It’s been almost two weeks since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Arizona home under mysterious circumstances. The Today Show host, Savannah Guthrie’s mother, was last seen at night on January 31, 2026 (ET) by her daughter, Annie Guthrie and son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni. Recently, the FBI got their hands on photos and videos of a masked person of interest and an unmasked individual who was seen in front of Nancy’s door a week before her abduction. Amid that, a sheriff investigating the case shared whether they have identified anyone specific as a suspect.
Is Carlos Palazeulos a suspect in Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping? Sheriff responds
Carlos Palazuelos is a 36-year-old delivery driver from Rio Rico, Arizona, who was stopped by law enforcement south of Tucson and detained for questioning. Authorities also searched his home and vehicle as part of the investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old, Nancy Guthrie. After several hours of questioning, he was released without charges; however, the public interest in him continued. Recently, during an interview with journalist Matt Finn, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was asked whether Carlos is currently a suspect in the case. He said they released Carlos at that time because they had “no reason” to detain him; however, he wouldn’t say whether they had cleared him yet.
