- Six photos and three videos released by the FBI show a masked person with gloves, a backpack and a holstered pistol apparently tampering with the door camera on the morning she disappeared, reconstructed from residual backend data with private partners.
- A person detained during a traffic stop south of Tucson was questioned and later released without charges after searches including a residence in Rio Rico.
- Investigators are treating the case as an abduction after blood found at the home was DNA-matched to Nancy Guthrie, whose age and medical needs heighten urgency.
