It's true. Security companies are going to make bank off of this.

It is just so unfortunate the system wasn’t fully functioning! I’m (admittedly) a bit paranoid and we live in an area that has had some issues with car break-ins/porch pirates so when we bought our house, we had a security system installed. I think we paid around $1000 for the equipment/install and pay $70 a month for monitoring: we have a video doorbell, floodlights with cameras on the front and back entrances, sensors on every door/window, and an alarm panel.

If God forbid someone came to my house in the middle of the night, I’d get 1) a time stamped notification/video of someone on my driveway, and the flood light would turn on 2) another time stamped notification/video of the person at my door, and 3) (if they did open the door/make entry), I’d get a time stamped notification of the door being opened and the alarm would sound summoning the police. Of course this can’t prevent everything but I don’t feel like we’re paying an unreasonable amount for this peace of mind, and the system is not hard to use or maintain.

This guy is not inexperienced at all. He looks like a pro.

A pro?? Searching around for whatever random piece of plant to stick up in front of the camera to cover it??

This images are chilling, but they show a lot. The FBI has technology where they can figure out exact measurements and distances from knee to foot, wrist to elbow, it would easily be able to rule out anyone they know who was a suspect.

Of course they could’ve paid someone, but that someone is not going to be content to not communicate with them and just hang around. They would have to be really expert in how they are exchanging information and communicating to not be detected.

Disagree. Same build as Tomasso.

The FBI would not have released them if they could ID him in these pics and vids. It's not him.

This. They only released it because they need the public's help, so likely a stranger or someone that only had limited contact with her in the past.

More footage just released 5 mins ago.

Or a direct family member, like the Unabomber or Charlie Kirk's killer. That's often who knows the person the best.

The actual video – not still pictures – is scarier! I hope everyone watches this person’s gait to see if it’s recognizable. Looks like they have a little bit of a limp or just favor one side over the other.

Remember that they did not pay for a subscription so they had to go back and try to restore the files that had already been deleted. This is not some magical poof instant process. Some companies keep a physical back up offsite (like Iron Mountain)and it takes a while to restore.
It may not necessarily have still been in the cloud.

I think that's what the FBI statement said, that it had to be recovered by experts from residual data.

I think it was confirmed that there was no cloud backup since she wasn't a subscriber, so they had to go through a process with experts and cooperating with private companies to try to recover it.

Lots of distinctive things here-the jacket. The pants look white. Distinctive build, (eyes and mouth) as I said before and the way the person stands. Also, the moustache is dark (SIL's is salt and pepper, mostly pepper). Hopefully they already have looked at everyone who worked there regularly and even just once within the past year and the neighbors. Might be someone associated with a worker. Even with the mask, there is so much that stands out. I have a good feeling they will find out the person at least.

No. It doesn't seem to be random.
