Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has prompted a significant investigation involving multiple searches of properties linked to her and her family. Recent developments have indicated that authorities are expanding their search efforts beyond immediate family homes.
New Developments in Nancy Guthrie’s Case
On Friday night, authorities conducted a notable search of a residence in Rio Rico, Arizona. This location, situated near the Mexico border, is a departure from previous investigations that focused solely on properties owned by Nancy and her eldest daughter, Annie Guthrie.
Details of the Search
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, in coordination with the FBI, executed a court-approved search of a home where Carlos Palazuelos was staying. Palazuelos had recently been detained for questioning concerning Guthrie’s disappearance. Officials spent several hours at the site before leaving early Wednesday morning.
Previous Searches at Family Properties
Prior to the Rio Rico search, authorities focused their efforts on Nancy Guthrie’s residence and Annie Guthrie’s home:
- Nancy Guthrie’s Home:
- First searched on February 1, after she missed a scheduled church service.
- A second search took place on February 6, involving thorough investigation including the roof.
- Annie Guthrie’s Home:
- Initially searched on February 4, three days into the investigation.
- A follow-up search was conducted on February 7.
As authorities continue their investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s alleged kidnapper, the focus on suspects like Palazuelos indicates the complexity of the case. The community and law enforcement remain vigilant, hoping for developments that could shed light on her whereabouts.
