As someone who hasn’t paid a lot of attention to this case other than general curiosity out of how odd it is. I had wondered why the family hadn’t been able to give the police the security footage sooner.

When Nancy Guthrie went missing, officials said she had a doorbell camera, but that it had been forcibly removed, and she did not have a subscription.
