Moms' Volunteer Group From Mexico Joins Search for Nancy Guthrie
Volunteers found a backpack near Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home but Pima County Sheriff says it is unrelated and contained a minor's ID, not linked to her disappearance.
- Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed Monday the backpack found by a local Arizona search party was quickly handed to authorities and is unrelated to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since February 1 and was last seen January 31 after being dropped off at her Tucson, Arizona home.
- Volunteer groups gathered in a Hobby Lobby parking lot to begin searching near Guthrie's home, while PCSD placed barricades Saturday at the Catalina Foothills Estates Neighborhood Association's request and investigators searched nearby properties Sunday.
- Investigators said the backpack appears to have been outdoors for longer than 3 weeks, contains a minor's ID, and is not a viable lead while follow-ups continue.
- Authorities confirmed `mixed` DNA at Guthrie's home, and the FBI released surveillance footage earlier this month showing a suspect in all-black with a ski mask carrying a backpack.
