Mystery Tech at Guthrie Scene: What Are Investigators Doing?
13 Feb
Summary
- Forensic tent removed from Nancy Guthrie's porch after investigation.
- Investigators brought high-tech video equipment into the home.
- The equipment may be used for detailed forensic video analysis.
Investigators have concluded their work under a forensic tent at Nancy Guthrie's home, removing it after a period of activity. The removal suggests the specific tasks at that location are complete, according to former NYPD homicide supervisor Joe Cardinale.
Tents are typically used to shield investigative processes from public view, a measure that can also serve legal purposes by preventing claims of a compromised scene. Former FBI special agent Jason Pack noted this practice.
Observers noted the presence of professional video equipment, identified as possibly a Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 4K Mini, a device used in broadcast production. Tech expert Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson explained its function in capturing and converting high-resolution video and audio.
This device's capabilities could be instrumental in transferring various video formats into standardized digital files for preservation or analysis. Experts like Pack speculate it might be used for detailed forensic video analysis tied to the porch area.
Such analysis could involve precise measurements of fixed structures to help estimate the height of a suspect seen in doorbell footage. This indicates that forensic work on video evidence is actively ongoing.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed what specific evidence is being processed or if the equipment is linked to any particular media. The timeline of events includes Guthrie being dropped off at home on January 31, with her doorbell camera disconnecting early on February 1, followed by motion detection and her pacemaker device disconnecting.
