Investigators searching for answers in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie descended on two locations near her home overnight, as they continue to sift through the thousands of potential leads that have arrived since she vanished Feb. 1.
Law enforcement officers first shut down a street to investigate a residence a few minutes’ drive from Guthrie’s home Friday night near Tucson, Arizona. Later, deputies with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and personnel from the FBI swarmed a gray Range Rover at a nearby Culver’s restaurant parking lot, extensively photographing the vehicle before having it towed away.
At the request of the FBI, the sheriff’s department shared few details about the overnight developments related to Guthrie’s case. Her disappearance — now being investigated as a kidnapping — has captivated the country.
No one has been arrested, nor is anyone in custody in connection with Guthrie’s abduction, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Saturday morning.
So far, the biggest break in the search has come in the form of footage released Feb. 10 from Guthrie’s doorbell camera, which showed a masked man with a backpack and a holstered handgun arriving at her house just before the apparent abduction.
After several days passed without any public updates from authorities about the case, Chris Nanos, the Arizona sheriff leading the search, shed some light in interviews Friday on the progress his department was making.
Nanos said that investigators had taken DNA from Guthrie’s property, which, according to a statement from his department, did not belong to anyone in close contact with her. Tests on DNA were also being run, he said, against a pair of gloves, found roughly two miles from Guthrie’s house, that were similar to the pair worn by the man who appeared on the doorbell camera footage.
The sheriff said he had “no way” of being certain, for now, whether the gloves investigators recovered were the same seen on the man in the footage. But the search would continue for however long — days, months, or years — as was necessary to get answers, he said.
