FBI agents in Tucson are examining a fresh account from Nancy Guthrie's neighbour Jeff Lamie after he said his dogs were unusually restless in the early hours of 1 February and on 11 January. Lamie lives four houses down from the missing 84 year old's home in the Catalina Foothills, and the two dates are now under scrutiny in the investigation.
Guthrie was reported missing after she failed to attend a church livestream gathering at a friend's home, and the case has since hardened into an active criminal inquiry, with neighbour recollections, doorbell footage and digital evidence pulling investigators back to the area around her house. Lamie's account, aired on Crime Stories with Nancy Grace on 23 March, proves nothing on its own and should be treated carefully, but detectives often return to details like this precisely because animals can register disturbance before the people around them understand what, if anything, has happened.
