  "account": "An alleged dispatch call surfaced recently claiming that a person found a ski mask similar to the one worn by the 'Porch Guy' suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case. The incident reportedly occurred on February 11, 2026, near the Catalina Foothills home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie. However, the Pima County Sheriff's Department has reportedly disputed the legitimacy of this alleged audio, stating that they have not been advised of anything similar. The FBI has previously described the 'Porch Guy' suspect as a male, approximately 5'9\" - 5'10\" tall, with an average build, who was seen wearing a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack, which is exclusively sold in Walmart stores. Despite the recent allegations, no new discoveries have been made that can be linked to the 'Porch Guy' suspect in the ongoing investigation.",
