NBC News<\/a> that while they have four cameras on their property, only the one nearest Guthrie\u2019s home was missing footage during the critical timeframe. The timing was described as \u201cuncanny.\u201d<\/p>\nMorgan Wright, CEO and founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases, said true Wi-Fi jamming typically disrupts all devices within range.<\/p>\n
“If they were using Wi-Fi jammers, then I would expect that we would not be able to see any video from the front door cameras,” Wright told Fox News Digital. <\/p>\n
He said that when jammers are active and persistent, footage often degrades or cuts out entirely.<\/p>\n
“As you get closer with the jammer, the signal starts getting interfered with,” he said. “The closer you get to the source of the signal emination, which is the router with the Wi-Fi access point, then you might get a total blackout.”<\/p>\n
However, video released publicly in the case does not appear glitchy or distorted, he noted.<\/p>\n
Lisa Miller, a retired detective and former law enforcement executive with the Colorado Attorney General\u2019s Office, said while Wi-Fi jammers have been used by organized burglary groups, she considers it less likely in this case.<\/p>\n
“The video of the porch monster released by the FBI, didn\u2019t appear glitchy. At all,” Miller told Fox News Digital. <\/p>\n
Miller said if a device were involved, it could just as easily have been a handheld radio rather than a more sophisticated tool.<\/p>\n
“Even police car laptops have glitched during traffic stops of someone with a jammer. I think it more likely, if that spot people think is an antenna in his pocket\u2026or if he had any device, it would be a small handheld radio. I think it\u2019s smarter to use that than a burner phone. The criminals know what the FBI CAST team can do.”<\/p>\n
When asked about reports of a potential internet outage in Guthrie’s neighborhood at the time of her disappearance, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that they cannot comment.<\/p>\n
