Nancy, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, prompting an extensive search effort by local and federal authorities. Investigators intensified their response after evidence connected to Nancy was discovered at the residence, leading to nationwide attention. Nearly two weeks later, officials released security footage that may provide new clues in the ongoing investigation.
The video, taken from a home security camera, shows a masked individual approaching the property late at night while wearing light-colored clothing. Former law enforcement officials reviewing the footage noted that the person appeared to carry an object resembling a firearm in an unusual manner, something they say could draw attention rather than avoid it, raising questions about the suspect’s intentions.
A behavioral analyst also pointed to the individual’s backpack, which appeared to be full before entry. According to experts, people committing simple theft usually travel light and often work in groups with assigned roles. The presence of a single individual carrying a full backpack suggests the situation may not match a typical burglary scenario.
Additional experts have also commented on the suspect’s walking pattern and lack of night-vision equipment, details investigators may examine further. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the family recently received another message demanding payment through cryptocurrency. Authorities have taken possession of the communication as part of the investigation, though its credibility has not yet been confirmed.
