New doorbell-cameravideo released on Fridayis being reviewed by investigators searching forNancy Guthrie, who has been missing since February 1. The footage, originally shared on January 23 through the Neighbors app by Ring, shows a man with dark hair and a goatee approaching a home about 6.5 miles from the residence of the mother of Savannah Guthrie.
The man appears to purposely back up toward the door, trying not to reveal his face. Despite this, the doorbell camera captured a clear view as he rang the bell at around 5 am. According to the homeowner who posted the clip, the man ran off after the family dogs began barking.
A law enforcement source told TMZ that both the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department are aware of the video and are treating it as a possible lead in the ongoing search.
Officials say the man’s facial hair looks similar to what was seen under the knitted ski mask worn by the unknown suspect captured on Nancy Guthrie’s own doorbell camera the morning she disappeared.
Authorities have asked residents within a two-mile radius ofNancy Guthrie’s home to review any security footage recorded throughout January. Investigators say hundreds of videos and tips have poured in as the community responds to the call.
The FBI on Thursday increased the reward to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie’s location or for details that could identify or help arrest the person responsible for her disappearance. Officials hope that new video details, along with the larger reward, will motivate more people to come forward.
The FBI’s Operational Technology Division analyzed the original doorbell footage from the day Guthrie vanished. They confirmed that the suspect is a man around 5'9" to 5'10", with an average build, carrying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.
Since February 1, the FBI has received more than 13,000 tips, each reviewed for credibility and urgency. Agents are working in shifts at a 24-hour command center to make sure no potential lead is missed.
Earlier this week, another doorbell video was released publicly. Former FBI profiler Jim Clemente said one frame may show a tattoo on the suspect’s right wrist, something that could help rule potential persons of interest in or out. Clemente added that the suspect appeared right-handed and likely not a trained professional, saying the person “revealed a tremendous amount” on camera.
The footage also showed the suspect holding a weapon and possibly tampering with Guthrie’s doorbell camera.
