Nancy was abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home early in the morning of Sunday, Feb. 1. After releasing new surveillance footage of a masked intruder coming into Nancy’s home, the FBI and local law enforcement are pursuing new leads.
Authorities in the area have reached out to Ring doorbell camera users located near Nancy’s Catalina Foothills home for footage from specific dates, including one 20 days prior to Nancy’s abduction, PEOPLE confirms.
Investigators have requested footage from Jan. 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight local time as well as footage from Jan. 31 between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., the morning before Nancy’s abduction.
Neighbor Laura Gargano confirmed to PEOPLE that a request for those dates was sent via the Ring doorbell app. In their request, police noted that a “suspicious vehicle” had been spotted in the vicinity.
