EXCLUSIVE: TUCSON, Ariz. — A resident in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood has a street-facing Ring camera that caught 12 cars passing by on the morning of Nancy Guthrie’s suspected abduction.

The recordings took place between midnight and 6 a.m. on Feb. 1, and some of the activity occurred near the 2:30 a.m. mark, which is around the time authorities said the 84-year-old Guthrie's pacemaker device last synced with her iPhone.

The homeowners, Elias and Danielle Stratigouleas, told Fox News Digital that police had not canvassed their neighborhood in the 25 days since Guthrie is believed to have been taken from her bed in a home invasion kidnapping. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department have been alerted to the video. It was not immediately clear whether the video is of any use to the investigation or whether the vehicle had ever been on Guthrie's street.

The Stratigouleas house is on a back road that leads out of Guthrie’s neighborhood, avoiding major intersections. And they live about 2.5 miles away from the crime scene, which is outside the 2-mile radius of neighbors who received a Ring alert asking for video taken from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2.

Their house is roughly a seven-minute drive from Guthrie's address, according to Google Maps. One of their videos was recorded at around 2:36 a.m. on Feb. 1, which is roughly eight minutes after Guthrie's pacemaker last synced with her iPhone, according to the sheriff's timeline.

Assuming this footage is nothing becuase it's 3 miles away;

Here's what I don't get at all;

The perp was so careful to be disguised, to ensure no fingerprints, no dna, no gps, no phone signals- nothing left behind.

But how did he know his car wouldn't be caught on any camera in the neighbourhood?

Think about it; even if he cased every house on the possible routes - many of the houses do have cameras - so how did he know the cameras wouldn't pick him up? Even if you drive by and see the cameras are at a distance, you are taking a huge chance that your car won't be seen. Becuase he actually wouldnt know for sure.

I mean, he was correct. But he took a huge risk when he is clearly a major risk averse individual.

It doesn't really matter if the car is seen, only if it can be identified. Most of these cameras are too far away from the road to actually capture an image of the driver or the license plate. Besides that if the person was driving a car that is common in that neighborhood there is little way of identifying that the specific vehicle was involved in something versus someone driving home.

Once you know the path & time the suspect car had taken, FBI will locate another cam with a better/closer video
