Sheriff Nanos did say that investigators were still trying to work with a tech company on the difficult forensic task of recovering any video from the property, where Ms Guthrie had multiple cameras.<\/p>\n

Then on 10 February, FBI director Kash Patel said footage had been recovered via “backend systems”.<\/p>\n

Sharing video and pictures of the suspect on Ms Guthrie’s door, Mr Patel wrote on X: “Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely…<\/p>\n
