In just the past 24 hours, major developments have unfolded in the high-profile disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.One person was taken in for questioning but later released — and most notably, the surveillance footage from Guthrie’s home has sparked intense public reaction.Now, a former FBI agent suggests that the suspected kidnapper may have made a major blunder.
Raised red flagsThe desperate search for “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother has entered its eleventh day, and newly released FBI images and video offer the first chilling glimpse of the suspect.
The footage, released by FBI and pulled from a Nest security camera outside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home, shows a masked figure in light-colored clothing approaching the house at night.In one frame, the person appears to be carrying a firearm in a way that immediately raised red flags for former FBI agent Mark Harrigan.“That is a very non-conventional way to carry a firearm. Very non-conventional,” Harrigan told The New York Post, pointing to what appears to be the weapon positioned at the front of the suspect’s body.“He has it in the open, which is unusual, because normally you would want it concealed when you’re going to do a crime, so you’re not calling attention to yourself with an exposed firearm,” he said.
