Former FBI Special Agent Maureen O'Connell expressed confidence that authorities are closing in on the 'porch guy' who abducted 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson, Arizona home in February.
O'Connell, citing confidential sources, stated that she is 75% confident that the elusive figure will soon be arrested.
The 'porch guy' was captured on Guthrie's doorbell camera, wearing a mask and armed with a pistol, and has managed to evade law enforcement for almost five months.
Authorities have released disturbing footage of the individual, who attempted to obscure the camera with a gloved hand and removed flowers from Guthrie's garden.
Investigators consider two ransom notes received by Guthrie's family to be authentic, one of which asserts that Guthrie has passed away.
O'Connell warned that authorities are operating under the assumption that a significant portion of their evidence may be tossed, and are therefore methodically constructing a case in anticipation of the trial.
