Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect reportedly caught on doorbell camera before her abduction: breaking details

The masked figure suspected of kidnapping Nancy Guthrie may have been at her front door earlier than Feb. 1 — the night she is believed to have been abducted — according to breaking details from a new report.

As first reported by ABC News, a source told the outlet that one of the images released by the FBI showing the suspect at Nancy’s door may have been captured by her Nest doorbell camera on a day that fell before the suspected abduction.

The image showed the suspect not wearing a backpack, whereas other images showed him with the backpack.

According to the FBI, the images showed the suspect wearing a backpack were from Feb. 1, the day that Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing after failing to show up to watch a virtual church service.

Former FBI agent Jason Pack said to ABC News that if the images are of the same person, “it could indicate that the person was there surveilling the place before the abduction happened.”

“The fact that there was preparation and planning, which makes it more of a sophisticated type of criminal activity than someone just showing up,” he told the outlet.

As of now, officials haven’t identified a suspect linked to Guthrie’s disappearance. Per a statement from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department obtained by Page Six: “We are aware that doorbell images released earlier in the investigation depict a suspect in different stages of attire, including with and without a backpack. There is no date or time stamp ᴀssociated with these images. Therefore, any suggestion that the pH๏τographs were taken on different days is purely speculative.”

“This remains an active and ongoing criminal investigation,” the statement continued. “As with any investigation, conclusions will be guided by verifiable evidence and established facts. Speculation, without factual support, does not advance the investigative process.”

Theories are also circulating that the suspect caught on camera may not have been working alone and another person may be part of the abduction.

While Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said earlier in the month that he believed the man in the video is the “primary suspect” and “likely perpetrator” in the kidnapping, federal authorities have kept open the possibility that more than one person was involved.

FBI Director Kash Patel previously said the agency was investigating more than one “person of interest” in the case.

The search for Guthrie entered its third week on Sunday.

While the investigation appears to be scaling back, with no real breakthroughs since early February, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has told The Post that between 300 and 400 personnel remain ᴀssigned to the case and that staffing levels are the same as when the investigation began.
