TUCSON, Ariz.—The abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of TODAY Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has pushed home security squarely into the national spotlight, raising difficult questions about how long smart home cameras retain data.   Early on, authorities believed Guthrie’s disconnected, non-subscription Google Nest camera held no recoverable footage. Days later, the FBI released images and video of an armed, masked individual...

A wake-up call for home security

February 18, 2026Cory Harris, Editor

The suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie has turned into more than a heartbreaking national story. It has become a blunt warning for the home security industry.

Days later, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released clear footage of a masked individual at her front door. The surprising recovery came only after a multi‑day forensic effort...

File not found

Goodbye, Mr. Sunshine

January 31, 2024Ken Showers, Managing Editor

After a week of being under the weather I could use a little sun to brighten my outlook. Unfortunately, following some news last week, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. I’ll get to that point in a moment, since it’s a little detour from normal security news. The actual news I wanted to discuss this week is the often discussed but still unreleased ADT smart home security system made in collaboration with Google. It so happened that my boss asked me earlier this week what was...
