Avideonearly half a minute long shows the suspect walking up to the door and putting a gloved hand over the camera before retreating. A shorter video features the figure staring at the device while biting down on a flashlight, then obscuring the sensor with some shrubbery. Sources told CBS News that the individual appears to be holding 'prairie brush' against the lens.

This development is the first major breakthrough in the growing effort to find Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of the 'Today' anchor. Detectives are still working to confirm the identity of the figure in the video and urge anyone with information to step forward.
