Another video shows the person purposefully tilting their head down while nearing the front archway. Patel said the videos were pulled from residual data located in backend systems after investigators spent days trying to find lost, corrupted or inaccessible images, Patel said.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie released the first surveillance images Tuesday showing a masked person with what looked like a handgun holster on her porch the night she went missing more than a week ago.
Video released by the FBI shows the person wearing a backpack and a ski mask with holes for the eyes and mouth walking up to the door at the home of the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. The footage shows the person trying to cover a doorbell camera near the front door with a gloved hand and part of a plant they rip from her yard.
The images show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthries front door the morning of her disappearance, FBI Director Kash Patel said on X. In the videos, the person appeared to be wearing the holster attached to their front waist area.

(7,068 posts).... He didn't know about or have a plan for the video doorbell. He picks up some weeds and tries to disable it with them????
According to LEO, the Holter for his gun is way too big for the gun and is improperly mounted at his belt buckle, not his hip. Indicating that he doesn't know anything about guns.
Hopefully he is just as savvy about bit coin and if he tries to move the ransom around will be identified and caught.

(60,834 posts)on the shape of the face we, the eyes, eye brows that some tool could use to create a set of images consistent with what is known.
That and the height and shoe size that they said could be estimated pretty accurately from the images could give them somewhat of a picture of the person.
Add in that he was known to be in Tucson at that time also focuses in on who did this.
