DoorDash, the company Palazuelos works for, issued a statement confirming they are cooperating with authorities: “We are urgently investigating reports that an individual detained in relation to the Nancy Guthrie case was a delivery driver. We have reached out to law enforcement and are ready to support their critical investigation in any way we can. Like tens of millions around the world, our hearts are with the Guthrie family during this heart-wrenching time.”
The case has also involved two ransom demands reportedly asking for $6 million in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return. While the notes did not include direct threats if the payment was not made, they have added urgency to the investigation.
Adding to the developments, the FBI released new surveillance images showing an unidentified individual tampering with the video doorbell at Nancy’s home on the morning of her disappearance. The person is dressed in a balaclava, gloves, a zipped jacket, and carrying a backpack. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the significance of the footage. “Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance,” Patel said.
Authorities continue to review all evidence, including the new surveillance images, and are asking the public for any tips that could help identify the person captured on camera. Law enforcement reminds residents to report verified information through official channels to avoid misinformation that could slow the investigation.
As the search enters its second week, the Guthrie family and community remain focused on one goal: bringing Nancy home safely. Savannah Guthrie continues to appeal to the public, urging anyone with information to come forward.
