As the case of Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie, continues, authorities revealed why security camera footage hasn't recovered from her home.
“At 2:12 a.m. [local time], software detects a person on a camera, but there’s no video available; they had no subscription and therefore it would rewrite itself,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed during a press conference on Thursday, February 5.
Nancy Guthrie's Camera Footage Cannot Be Recovered

Nancy Guthries was reported missing on February 1.
The sheriff revealed that Nancy's doorbell camera was disconnected at around 1:47 a.m. on February 1, hours after she was last seen by a family member.
Nancy did not subscribe to the camera's subscription service, so footage from that evening cannot be recovered, according to authorities.
“It just kind of loops and covers up. That’s what our analysis teams have told us,” Chris added. “Could [the movement] be an animal? I imagine that’s possible. We don’t know that. We just have no video.”
