Frustration as sheriff’s division says FBI has demanded it maintain again particulars of Guthrie raid: Live updates

A SWAT operation descended near Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood as officials reportedly pulled three people from a home located 1.9 miles away from the missing 84-year-old’s house.

Law enforcement reportedly detained two men and a woman, believed to be one of their mothers, from the residence during a raid in the continued search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother.

Pima County SWAT surrounded the residence and began searching the home after the individuals were removed.

According to NewsNation, a traffic stop nearby is believed to be connected to the operation.

Officers blocked off the roadway just under two miles from Guthrie’s home, the outlet reported.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office also flew overhead on Friday afternoon, potentially a significant development in connection to a rescue operation.

As the aircraft was launched, a mobile command center was seen leaving the sheriff’s office. Sources told NewsNation that SWAT was activated at the same time.

No updates have been provided on Nancy Guthrie in nine hours, even after at least three people were taken into detention following two operations in Tucson.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on X at 11.49pm last night: ‘There is no press briefing scheduled for tonight regarding the Nancy Guthrie investigation. A written statement is forthcoming.’

The sheriff’s department is yet to comment on when the update can be expected, according to AZFamily.

Last night, a SWAT operation descended near Nancy’s neighborhood, with officials reportedly pulling three people from a home located 1.9 miles away.

Law enforcement reportedly detained two men and a woman – believed to be one of their mothers – from the residence during the raid.

During that operation, local authorities and the FBI also detained the driver of a gray Range Rover after a traffic stop, Fox News reported.

Marla Handler who lives near Nancy Guthrie’s home said it would be difficult to notice a kidnapping or disappearance in their neighborhood.

‘We have a lot of elderly people that live in this neighborhood,’ Handler told CNN.

‘The homes are not right next to each other… So it’s very difficult to see if there’s a disappearance, a kidnapping in one home, the next house would not even know about it.’

Handler added that, when looking for any useful footage to hand over to law enforcement, she couldn’t find anything despite having ‘very extensive security on our home as well as our street.’

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department clarified false reports of a local former county attorney’s alleged involvement in the search for Nancy Guthrie.

‘Reporting that current law enforcement activity is surrounding a home belonging to a former country attorney is NOT accurate,’ the department wrote on X.

Hours before SWAT raided a home less than two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home, a Pima County Sheriff’s Office surveillance plane was seen scoping the area.

The plane was tracked flying over the location of the massive raid earlier on Friday evening.

According to Fox News, the aircraft circled for around an hour before heading south.

Retired FBI agent Steve Moore told CNN that the overnight police presence at the home involved in a massive SWAT operation just minutes from Nancy Guthrie’s home suggests a ‘pretty good lead.’

Moore told the outlet that the operation appeared to be ‘investigation-driven rather than reactive,’ which may indicate law enforcement had prior information that they believe to be important.

‘When you get a line of 20 federal cars, plus all the equipment trucks, this was a preplanned operation,’ he said.

According to his experience, he believes investigators have information ‘important enough to get a warrant for, to get people’s hopes up for, to expend lots of manpower and emotional energy on.’

‘They must believe it’s a pretty good lead.’

The traffic stop that is believed to have contributed to the massive SWAT raid on Friday evening just minutes from Nancy Guthrie’s home resulted in one man being detained.

A man was detained in the traffic stop late on Friday evening. Sources told Fox News that the man is currently being questioned in connection with the warrant served at the home nearby.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released limited information concerning the massive SWAT raid less than two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home.

After three were detained on Friday evening and no update on Guthrie was made, the sheriff’s department said on X: ‘Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case.’

‘Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI – no additional information is currently available,’ the statement concluded.

FBI officials told CNN that there was no current update on Guthrie and no suspect had yet been identified.

A gray Range Rover was marked by FBI agents in a parking lot as a potential connection to the massive operation in Tucson in the search for Nancy Guthrie.

Law enforcement vehicles, including Pima County officers, parked either side of the vehicle.

Two officers stood with the vehicle before an FBI agent began photographing the exterior of the car and covered the license plate.

The vehicle’s connection in the search for Guthrie and the FBI raid on Friday night remains unclear.

The home raided on Friday night by armored SWAT vehicles in the search for Nancy Guthrie has been revealed.

Just 1.9 miles and five minutes from Guthrie’s home, three people were detained after a warrant was served.

The three bedroom, two bathroom residence they were pulled from lies on North Camino de Michael road in Tucson.

Armored SWAT trucks began leaving the scene as other law enforcement vehicles descended onto the blocked off area following a massive raid in the search for Nancy Guthrie.

Law enforcement activity increased at the site Friday night as more vehicles arrived including units believed to be federal agents.

Marked sheriff’s cars were followed by a federal evidence truck, according to CNN. A SWAT vehicle left earlier, while forensic teams also reportedly left the area.

FBI officials told CNN that Nancy Guthrie has not yet been located, and her abductor has not yet been identified, following a massive SWAT raid just miles away from Guthrie’s home.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the operation was part of investigators ‘actively working a lead,’ AZ Family reported.

At least one man and one woman, believed to be mother and son, were pulled from inside the property during the operation.

Three suspects have been detained, according to Fox News.
