He revealed in an interview with Fox News that the suspect’s first act was to put on his gloves. Jonny revealed that it did not look like he was trying to take [the camera] off. Speaking on the behaviour of the suspect, Jonny revealed that it looks like he was trying to cover the door camera with his right hand.

Did Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper deliberately try to get Nancy answer the doorbell?

For the unversed, the FBI authorities and even Savannah Guthrie released snaps of a masked man who was caught on the clip located by a security camera outside the home of Nancy Guthrie, the day she went missing. Former FBI agent Jonny Grusing further revealed his theory related to the Nancy case, shared that there is a possibility that the potential suspect deliberately tried to get Nancy to answer the door. In his words:

“And then he looks down, he looks around, and he gets the branches, and he puts the branches up in front of it. Is there a chance, since we don’t have audio, that he is either knocking on the door loudly or that he has pressed the ring doorbell, [that] he’s trying to get Nancy to answer the door, and he’s shielding himself from being seen as a masked person, so she will, in her confusion, open the door?”

Jonny Grusing, in his theory, further revealed that the suspect was not there to rob the house of Nancy Guthrie. Since she stayed in a sprawling residential area, Gruising believes it is very unlikely that the suspect is a robber who happened to show up at the address. However, Jonny made a strong point and revealed that the suspect involved in kidnapping Nancy Guthrie may have been there, as he may have had some personal grievance against the old lady. Hence, he may have lured her out of her home near her porch.

Jonny did not find the g** wore on the front part of his body as tactically sound as the g**man would have had trouble firing with the gloves that he donned. The g** may just have been a prop used to instil fear in the eyes of Nancy Guthrie. Jonny emphasised that maybe the kidnapper wanted her to confront something and said:

“So, if the g**s a prop, if he’s shielding himself from being seen, if he’s actually ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door, getting her to come, he wants to confront her about something in my opinion.”
