FBI Director Patel explained via X that law enforcement “uncovered these previously inaccessible new images” Tuesday morning, noting that “the video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.”
Hours after the footage was released, police detained an individual in the case for questioning, who was later released.
The man, who has identified himself as a DoorDash deliver driver named Carlos Palazuelos, was pulled over Tuesday and taken into custody while driving with his wife.
Authorities also searched Palazuelos’ house while he was in custody.

“They held me against my will,” the 36-year-old told reporters outside of his home in Rio Rico, a tiny border community roughly 60 miles south of Tucson.
“What the f – – k am I doing here? I didn’t do anything, to be honest, I’m innocent,” Palazuelos added.
Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31 around 9:30 p.m. after being dropped off at home by son-in-law Tommaso Cioni following a family dinner.
She was reported missing the next day (Feb. 1) after she didn’t attend a virtual church service.

Investigators believe she was kidnapped in her sleep and “harmed,” as a trail of blood, which authorities confirmed was hers, was found outside her front door.
Feldman told Page Six after his mother-in-law went missing that he’s “just being responsive” but feels “mostly unhelpful” in the gut-wrenching situation.
A ransom note was sent to news organizations demanding the Guthrie family pay $6 million in Bitcoin by the ᴅᴇᴀᴅline of Monday, Feb. 9 at 5 p.m. MT.
About $152 worth of Bitcoin showed up in the account on Tuesday, Page Six confirmed.

Savannah has stepped away from “Today” and dropped out of hosting the Winter Olympics 2026 since her mom’s disappearance.
She’s filmed multiple emotional videos with her siblings, Camron Guthrie and Annie Guthrie, where they’ve appealed to Nancy’s alleged abductor and even agreed to pay the ransom.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” Savannah said in a Feb. 7 upload. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
