A true-crime YouTuber is accused of transforming a street near the Nancy Guthrie search area into an impromptu livestream station, allegedly setting up traffic cones, a tripod and what authorities described as a “pee tent.”
Records obtained by INC News detail misdemeanor cases involving three men who were cited or charged after law enforcement encountered livestreamers near the Catalina Foothills area tied to Guthrie’s disappearance.
The FBI has said Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood on the evening of Jan. 31, 2026.
As the search unfolded, the case also attracted a wave of online sleuths, livestreamers and true-crime personalities, some of whom traveled to the neighborhood and broadcast from areas close to the search scene.

The group was looking for anything that might help locate Guthrie or identify the person or people responsible for her disappearance.

Alexander Zabel Jr. — “Criminal Network”
The most detailed accusations appear in the case involving Alexander Zabel Jr., known online as CriminalNetwork. According to a Pima County Sheriff’s Department citation and misdemeanor probable-cause statement, Zabel was charged with obstructing a public thoroughfare and public nuisance.
Deputies said they were called to the area at about 4:30 p.m. on May 26 for a reported traffic hazard and found Zabel allegedly seated in a lawn chair.
According to the probable-cause statement, Zabel deliberately placed traffic cones in the roadway beside his personal items, including a tripod he was using to livestream. Deputies also noted that Zabel’s YouTube broadcast appeared to show him in the road.
The same probable-cause statement says that on June 6, Zabel set up a “pee tent” on the road “insinuating that he was urinating” and creating an unpleasant environment for surrounding neighbors.
Deputies wrote that, because of the “sensitivity & proximity to the high-profile address,” Zabel created an offensive setting in the middle of the neighborhood and obstructed the free use of property.

Zabel was cited for two misdemeanor counts including obstructing a public thoroughfare and public nuisance, both marked as criminal offenses.
Zabel pleaded not guilty to both counts. James Pollack, community relations coordinator for the Arizona Superior Court in Pima County, said Zabel has a show-cause hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 21.

Troy Lewis Bradshaw — “DAA JUICE”
A second streamer, Troy Lewis Bradshaw, also known as “DAA JUICE”, was cited by PCSD for allegedly obstructing a public thoroughfare on June 4, according to a separate Arizona traffic ticket and complaint.
He was charged with “obstructing a public thoroughfare.” Unlike Zabel, Bradshaw’s court records provided to INC News did not include a narrative explaining exactly what deputies alleged he did to obstruct the roadway.
A June 16 minute entry shows Bradshaw pleaded not guilty to obstructing highway/public thoroughfare, first offense, with a fine or civil sanction listed at $282. Pollack told INC News that Bradshaw had a case management conference on Monday.

Damian Todd Enderle — “857 Tucson”
The third case involved Damian Todd Enderle, also known as “857 Tucson”, who was cited June 8 for public nuisance, according to a PCSD citation.
A June 30 minute entry shows the public nuisance charge was dismissed after the state moved to drop it. Pollack said Enderle does not have any upcoming court hearings scheduled.
