Former FBI Director Dives Into Nancy Guthrie Suspect Photos, Speaks to Black Area Above Lip

The search for Nancy Guthrie is continuing, and authorities have shared photos of a potential suspect who was seen outside of her door before she was declared missing.

If you don’t know, the 84-year-old mom of Today show host Savannah Guthrie was last seen on Saturday (January 31).

Andrew McCabe, former FBI deputy director, looked at the photos and noticed what many are noticing: what appears to be a dark area above the lip.

McCabe told CNN, “If you look just under his nose … you can see what appears to be a mustache underneath that mask. So I think it’s highly probable that this person also has facial hair, at least to include a mustache, maybe more than that.”

Please note: the gender of the person in the photos has not been identified at this time.

“It’s those kinds of details that, individually, don’t mean anything, but when you put them all together, if you know this person, that might jog your ability to identify him and provide that information to the authorities,” McCabe added.

Josh Schirard, a former SWAT commander and police captain, then spoke about the gun in the images.

“This seems more like a very cheap, off-the-shelf holster that somebody just stores their gun in. And it just happens to have a belt loop on the back of it that they thought that they could throw on,” he said.

He then mused about why the potential perp put the gun there.

“Was it out of convenience? Obviously, the intent wasn’t to conceal it. So was the intent to make sure it was displayed in order to be threatening when he went into that house? Or to be quickly accessed when he went into that house? Or in case anyone came across him?” he continued.
