The video showed a man wearing Ski mark, gloves and carrying a backpack and a gun in a holster. He approaches Nancy Guthrie’s front door in the early hours of February 1, about the time she was abducted.

The video showed the masked figure trying to cover the camera with foliage that he picked up from nearby, then appears to damage the camera. All this while, he keeps his head down, suggesting that he was aware of the camera’s location, the law enforcement sources said.
