Retired Forensic Artist Unveils Unofficial Sketch in Nancy Guthrie Search

The image draws from limited features visible in FBI doorbell video of a masked visitor.

Overview

  • Lois Gibson, a retired Houston Police Department sketch artist recognized by Guinness World Records, produced the drawing independently to spur leads.
  • Gibson focused on the suspect’s eyes, eyelids and a visible mustache, stressing that other elements are educated guesses due to the ski mask.
  • She estimated the person of interest to be younger than 40 based on the video, noting that details such as hair and facial structure are provisional.
  • The FBI maintains a $100,000 reward and has reported no arrests, with recent detentions for questioning resulting in releases.
  • Investigators say DNA recovered at the scene does not match Guthrie or close contacts and is under analysis as the 84-year-old’s health needs heighten urgency.
