The masked man who is suspected in Nancy Guthrie’s abduction may have approached her Tucson property before the morning she was snatched from her home, according to reports.
Sources close to the investigation toldABC NewsandNewsNationthat they believe the masked intruder, featured in home surveillance video released by the FBI, went to Guthrie’s home sometime before she was taken on Feb. 1.
The sources pointed to a piece of the home security footage, which shows the suspect at Guthrie’s front door — without a backpack in a still image released by the FBI.
That photo was reportedly captured on a different day from when the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie was abducted.
The FBI had also released images of the suspect with the backpack from “the morning of [Guthrie’s] disappearance.”
One theory, the sources told ABC News, was that the suspect approached the door for the first time, but was scared off by the camera, only to return later, where he is seen tampering with the device and obscuring the lens with branches.
But others have alsospeculated that the manwithout the backpack is separate from the suspect who blocked the camera.
So far, officials haven’t identified a suspect linked to Guthrie’s disappearance.
The Post reached out to the FBI for more information. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department declined to comment.
The search for Guthrie entered its third week on Sunday.
