SWAT Raids Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home as Mystery DNA Surfaces and FBI Doubles Reward

Investigators now zero in on a masked man seen on recovered doorbell video.

Overview

  • Late Friday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed a joint operation with the FBI at a residence about two miles from Guthrie’s home, blocking roads for searches tied to the case.
  • Multiple outlets reported several people were detained during the operation, though authorities have announced no arrests and provided no confirmation of suspects.
  • Investigators said DNA collected at Guthrie’s property does not match her or close contacts, and several recovered gloves from the area are undergoing forensic testing.
  • The FBI released refined details of the person seen at the door: a male about 5'9" to 5'10" with an average build wearing a black 25‑liter Ozark Trail backpack, and increased the reward to $100,000.
  • Officials report no proof of life and continue to assess unverified ransom communications, as thousands of public tips flow in following the release of the doorbell footage.
