Photo suggests a brazen, meticulous, pre-planned, and perhaps even professional act to me!

With that outfit and those tools, there's no sexual assault or robbery motive here!

JMO.

It is def NOT a woman. IMO @tricia what do you think?

So they're just looking for an ID then, if that's true that's pretty disappointing. That they don't even have a name or know who this person could be/relation to NG...
I think the big thing that is disappointing imo is how they missed these cameras/the initial searches by local LE and FBI when they initially came in missed so much. I am of course presuming that this camera is from when the FBI went back a 2nd time?

Good reminder - there used to be public service info to plan ahead in case there is a fire at your house (like, think about all your home exit routes). I also read about an earthquake survivor who said - of all things - having shoes near the bed would have been good - he said there was broken glass from things falling and it was dark. I appreciate your idea.
Those are great points as well, for other emergencies. The older I get, the more I prefer to be prepared for anything, to the extent we can be.

EDIT: Another tip that makes me feel safe and family members have taken up as well, is a door jam alarm. Cheap on Amazon. Stick it under your bedroom door, or front door, or bring to a hotel while traveling. No one can tell if it's on the other side and it gives you (and them) warning.

So I guess this clears TC.

JMO but I doubt LE would release a photo of the suspect to the public before making an arrest if they had already identified him. This rules the SIL out for me at this point.

ETA: It also rules out anyone within NG's close circle IMO. I'm now leaning towards the perpetrator being either a total stranger or someone with a very peripheral, second- or third-degree connection to NG.
But what if the person in the mask was hired by a family member?

Wow. Those are scary. Props to the team that recovered the images.

Dressed up like that and holding flowers sure is a contradictory image... I wonder if the flowers are meant to be an offer to someone (like SG)? JMO.

are those the flowers?

Seeing an actual person makes me feel angry all over again, that someone would prey on anyone, but an elderly person🤬someone has to recognize him unless he came in from a different country or something the words I want to say… jmo

I wonder if NG interrupted a potential burglary when she returned home, rather than it being a planned attack on her specifically.
Comes in on robber. Oh crap she knows me, im her maids son she's met before. Binds her up while he thinks what to do. After 3-4 hours comes up with ransom plan. Takes her with him?? Far fetched. Yeah. Its all i got today. Lol.

I’m assuming that is ET because it’s currently 10:49 here in MT. Should be any time. JMO
If investigators say 12:15, I would think the pic image reveal would be local time in AZ, to appeal to locals to help identify. It’s almost 11 there RN.

New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie: Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems. Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov

It's a younger (under 40) white guy. That is a broad category. Looks like he's holding the Lantana flowers from the porch in one photo.

Looks like a woman to me. Feminine eyebrows.

JMO

Definitely thin (not bushy!)

Also the head looks puffy, possibly longer hair under the mask?
