A delivery driver who was detained and questioned in connection with the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has been released without charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Palazuelos, 36, was reportedly taken into custody by law enforcement on February 10 while driving in Arizona. His detention came as the search for Nancy \u2014 the mother of Savannah Guthrie of NBC\u2019s Today \u2014 entered its 11th day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have not publicly named any official suspects in the case, and Palazuelos was later released without being charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to reporters outside his home after his release, Palazuelos claimed he was held for several hours and expressed frustration over the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey held me against my will. They didn\u2019t even read me my rights until two hours later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining his innocence, he added: \u201cWhat the f**k am I doing here? I didn\u2019t do anything, to be honest, I\u2019m innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palazuelos stated that he had never heard of Nancy Guthrie or her daughter Savannah and does not follow the news. He reportedly told investigators that he may have delivered a package to Nancy\u2019s home on February 1 \u2014 the same day she is believed to have gone missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope they get the suspect, because I\u2019m not it,\u201d Palazuelos told reporters. \u201cAnd they better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name. I\u2019m done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DoorDash, the company Palazuelos works for as a delivery driver, released a statement during the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are urgently investigating reports that an individual detained in relation to the Nancy Guthrie case was a delivery driver,\u201d the company said. \u201cWe have reached out to law enforcement and are ready to support their critical investigation in any way we can. Like tens of millions around the world, our hearts are with the Guthrie family during this heart-wrenching time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the broader investigation continues. Two ransom deadlines demanding $6 million in bitcoin for Nancy\u2019s return have already passed. According to reports, the ransom note did not include explicit threats about what would occur if payment was not made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FBI recently released surveillance images recovered from Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home security system. The footage appears to show a masked individual tampering with a video doorbell camera while wearing a balaclava, gloves, a zipped jacket, and a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBI Director Kash Patel stated that the images were recovered through technical efforts after initial data appeared inaccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking with our partners \u2013 as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie\u2019s front door the morning of her disappearance,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n\n\n
