Yeah, up until yesterday, officials hadn't been able to recover video footage from a doorbell camera at Nancy's house. But working with different agencies in the private sector, they scored a break. The FBI released several stills and two short videos that show someone wearing a mask that covers everything but their eyes and mouth. The person has gloves on and a backpack, and they appear to be armed with a gun. In the videos, you can see the person come into frame at Nancy Guthrie's front door with their head down, And they try to cover the camera lens with their hands sort of balled into a fist. Then the subject steps off the porch and grabs a handful of this sort of leafy material that they then try to put over the camera lens.

Has law enforcement said or have they indicated whether they have a sense of who that is in that footage? They still haven't named any suspects, and there still hasn't been any proof provided that Nancy Guthrie is still alive. But the FBI is still soliciting tips for any information to help find her or whoever might have taken her. Last week, the agency announced a $50,000 reward for any information that led to Guthrie's recovery and or the arrest and conviction of anyone who took her. And what is Guthrie's family saying? They're continuing their calls for help from the public. The FBI has yet to say whether it's verified the authenticity of any supposed ransom notes, but it did say it's taking seriously some ransom messages that were sent to several media outlets.
