FBI ‘has names and photos of people who may be masked suspect caught on surveillance video outside Nancy Guthrie’s home’
The FBI reportedly has names and photos of people who match the description of the masked suspect caught on surveillance footage outside of Nancy Guthrie’s home the night she disappeared.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the night of January 31. Authorities believe she was kidnapped in the early hours of February 1.
Nancy seemingly disappeared without a trace. Law enforcement’s first leads were blood on her front door and a disconnected front door camera.
A break in the case came on February 10 when the FBI uncovered previously lost surveillance footage from the night she disappeared, revealing a masked individual approaching her home.
The FBI now reportedly has names and photos of people who match the mysterious masked man, CBS News reported.
The eerie footage shows what authorities believe is a man disabling Nancy’s camera. The suspect was also carrying what appears to be a gun in a holster.
Local business and gun shop owners told CBS that authorities have asked them if they recognize any names and faces that could potentially be the suspect.
One gun shop owner told the outlet that he received a packet from law enforcement with photos of driver’s licenses and pictures from social media.

The gun shop owner told authorities that he didn’t recognize any of the names or faces. He searched the company’s purchase history for names, but no leads came of it.
Philip Martin, the co-owner of Armor Bearer Arms, told local CBS affiliate, KOLD, that an FBI agent visited his shop sometime between February 10 and 12.
Martin said he received a packet of between 18 and 24 images and names to check if any had purchased a gun at his store in the last year.
He searched the company database but didn’t find any matches. The FBI agent didn’t disclose what the names were regarding, but Martin told KOLD he believed they matched the suspect’s description.
‘Based on that video I saw of the kidnapper at the house who was caught on camera — the facial hair that I saw on the video reminds me a lot of these photographs,’ Martin told KOLD.
