Bombshell new pictures and video showing Nancy Guthrie’s alleged kidnapper outside her house were released by authorities on Tuesday.
The series of stills and two videos show an armed individual wearing a ski mask, gloves, a zipped jacket, and a backpack outside the front door of the 84-year-old woman’s Tucson, Arizona, home.
In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel shares a few pictures of the alleged kidnapper for the first time. Meanwhile, a former FBI agent told The Post that the bizarre way Nancy Guthrie’s alleged abductor carried his gun, along with the amateurish way he tried to cover up the Nest camera, all point to an inexperienced thug.

Why it took so long for FBI to get Nest camera footage of Nancy Guthrie suspect — and how it shows what Google is capable of
The FBI finally released the first images of Nancy Guthrie’s suspected abductor 10 days after she vanished from her Arizona home — a delay caused by two major obstacles — her security camera was missing and the 84-year-old grandmother didn’t subscribe to the camera’s back-up storage plan.
The long-awaited release of the horrifying break-in footage recorded by the missing Nest camera shows just what parent company Google is capable of, one expert said.

Guthrie wasn’t paying for a Google Home subscription which would have stored her Nest feed, even if the physical camera was removed. It costs $10 a month — or $100 a year — for the base service that saves video triggered by movements or “events” for 30 days.
“It gives us some insight to what Google is capable of,” former prosecutor and current criminal defense lawyer John W. Day told The Post.
