
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: you that just it looked a little bit odd. So

105
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: these are the images that are now out and people

106
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: are going to examine these things every which way.

107
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: But loose.

108
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 2: By the way, it wasn't a ring camera. It seems

109
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: to be a Nest camera because it says Nest on

110
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: the on the on the imagery an e s t

111
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: right that company. I don't I don't know, I don't

112
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: know what to say here the whole thing is just

113
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: so peculiar. But there is no part of this with

114
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: family being targeted. This is concerning, So it's true. We

115
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't be paying as much attention to the story if

116
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: it wasn't somebody.

117
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: Who was on national television daily.

118
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason we're paying attention to

119
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: it is that that's what happened to and it does

120
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: make it even more of a story because was that

121
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: part of the targeting.

122
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: There's a concern there, a legitimate concern.

123
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: So that's the latest on Nancy Guthrie, whom I hope

124
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: they find safe and healthy.

125
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: We've got a brief in coming up. I will bring

126
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: it to you when it begins. Keep it here. I'm

127
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today
