A location in Rio Rico, Arizona, is the subject of a “court-authorized search” in relation to the Nancy Guthrie abduction investigation.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared a statement with Us Weekly in the late hours of Tuesday, February 10, that confirmed that the search was “assisted by the FBI’s Evidence Response Team.”
The statement continued, “This operation is expected to last several hours. No further details at this time.”
Rio Rico is roughly 60 miles south of the Catalina Foothills, where Savannah Guthrie’s mom, 84, resides and was last seen. Rio Rico is also just north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The search was revealed just hours after the Sheriff’s department confirmed that a person was detained in connection with Nancy’s disappearance. Sheriff Chris Nanos shared via an X post, “Earlier today, Pima County Sheriff’s Department deputies detained a subject during a traffic stop south of Tucson.”
The statement continued, “The subject is currently being questioned in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation.”
Brian Entin, a senior national correspondent with News Nation, posted via X in light of the Rio Rico search, “Just spoke with the mother-in-law of the man who is detained. She owns the house and says there’s an ongoing search warrant and they took all of their electronic devices. She insists her son-in-law is not involved.”
An additional X post from Entin, 40, claimed that he had also learned via the detained subject’s “family” that the subject “was delivering DoorDash when he was pulled over.”
Authorities have not confirmed any details regarding the identity of the detained individual, including the person’s gender.
Us Weekly has also reached out to the FBI for comment.
News of the detainment arrived just hours after the FBI released black-and-white photos and surveillance footage from Nancy’s home that showed a masked subject with an apparent stored gun in their waistband. The person appeared to have been covering the lens of a camera installed beside the front door.
FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the footage in a statement via X at the time, writing, “New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie. Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.”
The statement continued, “Working with our partners — as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”
Savannah, 54, shared the FBI’s masked-subject photos via her Instagram on Tuesday alongside a caption that read, “We believe she is still alive. Bring her home. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department 520-351-4900.”
Her husband, Michael Feldman, also shared the images via Instagram captioning them, “Someone out there may recognize this person. Please help us. Bring her home.”
Nancy was reported missing by a family member on February 1. She was last seen one day prior by Savannah’s sister, Annie Guthrie, after she and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, dropped Nancy home following a family dinner.
