Newly released footage showed a man trying to scale a wall in Tucson while wearing a similar backpack to the one Nancy Guthrie’s captor was seen with.
An unidentified bald man donning a gray zip-down jacket and blue jeans was seen taking off one backpack while another remained on his back around 1.53am local time on February 1, the same day the 84-year-old was reported missing.
He then appeared to try to get on the other side of the stone wall, but after a couple of moments of difficulty, he walked away.
On Thursday, TMZ reported the outlet received another ransom letter from Nancy’s captors, but this time with a threatening message about ‘not being taken seriously.’
Nancy, the beloved mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 after returning home from dinner and a game night with her other daughter, Annie.
The newest piece of evidence comes after bombshell footage showed a masked man at Nancy’s front door, fidgeting with the doorbell camera.
That man was seen wearing a black face mask, thick black latex gloves, and a black bookbag on his back. That clip marked the latest development in the missing persons case in over a week.
On Wednesday afternoon, investigators discovered a lone black glove near Nancy’s $1 million home that resembled the one the masked man had on in the doorbell clip.

Nancy, the beloved mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31. She was reported missing the following morning
The Daily Mail understands the lone glove, found lying in a small shrub, was bagged up and taken by authorities. They did not give a definitive answer on who it belonged to.
Nancy’s doorbell camera disconnected around 1.47am, and her pacemaker, an implanted medical device that regulates a person’s heart rate, stopped pairing with her phone and Apple Watch around 2.28am.
She was reported missing the following day after her church friends grew worried when she failed to show up for services. Nancy has not been seen or heard from since.
As the search for Nancy entered its eleventh day on Thursday, a large white forensic tent was erected outside of Nancy’s home in the very same place the masked figure was seen lurking.
Four officers arrived at Guthrie’s home in an unmarked black vehicle around 8am Thursday, the Daily Mail can reveal. Two officers in clothes were carrying a bag containing the tent, while the others brought in additional equipment.
The large tent, which blocked the entrance to Nancy’s home and the front porch where investigators previously found blood that matched her DNA, was taken down about an hour after being erected.
As of now, there is no further indication of exactly what officials were looking for. But forensic tents are typically erected when investigators want to conceal a body, weapon, or other critical pieces of evidence.

Just moments after news spread about the tent at her mother’s home, Savannah posted another heartbreaking video tribute to her missing mom.
‘Our lovely mom. We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope,’ the journalist said.
Several hundred detectives and agents have been assigned to the investigation that’s been gripping the world since news first broke of her disappearance.
Until Tuesday, it seemed authorities were making little headway in determining what happened to Nancy or finding who was responsible.
The surveillance photos showing a masked person trying to cover a doorbell camera on her front porch marked the first significant break in the case.
But the images did not show what happened to her or help determine whether she is still alive.
FBI Director Kash Patel said his team spent days trying to find lost, corrupted or inaccessible images.
Two investigators emerged from her eldest daughter Annie’s home on Wednesday with a paper grocery sack and a white trash bag.

One, still wearing blue protective gloves, also took a stack of letters from the roadside mailbox. They drove away without speaking to reporters.
Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, who live just miles away from Nancy, were the last people to see her.
Meanwhile, a series of ransom notes have been sent out to various news organizations, including TMZ and KOLD.
Many of the notes have demanded large monetary demands, including one that demanded $6 million in bitcoin.
TMZ received a fresh ransom letter just before 5am Pacific Time on Wednesday. The outlet said the correspondence stated the sender has tried unsuccessfully to get in contact with Camron Guthrie, Nancy’s son, and Annie.
In the message, the sender reportedly said they had information on the identity of the suspect who was seen at Nancy’s $1milion Tucson home the night she vanished.
‘If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant,’ the note allegedly read.
The Bitcoin address listed in the note is reportedly legitimate and different from the one in an original ransom note that TMZ and two local news stations in Arizona also received.
On Thursday afternoon, soon after the new footage of the man with the backpack came out, the outlet said they were sent yet another note.
Just after 8AM Pacific Time, the outlet opened an email that read: ‘I am not being taken seriously.’
The writer also stated he might be ‘incriminated like that Carlos guy,’ referring to Carlos Palazeulos, a delivery driver who was held by law enforcement in connection to Nancy’s disappearance.
He was later released.
The person who sent the recent email demanded a single Bitcoin, which is worth about $65,000, as payment for their information.
The anonymous author claimed in the note that they would need money ‘to lay low after identifying the kidnapper for fear of retaliation’.
The note, like the others, was sent to law enforcement.
