those seem to be reflective strips that most backpacks have shining in the camera's IR. reflective items glow in IR illumination (in the military we use IR patches)

this also seems thrown together and amateurish to me. All black is a cliche for a reason. High speed, low drag.

In one of the videos they turn off though. Or appear to turn off. Could be something else l...

What is infront her/his zipper on the pants ? Looks like she/he is securing it with the left hand.

This is a man IMO. I have DD breasts so YMMV but the perp would quite literally have to wrap their own as a woman unless they were basically flat chested. Also, their body type suggests a male…perhaps early 30’s? Not a “stocky” build but not quite lean/slim.

The backpack also appears to be quite full, maybe even heavy. What would be in it?? Rope? Tape? Additional clothing?

Whatever is in there, they seem to move around quite easily.

It also appears the perp may be bald or have veryyyy very short hair, the mask seems quite snug, no?

Anyone know when's son in law's band's IG account went private?

And infrared tends to flip tints. Dark colors can appear light and light can appear dark. You see that in cop cars when people are arrested and put in the back of a police car. Brunettes appear blonde and vice versa.

The authorities should post that to help with tips! I don't think a lot of people know that.

Do you think law enforcement has been sitting on this footage or has the camera company only just recently shared the video?

Trailing lantana doesnt symbolize anything except: It's easy to grow where it's 100 degrees and it also blooms. That's why I have it. It's probably ubiquitous in Tucson. It's ubiquitous here in South Texas.

It's more or less a utilitarian plant. (As are many that grow in the desert)

Forgive me my ignorance. It is something my great-aunts used to say when I was younger, but since they were indeed early 19th-century people, their "knowledge" cannot compete with the currently accepted trove of facts.

I will refrain from commenting on such points as I am, obviously, operating on a different wavelength from the one here. My whimsical take was absurd and I wish I could retract it.

These images are really the only tangible clue that have been released to the public as of now.

This puts average people on alert to attempt to identify this suspect.

The Guthrie family does not recognize him, but somebody may.

Yes, the suspect went to great lengths to obscure his identity, and I hope further images will be forthcoming, but I admire how this evidence was recovered by some expert somewhere, (probably FBI techs).

I know SG is saying she believes her mom is still alive, and I hope that is true based on info she’s received, and not just wishful thinking.

My opinion all along is that it was not AG or TC, and I only base that on Savannah and Camron knowing their family (and we don’t), yet they had AG with them in several videos.

Yes, there are families in which a loved and trusted member does something gruesome and unexpected, but in my opinion Savannah would be savvy enough to realize that, having dealt with every kind of news story in her career.

Although I’m aware that anything is possible.

Come home, Nancy!

A gun in an oddly positioned holster, apparently.

Agreed.

can't distort bone structure jmo

 

[SlimPickens]

Could the gun be a stun gun/taser? Would those be 'shootable' with those gloves?

That facial hair is pretty distinctive. I imagine he started shaving the second this was released.

If not before.

Could also be fake I guess.

 

[bmacmillan1]

It’s most certainly a man. No need to even question it

Doorbell cam disconnects at 1:47am. NG's phone (found in the house) disconnects from her pacemaker at 2:28am. What happened in the house for 40 minutes? Doesn't take that long to subdue an elderly person and leave with them. Was he looking for something?

My opinion only:

The video of the assailant is earlier when they are disabling the camera.

Later, they gain entry to the house thru some other means.

Once they get inside 30 minutes later, the abduction is pretty quick.. and she is removed from the front door (where the camera is now disabled) and that is the difference in time.

 

[dogmom805]

He is wearing a prosthetic mask it appears.

JMO.

Scary AF

 

[osu]

Has DE been cleared? Or can anyone give me a reason why these images/videos could not be DE?

It sure resembles him to me.

Who is DE?

 

[Trino]

Now what will the abductor(s) do? A video could identify, especially with a $50,000 reward. People are going to be looking harder. Will they let NG go?

 

[SaraSmile]

I hate to say this considering the history of the Delphi video, but someone is going to recognize this guy, his movement, his clothes, backpack etc.

Yes, Libby’s pic of RA was the key to the case.
Remember the guesses about height weight?
Any guesses height and weight with this person?

JMO

 

[Irish1]

Yes. Just look at the height compared to the arch. That arch is pretty high.

The eyebrow color does not seem to match the mustache and the mustache looks too shaped. The weapon is possibly a semi automatic and the thing sticking out the pocket in an earlier picture could be an aspect. JMO
