Experts Say Vetting Tips in the Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Is a Huge but Vital Task
More than 31,000 tips have been received by the FBI and local authorities since Feb. 1, with experts emphasizing careful screening to identify credible leads.
- After the FBI released porch footage, authorities say they received more than 13,000 tips since Feb. 1, with the sheriff's department taking over 18,000 calls.
- A porch camera recorded a masked figure with a backpack hours before her family knew she was gone, prompting a public plea by the FBI, which identified the backpack and released images of the suspect.
- On Thursday, the FBI said agents and analysts are screening tips around the clock to identify credible leads, with Gilbertson noting some tips include bizarre claims that are not passed along.
- Despite the surge in tips, the Arizona sheriff's department has not said whether leads tied to videos have advanced the investigation, even as several hundred detectives and agents canvass neighborhoods.
- Historical examples show public tips can be decisive, like the 1995 identification of Ted Kaczynski and nearly 40,000 tips after the 2022 Idaho murders, experts say.
