As the search for Nancy Guthrie enters a critical phase, investigators have uncovered chilling evidence that the masked individual caught on camera was watching the house days before the abduction.

The Evidence of Intent
In many missing persons cases, the first few minutes are chaotic. However, the discovery that the suspect visited the property on at least two separate occasions—in the same masked disguise—points to a predator who was waiting for the perfect window of opportunity.

The two photos, taken at different timestamps, show the suspect lingering near the entrance. Investigators are now looking for:

Vehicle Patterns: Checking neighborhood surveillance for any car that appeared on both those specific days.
Physical Markers: Despite the mask, forensic experts are analyzing height, gait (dáng đi), and clothing details to see if they match anyone in Guthrie’s social or professional circle.
A Community on Edge
The fact that a suspect could “scout” a home undetected has sent a wave of anxiety through the local community. It serves as a grim reminder that home security systems are excellent for recording evidence, but they don’t always deter a determined intruder.

“This wasn’t a crime of passion or a spur-of-the-moment act,” says a source close to the investigation. “This was a hunt.”
