Volunteers scour the desert for Nancy Guthrie despite authorities urging them to stop
Pima County officials stress professional coordination of searches to protect evidence and support investigators amid over 20,000 tips in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
- Pima County Sheriff’s Department told the public to give investigators space and said volunteer work is best left to professionals, as the FBI assists and Guthrie’s house is watched around the clock.
- The disappearance three weeks ago prompted volunteers including Lupita Tello to post flyers and plan outreach in Nogales, Mexico, after being contacted by a friend of Guthrie’s family.
- Evidence shows drops of Guthrie’s blood on the front porch and the FBI-released surveillance of a masked man, while the black backpack found by volunteers did not match the video or provide viable leads.
- Authorities say the investigation now involves several hundred people and more than 20,000 tips, and officials enacted a temporary one-way flow on the road while a memorial outside Guthrie’s home grows.
- Experts warned untrained volunteers may contaminate evidence, and the agency said coordination, background checks, and training are essential to avoid hampering the investigation.
