Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her Tucson home on February 1 and her abduction was captured on a doorbell camera showing a masked, gloved man known publicly as the “porch guy.”
- Pima County Sheriff’s investigators with FBI support say they have unknown DNA from the scene and that advanced laboratory work may be getting closer to naming a contributor.
- Volunteers reported finding a pajama top near disturbed ground along Highway 79 and deputies collected the item for forensic testing, but officials have not confirmed any link to Guthrie.
- No suspect has been publicly identified or arrested and investigators stress the case remains active while cautioning that labs could eventually find DNA evidence unanalyzable.
- Outside experts have proposed multiple theories, including a so-called wrench attack or a lone actor, and the large volume of tips has prompted comparisons to past Tucson cases where key names were buried in thousands of leads.
