Doorbell Footage Reveals Masked Figure at Nancy Guthrie’s Home Days Before Disappearance
A masked individual captured on a doorbell camera at the home of Nancy Guthrie may have visited the property days before her reported abduction, according to emerging details from investigators.
Authorities say newly reviewed footage shows a person wearing dark clothing and a face covering approaching Guthrie’s front door late in the evening earlier this week. The individual did not appear to knock but lingered near the entrance before leaving the property. Investigators are now working to determine whether that visit was a reconnaissance attempt tied to the subsequent abduction.
Guthrie, a well-known Bible teacher and author recognized for her theological teaching ministry, was reported missing after family members were unable to reach her. Law enforcement officials have not released full details surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance but confirmed that they are treating the case as an active investigation.
The doorbell footage, timestamped several days prior to the reported abduction, is being analyzed for identifying features, including gait, clothing details, and possible vehicle activity in the surrounding area. Detectives are canvassing neighbors for additional surveillance recordings that may help establish a timeline of the suspect’s movements.
Authorities have urged residents to review their own home security systems for suspicious activity and to report any relevant information. “Even minor details could be critical,” a spokesperson said, emphasizing that early visits to a property can indicate premeditation in abduction cases.
Community members have expressed shock and concern, describing Guthrie as a respected and familiar presence. Local churches and supporters have organized prayer gatherings while awaiting further updates.
Law enforcement has not confirmed whether the masked individual seen in the earlier footage is definitively the same person involved in the abduction, but investigators say the timing and behavior are “concerning.”
