Authorities investigating the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie released recovered doorbell camera footage showing a masked, armed individual approaching her Tucson home shortly before she vanished. Although the camera device had been removed, investigators were able to retrieve the images through backend data. Body language experts analyzing the footage noted that even with a covered face, factors such as height, posture, movement, and overall build could help identify the suspect. The individual appeared calm and familiar with the surroundings, leading some experts to believe the incident may have been carefully planned rather than a random burglary.
The investigation has since expanded, including a traffic stop and questioning of a man later released without charges. Authorities also followed tips leading to searches in nearby areas, though Nancy’s whereabouts remain unknown. Investigators believe ransom messages connected to the case suggest the suspect may have ties to the Tucson area. As the search enters its next phase, officials continue reviewing evidence and pursuing new leads, while Nancy’s family and community hope for her safe return.
