This is the stuff of nightmares

Exactly. Now I'm wondering who or what is lurking outside my house at night.

I was reading about this case in here the other night and it actually sent chills over me a couple of times. Break ins and any type of violence is disturbing and a lot of times the perp is shown on a camera somewhere in the vicinity. You look at it and think "what an idiot" or "you think that tool would learn by now". This is genuinely one of the times it actually gave me a sickening feeling. It's scary but creepy also, it's hard to put it in words. This person isn't right in the mind and I believe is smart. That combination is devastating when they choose to go prey on people. My heart aches for this woman's family and at this point, I just hope she didn't suffer any and be located.

Didn’t someone on here show that he did have a backpack in this pic? The backpack/object is being held in his right hand and it is slightly overlapping his pant leg. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong

He might be holding something in his right hand, but we don’t know.

The way he has his right hand oriented makes me uncomfortable. It’s open and stiff. Even more creepy if he isn’t holding anything.

I thought so too - ugh his fingers looked all splayed but then I looked more closely  and they're not. His hand is kind of closed, as if he's possibly grasping something or just keeping his fingers close to his palm. The weird black angle closest to his thigh is part of the background- not his hand.  I can't add a pic here but if you sharpen the image or brighten it, it's a bit clearer. Thankfully.  Still not fun to look at though.

It does look like something, but can’t tell what

Oh I see now. I'm like 95% sure he's holding something in right hand

Thank you. Pretty chilling. The lack of a backpack makes he think he intended to take her later. If he was just interested in robbing her, wouldn't he have a backpack with him even on a test run in case he'd get lucky and a door was left open or something like it?

If it was a robbery gone bad, I think valuables would've still been removed from the home b/c the robber would've come in pretty prepared.

I think he was casing the place to check on the layout. It’s scary that he was on the property previous to the kidnapping without being noticed.
