New imagess and video have been released in the Nancy Guthrie case. According to recently shared information, investigators recovered the images from previously inaccesible footage stored from a Nest cam showing an individual at Guthrie’s front door on the morning she disappeared.
Investigators have returned to the Guthrie home in recent days, including detectives from the Pima County Sheriff's Office, which still has jurisdiction over the case.
It has been nine days since Guthrie was reported missing from her home in the Tucson area, and with the release of this new image, the investigation has reached a point where public awareness can make a real difference.

Earlier this week, investigators announced that “Vandy Jane Doe” had been identified as Yadezia Jones, a 25-year-old from Nashville.
She was given the nickname after investigators first encountered her along Sulphur Creek Road on September 8, 2018. At the time, the most consistent detail available was her clothing. She was wearing Vanderbilt University apparel, and with no identification and no immediate leads, that detail became the way investigators referred to her publicly as they searched for answers. Early attempts to connect her to missing person reports were unsuccessful.
Over the years, investigators continued working to identify her, including releasing a forensic rendering through NCMEC in hopes someone might recognize her. Those efforts did not lead to a confirmed identification.
A breakthrough came through genetic genealogy. Investigators worked with Othram to develop a DNA profile and begin tracing family connections. In September 2025, DNA Investigative Solutions was granted access to that profile, and by December, their work had identified a likely parent. That process ultimately led to confirmation that the woman known as “Vandy Jane Doe” was Yadezia Jones.
Investigators say the case remains active as they work to understand what happened in the days leading up to her being found. Anyone with information related to Yadezia Jones is asked to contact Nashville authorities.

A second deadline is fast approaching in the Nancy Guthrie case. Earlier today Savannah Guthrie shared a new video message, saying the family believes her mother is still alive and asking for help from anyone who may have information. She noted that time is becoming increasingly critical for their family.
The 84-year-old was taken from her home against her will during the overnight hours of February 1st. In the days that followed, multiple media outlets received emails making financial demands in exchange for her return.
According to those messages, tonight, Monday night at 5:00 p.m. MST, marks a second deadline. The email describes this deadline as “far more consequential” than the earlier one set for last Thursday evening.
