SWAT and FBI Search Tucson Home and Vehicle in Nancy Guthrie Case After New DNA Lead

Investigators point to unidentified DNA as unverified ransom contacts complicate the hunt.

Overview

  • Overnight on Feb. 13–14, Pima County deputies executed a search warrant about two miles from Guthrie’s home, and one person was questioned then released.
  • FBI agents examined a Range Rover near the targeted residence, sealed its trunk, and had the vehicle towed for further review.
  • Authorities report DNA at Guthrie’s home from someone not known to be close to her, with porch blood and recovered black gloves undergoing forensic testing.
  • Multiple ransom communications reported to media outlets remain unauthenticated, and the FBI reward for information has been raised to $100,000.
  • Nancy Guthrie, 84, remains missing with no verified proof of life, as her family issues public pleas and Savannah Guthrie steps away from Olympic coverage to be with relatives.
