Nancy Guthrie Update: Sheriff Speaks Out Amid Reports of ‘Bombshell’ Development

Nanos said no one was detained, even as podcast reports and FBI DNA testing fueled speculation about a possible breakthrough in the case.

  • On Friday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied reports that authorities detained a new person of interest in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, responding to speculation with a single-word reply: "Nope."
  • Reports of a potential detention emerged on the 'Crime Stories' podcast, where host Nancy Grace and reporter David Mack discussed unspecified claims, with Grace describing the development as a "bombshell."
  • Following the statement, online commenters questioned Sheriff Nanos's credibility, with critics describing his communication style as dismissive and stating they do not "put an ounce of faith" in his words.
  • The Pima County Sheriff's Department previously faced criticism for a social media error posting "Update: Nancy has been located," which referred to missing 82-year-old Nancy Radakovich rather than Guthrie.
  • While the investigation continues, officials confirmed DNA results from Guthrie's home matched the 84-year-old, who has been missing since February 1, though no arrests have been announced.
