Person detained for questioning released in Nancy Guthrie disappearance case: Updates from Arizona

Описание: Law enforcement have released a man they held for questioning in connection with the case investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "TODAY" show host Savannah Guthrie, multiple outlets report.

The individual, whose identity was not released by law enforcement, was brought in for questioning after he was pulled over at a traffic stop Tuesday night. The stop happened in Rio Rico, a small town about an hour's drive south of Tucson, near the U.S. and Mexico border.

"The subject is currently being questioned in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation," officials with the Pima County Sheriff's Office said in a statement at the time.

CNN and NBC have both reported that the man was released without being charged, citing people familiar with the investigation.

The sheriff's office said it was also conducting a court-authorized search Tuesday night in Rio Rico, located about an hours south of Tucson, alongside the FBI’s Evidence Response Team. That search was expected to take several hours.

The detention and subsequent release of the man happened just hours after authorities released new footage that appeared to show an armed individual, who reportedly tampered with the surveillance camera at Nancy Guthrie's home on the morning of her disappearance.

The collection of photos and videos released Tuesday afternoon appears to show a person putting their hand in front of the door cam at Nancy Guthrie's house, then grabbing some kind of plant from the front yard and sticking it in front of the lens, presumably to block the view.
