Fresh questions have been raised in the Nancy Guthrie case after an anonymous source close to the investigation alleged that the law enforcement supervisor first on the scene at Guthrie's Tucson, Arizona, home on 1 February had never previously investigated a homicide. The claim, reported by NewsNation's Brian Entin and echoed in follow-up coverage on 2 April, centres on the earliest hours of an inquiry into the disappearance of Guthrie, 84, whose case remains unsolved.
Guthrie was last seen at her home on 31 January and was reported missing the following day, with authorities later saying they believed she had been kidnapped, abducted or otherwise taken against her will. Investigators found drops of blood on the front porch and several gloves around the property, but they were unable to connect DNA evidence or those items to a suspect. The FBI later released surveillance footage showing a masked man at her doorstep on the night she vanished, though officials have disclosed little else in public.
