Overview
- Tucson police discovered an unidentified body on March 12 in southeast Tucson that is preliminarily believed unlikely to be Nancy Guthrie, with no immediate sign of foul play reported in that case.
- Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told NBC investigators believe the abduction was targeted and said the perpetrator could "absolutely" strike again, urging residents to stay vigilant.
- Authorities are still processing mixed DNA recovered at Guthrie’s property and from items collected nearby, with no CODIS match to date as private labs continue testing.
- The FBI and sheriff’s department are combing broad surveillance and digital records, including doorbell footage of a masked person, and are examining a possible internet or power disruption near the home; damage to a nearby utility box is not currently believed to be connected.
- A combined reward of roughly $1.2 million remains in place for information leading to Guthrie’s recovery or arrests and convictions, with investigators reiterating that her family members are not suspects and urging tips to the FBI.
