Nancy Guthrie’s suspected kidnapper made a grave error when breaking into the elder’s Tucson, Ariz., home on Feb. 1, according to an expert.
On Tuesday, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department released previously unavailable images and videos taken on a Google Nest camera mounted next to Guthrie’s front door, which show a disguised suspect tampering with the device before ultimately disconnecting and taking it.
It’s likely that the suspect thought any surveillance footage would be deleted upon disconnection — or at least unrecoverable given that Guthrie did not have a Google Home subscription — but that’s not what happened.
Longtime private investigator Andy Kay subsequently explained to Page Six how investigators were likely able to retrieve the footage.
