The man appeared to tamper with the camera. However, his identity has not been officially found.
In an attempt to imagine what the mask might be hiding, Lois Gibson, a longtime forensic sketch artist, published a portrait based on surveillance images.
Gibson, who spent decades with the Houston Police Department, is widely regarded as one of the nation’s most accomplished forensic artists.
“I guessed this Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect had parts of his face covered in a ski mask,” he wrote in a Facebook post sharing the drawing.
“I used the surveillance photos shown. I spent 43 years on the job assisting detectives with similar photos.”
Only the suspect’s eyes, lips and a portion of his facial hair were visible in the footage. Gibson acknowledged the uncertainty of his interpretation, adding, “I’ll be hurt if I’m wrong.”
