Those images are absolutely terrifying. I can’t imagine how Nancy’s children must be feeling having seen the disturbing footage. My heart goes out to them.

Sadly, this monster has seen a vulnerable, old woman living alone in an expensive home and viewed her as an easy target. So so sad. Still hoping for a miracle however unlikely it now seems.

To me, the whole aura is definitely MALE.
Brian Entin says he is sure that suspect has a moustache as well.

I thought so as well.

Holding a flashlight in his mouth so he could see. MOO

I don't think those are groomed eyebrows, I think they are the frames of a pair of glasses! Also MOO

I think it may just be the eye openings in the ski mask are partially obscuring his eyebrows and making them look thinner.

Exactly. I'm not convinced he is a professional. May have been hired or may have planned this with another person or on their own. If he hasn't disguised his facial features, he may be recognized. His gun / holster is distinctive and may be recognizable to somebody. Same with the backpack.

His backpack was full so he had things in there that he planned to use or had in there in case he needed them. This wasn't a robbery. He didn't act as if he had anticipated a nest cam.

Which is especially dumb since a lot of people have security cams. I have a camera. My neighbor across the street has cameras that also cover my house and parts of the houses to either sides of mine and he’ll text me if he sees something odd. We have a robust neighborhood watch here, we all know each other and look out for each other.

You have to assume everyone has one until they prove they don’t. The relative of a celebrity certainly would.

Maybe this dude is a crypto bro but he failed Sneaky Sneaking 101.

Indeed it is.

He had it way low though and not tucked in. He seemed to have it concealed first then displayed it out in the open as he approached. Two things with this position, easy access quick draw, and intimidation/brandishing factor.

Still elements of things thrown together for me. Should have been all black, no reflective stripes on backpack, just a wonky rag tag look for a seasoned criminal. Very brazen as well in the approach. Would seem to know exactly what was behind the door (no threat of a dog or guy with a 12 gauge)

Agreed. Appears to me to be a person with some experience and forethought/planning and yet still amateurish in many ways (thankfully) at the same time. Sort of a cocky, wannabe personality type. MOO

Did the perpetrator come in through the front door? It appears that he at least tried. But if he made it in that way, why disable the floodlights in the back? And when did he do that?

One thing is now absolutely clear: this case will be solved, and rather quickly.

That’s what was said about missy bevers at one time

I might be wrong, but to me it looks like a 'mismatch' of 3 hole balaclava, gloves and jacket. It sounds planned but 'amateurish'.

It was so obvious that the FBI had more then they were actually saying.

Yes, FBI really delivered on this one. I was expecting a distant pic from a Circle K cam.

One thing is certain, the person responsible is definitely not feeling very comfortable right now.

Or he is gloating and loves the attention.

in the last video shared by FBI, it was before all the other ones. He approaches the front door with his head down, as if he knew it was there or at least spotted it pretty quickly. IMO

I haven’t seen that one yet.

Post are coming in fast, so I have no idea if anyone has discussed the firearm/holster combo. Looks odd to me. Appears to be the butt of a semiautomatic handgun, but in a holster one would more commonly associate with a revolver. Especially a single action revolver. Note how the holster is rounded at the end (muzzle) and is closed. Note the profile of the holster. The wide, rounded opening ( where the trigger guard of a revolver would be, and the longer shank for the barrell. An exception to this if for a semiautomatic like a ruger 22 auto. A holster for that might look similar. The placement of the firearm in the holster does not look correct for that type holster. I shoot alt of guns and that set up looks odd. I’m going to chat got that holster to see if I can find one like it

What chat got says

What the setup looks like

  • The gun profile does read more like a semi-auto (flat slide, no visible cylinder bulge).
  • The holster, though, is very Western / single-action revolver era in design:
    • Full-length, closed muzzle
    • Light leather body
    • Dark edge binding
    • Single dark retention strap across the body (not a modern thumb-break)
    • Low-ride / drop style rather than a high concealment rig

That combo absolutely exists — it’s uncommon, but it’s a known crossover style.

Still looking for THAT HOLSTER. we can find it if it’s not homemade

I agree about 'not a young person'. The way he walks off step when he turned to get the lantana seems older and stiff versus young and spry.
Click to expand...
He looks stiff when he reaches down to get the flowers. He doesn't bend over from the waist. Instead, he bends his front leg and balances himself by putting his other leg behind him. As some have noted, that could be due to the gun at his crotch. (If I were a dude, I wouldn't holster a gun at my crotch. Just sayin'.)

But the way he bends down is also like someone with lower back pain.* Also, unless I'm mistaken, he appears to be trying to pad around quietly.

*ETA, people have also pointed out that the apparent stiffness could be due to the weight of the backpack. That's certainly possible, though its bulk doesn't necessarily indicate its weight or contents.

I typically won't ask questions without reading comments first...but it's moving so quickly here.
Is anyone familiar with cosplay? Is this costume familiar to any characters? I'll ask my gamer teenage son but it looks like a cheap costume to me.
My opinion only and thought I'd ask...the more brains working on this the better

Sadly agree. ^^^

He'd have to know the exact location of the cameras as they were disabled/SD cards removed, and also that Nancy was being driven home after the dinner and game night.
Plus a random perp wouldn't have spent time in the house, as it doesn't look like a robbery.
Was the kidnapper looking for her will ?
Maybe Nancy was planning to change it and someone(s) disagreed.

How would this potential suspect know when dinner and the game was over and she was being driven home ?
One would think there'd be contact on the possible perp's and the mastermind's phones.
If the sheriff or the fbi would come out and say the family is cleared, people could focus on outside perps, there must be some reason they're not doing this ?
Omo.

I also thought that the suspect could have followed her home (the car she was driven home in) from AG's house, could be why LE wanted footage on the path between those 2 places....

I think this is likely the most helpful image to someone who is intimately familiar with this person.
