Expert reveals key details in Nancy Guthrie kidnapper suspect identity as FBI release new images & video pointing to possible break through in missing woman’s case as Savannah Guthrie say they do not recognize the abductor suspect while appealing to the public if they now recognize person who may have taken the 84-year-old mom.
A former CIA and FBI agent has revealed a specific detail that could point to the identity of the suspect in new released images and video of Nancy Guthrie’s alleged abductor; their gait.
‘I think [the suspect’s] gait is interesting,’ former CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told Page Six of the photos and videos that were released by authorities on Tuesday.
‘While [their] walk is not overly distinctive, I do think that’s something the FBI could look at,’ the agent told the tabloid.

The former investigator also noted how the suspect’s eyes were exposed despite wearing a mask, saying, ‘I’m shocked [they] didn’t have some kind of night vision glasses to deter [their] eyes.’
The investigator went on to stress there were enough details presented in the released images and video for the FBI to now ‘build a physical profile,’ of the suspect, including looking at everything from the ‘labels of the shoes’ to ‘shoe size, gender, height and weight.’
The former FBI special agent also broke down how the video proves the kidnapping was ‘highly planned.’

‘This is a person who came with a backpack, came with a weapon. They aren’t there to steal anything. They would have bags to do that. [Nancy] was the target. This video really illustrates that,’ Walder told Page Six.
Adding, ‘I think there is a difference between being experienced and this being planned. I don’t know if this is a professional kidnapper who has been working for decades. I don’t think this is some professional kidnapping ring. I do think this person had a target in mind. They planned to the best of their ability to do this.’
Rookie abductor made crucial error
In addition to the suspect’s descriptive features, a second expert previously told Page Six a crucial mistake made by the suspect that could lead authorities to the abductor.
Longtime private investigator Andy Kay explained that the suspect ripping off the Nest doorbell footage actually helped authorities obtain the footage.
‘The cameras will record to the servers as long as they have internet,” the Kay & Associates founder said. ‘According to Nest, without a subscription, usually they are quickly overwritten by next images. But if the camera is disconnected, there should be nothing to overwrite on the server.’
Kay branded the suspected kidnapper a ‘rookie.’
Nancy Guthrie family appeal to the public who may recognize kidnapper suspect
The above revelations come as authorities on Tuesday released photos and videos of a masked individual wearing gloves and a backpack. In the video, the person could be seen fidgeting with the doorbell camera and turning around to grab foliage from the ground.
The suspect used it to conceal the camera before ripping it off.
Nancy’s daughter Savannah Guthrie along with her siblings have stated that they do not recognize the alleged abductor from released video and images shared the items on social media in the hopes that others might.
Wrote the Today show co-anchor, ‘Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home. We believe she is still alive.’
Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1 by a friend after she failed to show up to a viral church service.
Monday ransom deadline came and went with no further correspondence
Investigators believed she was kidnapped in her sleep and ‘harmed,’ as a trail of blood, which authorities confirmed was hers, was found outside her front door.
A ransom note was sent to news organizations demanding the Guthrie family pay $6 million in bitcoin by the deadline of Monday, Feb. 9 at 5 p.m. MT.
As part of the condition of payment, the family members had requested proof that Nancy was still alive only for the Monday 5 p.m deadline to come and pass with no further correspondence from the kidnapper(s), leading to questions whether the mom was still alive?
Authorities are now collecting DNA from hired workers, as they continue investigating around the clock for the missing 84-year-old matriarch who has a noted heart condition requiring vital daily medication.
