“When you get video, it opens up many new avenues,” one former detective explained. Criminology experts echoed the sentiment, calling it a potential “game changer.” Height estimates could now be calculated based on camera angle and fixed architectural points. The suspect is believed to be between 5’9” and 5’10” with an average build.
In high-stakes investigations, clarity can shift momentum.
And momentum is what this case needed.
Images released by federal officials show a masked individual approaching Nancy’s front door, attempting to tamper with the camera, and carrying the now-identified backpack. Gloves were also visible — and authorities confirmed that several gloves recovered during the investigation have been submitted for forensic testing.
A white tent briefly erected outside the front entrance of Nancy’s home signaled intensified evidence processing. Investigators from the FBI’s Operational Technology Division were reportedly measuring precise camera angles to refine the suspect’s physical profile.
Behind the technical language of measurement and digital recovery is something far more human.
Nancy is 84 years old.
