Earlier this week, a person was detained for questioning but that person was later released. Carlos Palazuelos told reporters, “I hope they get the suspect, because I am not it.” He is a delivery driver who was pulled over near his home south of Tucson. He said that he was questioned about his whereabouts and that he may have delivered a package to Guthrie’s house.
That same day, the FBI released images of a masked individual seen at Guthrie’s front door on the night she disappeared. She was last seen on the evening of January 31, when she was dropped off at her home. She was reported missing around noon the next day.
Savannah Guthrie took to Instagram to share a video with her mom and adding, “our lovely mom. we will never give up on her. thank you for your prayers and hope.”
