UPDATE: As Amy noted Wednesday morning, that person has been released.
Nancy Guthrie, mother of The Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1 after being taken against her will. Ransom notes have been sent to the family, and NBC host Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have pleaded for her safe return. They have also stated they are willing to pay any ransom to secure her return.
Overall, the investigation has been largely frustrating, with minimal progress. Until today, there have been no suspects or notable updates. President Trump has assigned FBI Director Kash Patel to assist. Today, images emerged of the masked attacker tampering with the security camera at Nancy Gurhtie’s residence. Tonight, a person of interest is in custody, though it's unclear if this individual is the one seen on the Nest camera (via ABC News).

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the FBI, has detained an individual for questioning in connection with the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News.
The individual was detained in a location south of Tucson, the source said, and law enforcement is preparing to search a location associated with the individual.
The development followed the first images released of a masked man approaching Nancy Guthrie’s front door and as investigators continued to search in her neighborhood.
However, there's no indication that the person who was detained is the figure seen in the newly released video footage.
