The latest: CNN , NBC , ABC and others reported that a man was detained for questioning in relation to the case on Tuesday night. - The FBI directed Axios' request for information to the sheriff's department, which did not immediately respond. The intrigue: The detainment came hours after law enforcement shared photos of a masked individual outside of Guthrie's front door the morning she disappeared. - FBI director Kash Patel said on X that the images were recovered from "residual data in backend systems" that "may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors — including the removal of recording devices." Catch up quick: Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 when a family member dropped her off at her Catalina Foothills home, according to law enforcement. She was reported missing the following day. - Multiple ransom letters were sent to TV stations last week and Savannah Guthrie and her siblings on Feb. 7 posted a video saying, "We received your message and we understand ... this is very valuable to us, and we will pay." - Law enforcement has not confirmed the legitimacy of the demand letters, which had a final compliance deadline of Feb. 9 at 5pm. - Shortly before that deadline, Savannah Guthrie posted another video asking the public to continue submitting tips .
