“Without polluting the investigation, I will say we have made substantial progress in these last 36-48 hours, thanks to the technical capabilities of the FBI and our partnerships and I do believe we are looking at people who, as we say, are persons of interest,” Patel said.
The development follows the release of video and several images of an armed, masked kidnapper at the doorstep of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.
“Not only were we able to get this type of information [Ring doorbell footage], but we were able to exploit information pursuant to our private sector partner engagement that showed us that there might be persons of interest in and around the area related to this event,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
