Protesting his innocence and lack of knowledge about the case, he shared how he had asked investigators: “What the f**k am I doing here? I didn’t do anything, to be honest, I’m innocent.”

Prior to Palazuelos being released from police custody, DoorDash (the company he works for as a delivery driver) put out a statement reading: “We are urgently investigating reports that an individual detained in relation to the Nancy Guthrie case was a delivery driver.

“We 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.”

Palazuelos reportedly told officers that he might have dropped off a parcel at Nancy Guthrie’s home on February 1, the same day she is believed to have gone missing.

Palazuelos added: “I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it. And they better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name, I’m done.”

Two ransom deadlines demanding $6 million in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return have already passed (the note reportedly did not include a direct threat about what would happen if payment wasn’t made) while the FBI today released images of an individual appearing to be tampering with the video doorbell camera at Nancy’s house while dressed in a balaclava, gloves, a zipped jacket, and a backpack.

“Working with our partners – 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’s front door the morning of her disappearance,” FBI director Kash Patel said.
