FBI's Nancy Guthrie update delayed by wait for results from sheriff
Share this @internewscast.com

Officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who are currently investigating the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, have not been able to update the public due to pending test results from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, according to several sources.

Fox News Digital and AZFamily have both highlighted that the FBI is eager to shed light on a series of Friday night raids. These operations included a SWAT team focusing on a residence in Tucson, Arizona, while agents simultaneously conducted a traffic stop nearby.

However, sharing details has been hindered as Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has yet to deliver the necessary lab results.

Earlier this week, Nanos faced criticism for opting to send DNA samples to a private lab in Florida instead of utilizing the FBI’s renowned forensics facility in Quantico, Virginia.

AZFamily has also noted the delay, and it remains uncertain whether the awaited results pertain to the recent Friday night activities or tests conducted earlier in the week.

The television station reported that the lab results the FBI is anticipating are expected to be available by Saturday.

It is unclear how much longer after that it will take for the public briefing to take place and whether Nancy’s Today star daughter Savannah and her two siblings have been given information still being withheld from the public. 

Nancy, 84, vanished from her $1 million home in the early hours of February 1. Investigators are now on day 14 of the search.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told The New York Times on Friday that it could potentially take ‘years’ to find her.

A house in Tucson was raided by a Pima County Sheriff Department's SWAT team on Friday night. Law enforcement said they were executing a federal search warrant

Nanos said Friday night’s law enforcement activity near Nancy’s home was focused on ‘tracking down leads.’

‘No arrests,’ he told NewsNation’s Brian Entin on Saturday morning. ‘And no signs of Nancy.’

He also denied a claim made by local NBC affiliate KVOA that someone shot themselves in the head while being detained at the Tucson house.  

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department later confirmed that a ‘federal court-ordered search warrant’ had been executed in connection to her disappearance.

The warrant was ‘based on a lead we received,’ law enforcement said, and no arrests were made.

Police said the search happened at ‘a residence near E. Orange Grove Rd. and N. First Ave,’ but did not immediately provide more details.

Last night, the sheriff’s department claimed that was due to federal authorities’ involvement in the raid.

‘Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI – no additional information is currently available,’ the department wrote on X.

The traffic stop that also took place during the operation resulted in one person being questioned, with their Range Rover Sport loaded onto a flat bed truck for examination.

The sheriff's department also confirmed that a traffic stop on Friday night led to one person being questioned but no arrests

David Curl, who has lived in Nancy’s neighborhood for 30 years, offered additional information about the raid.

Curl told The New York Times he was relaxing at home after returning from vacation when a sheriff’s deputy showed up with his next-door neighbor.

She had been alone when law enforcement arrived at her residence with the search warrant.

The homeowner was forced to spend the night at Curl’s home after police told her she could not be inside her house while investigators were also inside.

‘She had no idea what they were asking about,’ Curl said. ‘She had no information about the disappearance or any idea why they were focusing on their house.’

The woman later told Curl that her adult son had been questioned by investigators and released. He was now staying with friends.

She declined to speak to the outlet, and her identity was concealed.

On Friday, the sheriff’s department said DNA recovered from Nancy’s property did not match her or anyone known to have been in close contact with her.

Investigators found several gloves between roughly two and 10 miles from Guthrie’s home.

The discovered items were sent to the same private lab in Florida that has been used throughout the investigation.

Nanos came under fire after claims surfaced that he was withholding evidence from the FBI.

He forcefully denied the allegations and called them ‘not even close to the truth,’ according to KVOA.

Doorbell camera videos released by the FBI from outside Nancy’s home showed a masked figure wearing black latex gloves, a backpack and what appeared to be a holstered gun.

Nanos said he had ‘no way’ of knowing whether the gloves were the same ones worn by the unidentified figure in the footage.

The FBI has described the suspect as being a man with ‘an average build’ and roughly 5-foot-9 or 5-foot-10. He was wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack in the clips released.
