Suspect's distinctive backpack, gloves and holster traced to Tucson Walmart

Outfit clues that can unmask Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper

The Daily Mail spoke with retired FBI agents to break down how clothing and gear - even generic, big-box items - could leave a trail of breadcrumbs leading straight to an arrest.

Link?

Not OP but went to look. It's a DM+ article. Those are usually picked up the same day by other's in MSM. MOO

Lets hope there is a purchase with a traceable card and not cash.

I understand blurring the face in case this isn't the same guy, but it seems like a half measure to release this video then.

I'm skeptical it's the same person.

He has two backpacks, and it looks like he was working on dumping something over the fence out of one of them.

Wonder exactly what time this video was captured and how close this was to NG's house.

Could be a drug drop by a courier, or depending on time frame, could be connected to NG's disappearance.

His hards were bare, for what it's worth, so if he touched that corrugated metal or whatever it was, LE could possibly get prints off it.

JMO.

I think they are being given this info to post imo..probably by a source in LE

Hopefully it is that strategic and not just for clicks. I don't view them as having high integrity when it comes to this stuff.

The security cameras at Walmart will have a good picture of whoever bought the items, so even a cash purchase will yield major evidence. If he used self checkout, even better. Those cameras are practically up your nostrils when they're recording.

There's a paywall first of all.

What is the source cited in the article? Did the Daily Mail go to Wal Mart and look around?

This is the most bizarre case…

I think they were just using equipment to estimate Lantana man's height

The tent is hopefully to be able to place evidence markers, block the bright sunlight from making shadows for the photos of the markers of new evidence gleaned from the video which maybe contained more of the attacker’s activities than what we have seen; like how NG’s blood got on the front entry area.

all imo

This is true. Since we don't know if he even disconnected the camera at that point. For all we know he may have just been messing with it at that point and it was at a later time when he disconnected the camera at 1:47 a.m.

There is a reason Nancy's blood was passively dropping there as if she was just standing there bleeding. Some of the broken lantana pieces were on top of some of the blood spots too.

I don't think it's ageist to say someone wakes up groggy if you consider she takes some kind of medication.
I take medication because of a blocked nerve in my neck and that makes me wake up like i'm very drunk. I'm a 42 yo.
Doesn't mean i agree with the rest of these suggestions in the post you are referring too tho.
I just wanted to clarify if waking up groggy, it has nothing to do with age but more likely with medication.
Just my experience

This is true...

 

[Mermaid76]

I hope they confirmed that pizza delivery and I'm still very suspicious of TC because this whole thing looks so ridiculous. mOO

Can you imagine if they didn’t? I’m pretty sure it was an actual delivery, but, how was anyone able to get that close to the house?

Lets hope there is a purchase with a traceable card and not cash.

Even with cash they should be able to see a visual of who is making the purchase...and then go from there ..did they buy this item (s) to use give to someone else etc.

What a strange video and what the heck is he doing with the hand held backpack. Could this be a second perp?? Odd that the timing as you say is around the same time and someone is walking around with 2 backpacks. jMHO

This isn't even at NG's house or neighborhood. It's 5 miles south of NG's.

 

[maskedwoman]

Does both of these pictures look like the same person to you all? Apparenlty, Meghan Kelly was saying this onelooks like the person is wearing a different jacket, and that it's camo. It's too blurry for me to be sure of that. What do you all think?

Images show masked person on Nancy Guthrie's porch the night she went missing

Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie released the first surveillance images Tuesday, showing a masked person on her porch the night she went missing.

I feel like anything they have on that porch cannot be used at this point for how open they’ve left it so hopefully it leads them to something useable

 

[Deleted member 117884]

this is big news...r u kidding? HUGE. mOO

I said it wasn't a big SURPRISE.

People have been speculating the items were Walmart, and it's been speculated for days on end he is local.

It's big news, but not a big surprise, as I posted.

I don't think they have integrity but someone is giving them the video to post I think and if they found it on their own what would that say?

I believe it is the same person. Perhaps he went up to the door before gathering his equipment.

 

[fezjones]

What are chances this is an example of intruder attacking the wrong house. Like a case of mistaken identity. Seems like a lot of murders happen when the burglar encounters a person they didn't expect to be there.

This may have been shared already, tent going up outside her front door/porch area.
