Ring Camera Footage Emerges as Man Arrested Outside Nancy Guthrie’s Home Is Identified

Neighbors have released Ring camera footage that captured a car speeding down a road minutes after Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home, and authorities have separately arrested a man who repeatedly drove past her property. The twin developments supply investigators with fresh material while officials reaffirm that the DUI arrest is not connected to the abduction.

Ring Camera Footage from Catalina Foothills Captures Overnight Traffic

A street-facing Ring camera owned by a resident roughly 2. 5 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s house recorded multiple vehicles in the early hours of Feb. 1, including a clip of a car speeding at about 2: 36 a. m. The recordings show roughly a dozen cars passing along the back road between midnight and 6 a. m., with some activity clustered around 2: 30 a. m., the approximate time Guthrie’s pacemaker last synced with her phone.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has acknowledged awareness of the footage but has not confirmed whether it is directly relevant to the investigation. The Stratigouleas family who released the clips said deputies had not canvassed their neighborhood in the weeks after the disappearance; the house with the Ring camera sits on a road that skirts major intersections and offers a quicker exit from the area, about a seven-minute drive to Guthrie’s neighborhood.

What makes this notable is the footage lies outside the initial geographic and temporal requests investigators issued for Ring footage—those requests targeted homes within roughly a two-mile radius and focused on specific time windows earlier identified in the probe—so the new material could expand investigators’ view of movements in the hours surrounding the abduction.

Arrest of Antonio De Jesus Pena-Campos Outside Guthrie Home

Shortly before 8: 00 p. m. on Feb. 26, deputies arrested 34-year-old Antonio De Jesus Pena-Campos in front of Nancy Guthrie’s residence on misdemeanor DUI charges. Video and eyewitness accounts captured the driver making repeated passes—estimated at 50 to 100 times—slowly driving by the property and stopping near the memorial outside the home while looking at a photo on his phone.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated the arrest was not related to Guthrie’s disappearance and that Pena-Campos has no connection to the ongoing investigation. The department said it is refocusing investigative resources to detectives assigned specifically to the case while maintaining a patrol presence in the neighborhood as leads are developed and resolved.

Family investigators and federal agents continue to appeal for tips: the Guthrie family has offered up to a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery and is donating $500, 000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, while the FBI’s reward of $100, 000 also remains active. Members of the public can contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900 with any information.

Investigative Follow-Up and Search Implications

Investigators have circulated surveillance stills and video showing an armed, masked intruder at Guthrie’s front door and have noted the Nest doorbell camera was disconnected at 1: 47 a. m., with a person detected at 2: 12 a. m. and the pacemaker connection dropping roughly between 2: 28 and 2: 30 a. m. The neighborhood Ring footage—captured minutes after those events—provides additional time-stamped movement that investigators can review and, where feasible, enhance.

Retired search and rescue and SWAT officials have urged careful follow-up on the Ring material while cautioning it may ultimately be unrelated; slowing and enhancing surveillance can yield clearer images but requires time-intensive review. The sheriff has emphasized the investigation remains active and will continue until Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted.

The Ring videos and the arrest outside the home have intensified public attention on the case and prompted renewed calls from family members for anyone with information, including anonymous tips, to come forward so efforts to find Nancy Guthrie can progress.
