Seeking the Masked Man: A Clue in the Nancy Guthrie Case

In the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the most important clue is a video of a masked man. This man was seen messing with her doorbell camera just before she went missing. The sheriff in charge of the case says this man is the key to solving the mystery. The video shows a man with a ski mask, gloves, and a backpack. He was seen near Nancy's home shortly before she disappeared. The sheriff believes this man is the one they need to find. He thinks that someone out there knows who this man is. Experts say the police might be using facial recognition technology. They could be trying to match the man's face to a national database. This could help them find out who he is. The sheriff says the video has led to many tips. Over 5, 000 calls came in after the video was released. The police and the FBI have already received around 30, 000 calls about the case. They are looking at all kinds of videos and data to find more clues.Nancy was last seen on January 31st. Her family dropped her off at home after dinner. The next day, they reported her missing. The sheriff says Nancy has health problems and needs daily medicine. She couldn't have wandered off on her own. There have been two ransom notes since Nancy disappeared. Both were sent to news outlets and set deadlines that have passed. Savannah Guthrie, Nancy's daughter and a famous TV news anchor, has made public appeals. She has asked for help in finding her mother and even offered to meet ransom demands. The sheriff says there is no proof that Nancy is alive or dead. But he believes she is still alive. He says hope is all they have right now. The FBI has increased the reward for information about Nancy's whereabouts to $100, 000.
