A person has been detained in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to law enforcement officials
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the FBI, detained the individual during a traffic stop south of Tucson, Arizona on Tuesday evening, officials said.The subject is being questioned in relation to the case, though no formal charges have been announced.
A court-authorized search is under way at a location connected to the individual in Rio Rico, Arizona, about 60 miles south of Tucson.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the person in custody is the same individual seen in surveillance footage released by the FBI.
Footage released this week shows a masked and armed individual tampering with a doorbell camera at Nancy Guthrie’s home on the morning she vanished.
Nancy, 84, was last seen on January 31, after being dropped off at her home in Catalina Foothills near Tucson; she was reported missing on February 1 when she failed to attend church and missed planned family activities.
Investigators believe she was taken against her will from her residence. Her home was treated as a crime scene after blood matching her DNA was found at the
New footage released by law enforcement appears to show a masked person carrying what looks like a firearm and a backpack, trying to obstruct or remove the doorbell camera the morning Nancy disappeared providing a major investigative lead. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made multiple public appeals for information, including emotional videos asking for anyone with knowledge of the case to come forward. Savannah posted the surveillance images on social media, writing that they believe their mother is still alive and urging the public to help bring her home. A $50,000 reward is being offered by law enforcement for information that leads to her safe return or an arrest. Media outlets previously received purported ransom notes demanding large sums in bitcoin, though officials have not verified the legitimacy of these communications. Law enforcement continues to coordinate a broad search, reviewing tips and evidence, and has called on the public to provide any actionable information. The investigation remains active and evolving, with federal and local agencies working together. Authorities have stated that additional details will be released as they become available; there is no confirmation yet of charges against the detained individual.
