A man has been released after being questioned by the FBI regarding Nancy Guthrie’s ongoing disappearance, according to reports.
The New York Times reported that the man, who was only identified as Carlos, was released a few hours after he was detained at a traffic stop in Tucson. The man’s mother-in-law said her son was delivering food when he was detained, which happened around the time authorities broke down her door and searched her home.
“I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it,” Carlos told reporters outside of his mother-in-law’s home in Rio Rico.
The man was detained hours after the FBI released footage and surveillance stills of someone outside of Guthrie’s home around the time she vanished on January 31. Alarms were raised the following morning, when Guthrie failed to arrive at a friend’s home to watch virtual church services.
In addition to locating Guthrie, police are investigating two ransom notes that were reportedly sent to local news outlets. One of the notes demanded millions in Bitcoin in exchange for Guthrie’s return.
As of Wednesday, officials have not named any suspects, and no arrests have been made.
