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

Totally agree with you.. I’ve never seen a holster like that, worn like that. And the firearm looks awkward resting in it. I was a cop a loooong time ago and carried a hammer-less revolver in a cross-body, right-hand release like that. But I wore it more toward my left side and tucked inside my waistband. This is just a weird setup he wearing.

Please don't post pictures of people on here comparing them to the suspect. You could do more harm to the case then good.

Those new FBI-released doorbell cam photos today are chilling. The person is masked up, gloved, backpack on, gun on the belt, flashlight in mouth while they’re tampering with the camera the morning she vanished. Super low-res night vision, but some people are swearing they see facial hair. I honestly don’t see it at all — through my eyes it looks like a woman.

The eyes and eyebrows seem feminine to me too, but then I also see what I believe to be a moustache - what if it's a fake moustache though?? I still (IMO) think it's a male though.

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.

Or someone with a backpack and restrictive clothing on...

Or a bullet proof vest...

For me, it is a data point that helps rule out the SIL.

The SIL would have known about the door camera and come prepared for it. It's obvious from the video that the actual perp noticed the camera as he approached the door and then had to freelance a response to it.

I disagree. In the new video just released that was filmed before the other videos, he approaches the porch like he knew the camera was there. Head down the whole time. I think that at some point then he said screw it and just decided to keep going with the plan regardless of whether the camera showed his masked face or not. Which is why he then got the flowers to try and block the camera and then eventually removed/destroyed it.

I wonder if these videos and pics of the suspect at the door are not from right before the crime, but directly after it? Something to throw off LE? Very strange!

I would love to see a time stamp. What if he did this BEFORE she got home and was already in the house waiting? I don't think the times line up. Just throwing it out there as a very weak idea.

Someone on TV mentioned how would he pull the gun out with those gloves !!
He can’t manipulate his hands or fingers
at all .

This video will end up solving the situation.
So much the FBI can glean

FBI rep in TV said his eyebrows are extremely manicured and trimmed/ taken care of. As others have noted.

His whole outfit looks randomly cobbled together.

Something bright is reflecting off of his backpack strap.
They are getting highly detailed info in the infrared light, even with how dark it is,

Perp has 2 masks, a full backpack and likely 2 pairs of gloves on with the outer pair being latex. Mexican cartel IMO (added by mod)

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

I thought so as well.

The build is undoubtedly male to me. I’m surprised people are saying it could be a female.

I’ve seen speculation that the suspect is wearing a mask underneath the balaclava. The kind which have a face printed on. I remember seeing images of the masks circulating online a few months ago as they are hyper realistic and could definitely help someone evade cctv.

I wonder if he came through the front door and took her out that way too. She had an injury then and bled a bit. Then he would've had to get her in a vehicle of some sort. Maybe she walked a little under threat. But the perp would've had to make sure she was quiet. I guess cover the mouth or threaten severely or both.

If she was killed in the house, God help her, perp would've had to carry or drag her.

There must be a vehicle nearby.
