24 Feb
Summary
- Sheriff Nanos states doorbell images lack date/time stamps.
- Suspect description includes height and specific backpack model.
- The investigation is ongoing with over 13,000 public tips received.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has publicly addressed recent media reports concerning doorbell camera footage in the Nancy Guthrie case. He firmly stated that claims suggesting the suspect visited the home on different days are "purely speculative" due to the absence of date or time stamps on the released images.
Sheriff Nanos underscored that the ongoing criminal investigation will be guided by verifiable evidence and established facts. He cautioned against conclusions drawn from speculation without factual support, emphasizing that such claims do not advance the investigative process.
Authorities previously confirmed the suspect's height as approximately 5'9"-5'10" and identified the backpack as a black, 25-liter 'Ozark Trail Hiker Pack.' The FBI has gathered over 13,000 public tips since February 1, 2026, and the reward for information has been increased to $100,000.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the evening of January 31, 2026. She was reported missing by her family late midday on Sunday, February 2, 2026, after failing to attend church. The investigation is active and ongoing.
