Ring founder and CEO Jamie Siminoff believes police would have \u201csolved\u201d the Nancy Guthrie case if people had more cameras on their doors\u2014including Guthrie\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do believe if they had more of it, if there was more cameras on the house, I think we might, you know, have solved\u201d the case, Siminoff told Fortune <\/em>in an interview.<\/p>\n \u201cThe video that they have,\u201d he added, \u201cappears to be the best evidence they have of what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Siminoff\u2019s comments come as footage from Guthrie\u2019s Google<\/a> Nest camera have blown up on the internet, showing the final few moments that occurred before the mother of theToday Show<\/em> host Savannah Guthrie was kidnapped from her Tucson home over a month ago.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Nancy Guthrie thing has shown just how important video and more video would be in a case like this,\u201d Siminoff said. \u201cI think it\u2019s been clear, but I think this is just another example of, like, how important it is to have video at your house.\u201d<\/p>\n Guthrie last seen on Jan. 31, when son-in-law Tommaso Cioni dropped off the 84-year-old at her Catalina Foothills home. What started as a missing persons case quickly escalated when police found bloodstains at the residence. Forensic testing later confirmed the blood belonged to Guthrie.\u00a0<\/p>\n In what has since dominated national news as her journalist daughter and her family pleaded with the alleged abductors to return their mother, Nest footage featuring a masked person attempting to shield their face from the doorbell camera has surfaced on the internet, prompting many, including Siminoff, to note how pragmatic it was to have video surveillance at all.<\/p>\n \u201cI think definitely the importance of video has been clear,\u201d Siminoff said. \u201cBut I think this is just another example of how important it is to have video at your house, to be able to have systems like Ring. I think it did show the importance of that.\u201d<\/p>\n On Feb. 10, the FBI released images and video taken from the Nest<\/a> camera of a masked, armed individual on the property at the time of the disappearance. This individual was seen attempting to tamper with the camera by tapping it and eventually covering the lens with foliage. Despite these attempts at concealment, Google, which owns Nest, was able to successfully recover<\/a> the footage from the device\u2019s back-end systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n Samantha Guthrie and her siblings then made a public appeal, offering a $1 million reward<\/a> for any information on their mother\u2019s disappearance. In one video, Savannah directly addressed the potential kidnappers, stating: \u201cWe want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen<\/a>. Please reach out to us.\u201d<\/p>\n The investigation is further complicated by a series of ransom demands delivered via cryptocurrency<\/a>. While some notes were deemed hoaxes\u2014including one that led to the arrest of an \u201cimpostor\u201d in California<\/a>\u2014other communications have been treated with significant gravity. Reports indicate one demand reached $6 million in Bitcoin<\/a>, prompting a GoFundMe to raise<\/a> the funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n As the case enters its second month, Siminoff emphasized the company\u2019s active cooperation with local authorities, adding that a video was recently found of a suspicious car two and a half miles away, which was reported through Amazon\u2019s Ring network.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been very involved from neighbor alerts, community alerts that go through our network,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ring founder and CEO Jamie Siminoff believes police would have \u201csolved\u201d the Nancy Guthrie case if people had more cameras on their doors\u2014including Guthrie\u2019s. \u201cI do believe if they had more of it, if there was more cameras on the house, I think we might, you know, have solved\u201d the case, Siminoff told Fortune in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[411,62],"tags":[408,191,409,410],"class_list":["post-1533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-law","category-news","tag-camera","tag-google","tag-police","tag-surveillance"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owspakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The case goes digital<\/h2>\n
