TUCSON, Ariz. — FBI video forensics experts were seen bringing specialized equipment into the area of Nancy Guthrie’s home, where blood was previously discovered, as the search for the missing 84-year-old Arizona woman enters its 12th day.
Photos obtained by Fox News Digital show members of the FBI’s Video Forensic Analysis Unit arriving at Guthrie’s residence carrying multiple Pelican-style hard cases into a tent set up at the front door.
The team also assisted in the race to catch Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger, who is now serving life in prison.
Investigators were also carrying a forensic height board, which can be used to compare physical conditions at the site to surveillance video recovered by the FBI.
The FBI does not publicly release a case-by-case list of investigations handled by its forensic video specialists. But the bureau’s Forensic Audio, Video and Image Analysis Unit, part of the FBI Laboratory and Operational Technology Division, routinely provides technical support in some of the nation’s most high-profile cases.
According to FBI materials, the unit is responsible for enhancing and clarifying surveillance video, authenticating recordings and analyzing possible edits or tampering, extracting still images for investigative comparison, interpreting timestamps and metadata, restoring damaged or obsolete audio and video media and providing expert testimony in court.
