A recent development in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's suspected abduction has revealed that one of the images from her Nest doorbell camera, which was released by the FBI, was taken on a different date than the others. According to a source familiar with the investigation, the discrepancy indicates that the masked suspect may have scouted Guthrie's home prior to the incident that was reported to have occurred on February 1. This new insight raises questions about the timeline of events leading to her disappearance and highlights the potential premeditated nature of the crime.

Authorities have been actively investigating the case and have requested that neighbors review their home security footage for the entire month of January, particularly on the night of January 11 and during the hours surrounding Guthrie’s disappearance. The coordinated effort to gather evidence underscores the seriousness of the investigation into Guthrie's case and the desire to piece together the series of events that led to her being reported missing. The released images, including this new detail of the scouting visit, are critical in building a timeline and understanding the actions of the suspect.

Furthermore, there are indications that the data accessed by the FBI and Google to retrieve missing video footage from Guthrie’s doorbell camera included not just the last recorded event but other significant data as well. The doorbell camera had disconnected at 1:47 AM on the night of her disappearance, which suggests a possible cutoff that coincides with the timeline of the abduction. This detail emphasizes the ongoing investigative efforts and the use of technology in uncovering the circumstances surrounding Guthrie's case, making it imperative for the public and authorities to remain vigilant in the search for answers.
