Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos moved on Friday to shut down swirling online rumours in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, telling reporters he had not detained any new person of interest in Tucson and dismissing talk of a late‑night arrest with a single word: 'Nope.'
A flurry of speculative reports claimed a breakthrough in the search for 84-year-old Nancy, the mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, who was reported missing from her Tucson-area home on 1 February. The case is already highly charged, with doorbell camera footage showing a masked man at the front door and an FBI laboratory quietly working through DNA and a hair sample. Against that backdrop, any hint of movement is seized upon, especially when it appears to come from high-profile true-crime commentators.
