Person Released After Questioning as Search for Nancy Guthrie Intensifies

The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues to unfold, as authorities confirmed that a person detained for questioning has now been released without charges.

Law enforcement temporarily took the individual into custody following a traffic stop connected to the ongoing case. After hours of questioning, officials determined there was insufficient evidence to hold the person further. While the release marks a development, investigators emphasized that the case remains active and far from resolved.

Meanwhile, search efforts continue across parts of Arizona, where officers have executed court-authorized searches and followed multiple leads. Surveillance footage and tips from the public are still being reviewed as authorities work around the clock to locate Guthrie.

Family members remain hopeful, expressing gratitude for the public’s support and urging anyone with information to come forward. Officials stress that releasing the individual does not rule out other persons of interest and that every possible lead is being pursued.

As the days pass, the urgency surrounding the search grows. The community watches closely, hoping for answers — and above all, for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.
