No Arrests Made After Latest SWAT Raid In Nancy Guthrie Case

Law enforcement officials confirmed Saturday morning that no individuals remain in custody and that no arrests have been made after a targeted SWAT operation related to the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie on Friday night.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD), assisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other local law enforcement agencies, confirmed that a massive law enforcement operation was underway at a residence in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills section. The raid took place not far from Nancy Guthrie’s home, where she was last seen on the night of January 31.

Forensics teams were seen entering the property while reports emerged that at least three people had been detained. An additional individual was detained in a nearby Culver’s restaurant parking lot, while a vehicle belonging to that person was searched by FBI agents.

FBI agents examined the vehicle, sealed its trunk, and towed it for further analysis shortly after 10 p.m. local time.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the developments in a morning press briefing on Saturday, in which he indicated that no arrests have been made. “Nothing more than a lead tracked down that led to a search warrant,” he said, adding that individuals who were previously detained for questioning had been released.

“No one is in custody, and no arrests have been made in connection with the abduction of Nancy Guthrie,” he said.

NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin reported that while no arrests were made, investigators are still “interested” in leads relating to last night’s raid. “It’s all ongoing,” he added, citing conversations with sources familiar to the investigation.

Authorities with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department previously raided a home in Rio Rico, Arizona — a border town located about an hour south of Tucson — but the individual detained in connection with that raid was released without charges.

While there are no arrests — I’m told investigators are still interested in leads from last night. It’s all ongoing.

Friday’s law enforcement actions followed the recovery of unidentified DNA from Guthrie’s property, which PCSD investigators are working to track. “Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to. We are not disclosing where that DNA was located,” a department spokesperson added.

The FBI previously released a description of the suspect for the first time on February 12, which followed the recovery of doorbell camera footage obtained from residual data at Guthrie’s home. Footage shows a masked individual, armed with a handgun, approaching her door around the time of the abduction. The person, who has been described as a male standing about 5’9′, wore a ski mask, gloves, and a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

As of this report, investigators have yet to release the identity of any suspects or persons of interest in the case. The FBI is offering $100,000 for any information leading to an arrest or Guthrie’s return as the search enters its third week.
