Nancy Guthrie Update: Sheriff Speaks Out About the Case for the First Time in Weeks
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is ongoing, now more than 90 days since authorities say that she was abducted from her Arizona home.
In an interview with KVOA, Sheriff Chris Nanos spoke out for the first time in weeks.
"The reward money is still there-it's there for a reason. We think somebody out there knows something. We know they do. We know someone out there knows what happened. Call us," Nanos said.
New updates in the case have been sparse as investigators continue working through tips, leads, and evidence. In the middle of April, ABC News reported that the FBI had been sent some DNA evidence from Guthrie's home after it was released by a lab in Florida. The DNA, said to be a hair sample, will undergo advanced testing in hopes of finding a match within CODIS-the FBI's database that stores DNA profiles from past offenders.
While the news certainly renewed the public's interest in the case, the Pima County Sheriff's Department made it clear that the hair wasn't a new development.
"PCSD has worked with the FBI since the beginning of the Guthrie investigation," the statement, posted on X, read. "This is not new information. The private lab we utilize in Florida continues to share information with the FBI lab & other partner labs across the country. DNA analysis remains ongoing."
The statement marked the department's first public update in nearly a month. With few major developments announced publicly, Sheriff Nanos has scaled back media appearances and stopped holding regular press conferences about the case.
