Overview
- Chris Nanos, the Pima County sheriff leading the case, said in a report published Monday that he is not personally in touch with Nancy Guthrie’s relatives, leaving communications to investigators and the FBI.
- Detectives are analyzing blood and other DNA from the Tucson home at multiple labs, including the FBI’s facilities, and Nanos has said those tests could help identify an unknown contributor.
- Investigators continue to mine thousands of surveillance clips and digital records, and previously shared doorbell images of a masked person whom the FBI described as a man about 5'9" to 5'10" with an average build.
- A retired FBI special agent, Steve Moore, criticized the investigation’s first week as chaotic, citing a communication breakdown between local deputies and federal agents that he said can undermine a crime scene.
- No arrests have been announced, and rewards now top $1.2 million as Guthrie’s family urges tips to 1-800-CALL-FBI to help locate the 84-year-old believed to have been taken from her home.
