Pima County Sheriff admits frustration among people
In recent weeks, the area surrounding Guthrie’s residence has been relatively quiet, particularly following the media’s departure. A few YouTubers have returned to maintain focus on the case, which some individuals fear may soon go cold.
“There’s frustration because people want to know [what happened],” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated to People magazine earlier this month. “But this is just like any other case. Sometimes you solve them within hours or days. Sometimes it takes a long time.”
Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since February 1. Authorities report that she was taken against her will from her home during the night. Despite receiving thousands of tips and pursuing several leads, Guthrie’s location remains unknown.
Stating that they got calls and tips, Nanos told People, “Even if the tip is from last night, 102 days later, because it might be somebody calling saying, ‘Somebody in this neighborhood doesn’t look right.’ We tell our folks here in Pima County: if you see something suspicious to you, call us.”
Pima County Sheriff gives update on DNA discovery
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated that investigators are continuing to analyze blood evidence and may be making progress in identifying the unknown DNA discovered at the scene.
In an interview with People, Nanos mentioned that the sample is currently under examination by various laboratories, including specialists from the FBI in Quantico, while the investigation remains active and no suspect has been identified.
Investigators had previously released doorbell camera footage that captured a masked individual near the property around the time of her disappearance.
In his conversation with People, Sheriff Nanos confirmed that laboratories are still analyzing blood collected from outside Nancy Guthrie’s residence, which includes spatter found on the porch and along the pathway leading to the street.
“I know we have DNA that is unknown who the contributor or depositor is, but I think they’re getting closer to finding out who that was,” he stated.
