A neighbor of Nancy Guthrie has come forward with potentially crucial details from the early morning hours surrounding her disappearance.

On an episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, broadcast on Fox Nation on March 23, neighbor Jeff Lamie discussed with the host about his residence, just a few houses away from Savannah Guthrie’s mother. He recounted how his pet dogs roused him and sought to go outside on January 11 and once more in the early morning hours of February 1.

 

Lamie described how his dogs awakened him shortly after 1 a.m. in the early morning of February 1. Guthrie’s neighbor brought the dogs into the courtyard at the rear of his property.

While he neither heard nor observed anything out of the ordinary at that moment, Lamie detected his pets behaving strangely as one of them gazed into the distance, seemingly fixated on something before continuing on, reports the Irish Star.

“Oh, just waking me up at that hour,” Lamie stated. “That’s what was atypical. Actually, it hasn’t happened since.”

He pointed out that “the dogs did rouse and I took them out. There’s an image of me on camera. I didn’t hear nothing or saw nothing, but you know, animals can be, especially dogs can be hypersensitive and we don’t know if there’s a correlation.

“We’ve shared it, whether it helps with the timeline or in any way,” he concluded. The search enters Day 52 for the 84-year-old mother of the Today Show host, who disappeared from her residence just north of Tucson, A.Z., on February 1. She was last seen at the home at around 9:30 p.m. on January 31 and was reported missing the next day.

On March 22, Lamie informed News 4 Tucson KVOA-TV that numerous residents remain “concerned” and “supporting the family.”

He noted there had been talks about restarting the neighborhood watch program. Lamie belongs to a group of neighbors who have served “an integral role throughout this investigation.”

The group has been helping the FBI gather video footage from residents’ properties, cross-checking that footage, and providing it to law enforcement.

“It’s a silver lining to a really dark cloud,” he observed.

Another neighbor acknowledged everyone feels uneasy after the incident.

“There’s a sense of what now out here,” she stated. “We need to rely on each other, and I’ve seen a lot of that in the past few weeks. More checking up on people and making sure everyone’s okay.

“Before this, we didn’t know each other. Now, we know a little more about each other and we know we’re in this together.”

This development comes as the puzzling disappearance of an Air Force general shares several disturbing parallels to the Nancy case.
