An Arizona man told reporters on Wednesday that he had been questioned by police in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case as he maintained his innocence.

Late on Tuesday, a U.S. law enforcement official briefed on the case said a suspect in the abduction of U.S. television host Savannah Guthrie’s elderly mother was taken into custody in Arizona on Tuesday, nine days after the 84-year-old woman was reported missing.

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, the man spoke to reporters while standing outside his house. He stated, "I didn’t do anything. I mean, I hope they get the suspect. Because I’m not it. They better do their job and find the suspect who did it so they can clear my name. I’m done." He told reporters, adding, "they didn’t ask me no questions," and that he didn’t know the Guthries before being detained.

The questioning of the man came as authorities on Tuesday released video of an armed man in a ski mask tampering with the doorbell camera at the Arizona home of U.S. television journalist Savannah Guthrie’s elderly mother shortly before she was abducted nine days earlier in a presumed kidnapping for ransom.
