‘Three detained’ as cops swoop in huge SWAT raid on property two miles from missing Nancy Guthrie’s home

Three individuals have been detained during a SWAT operation just 1.9 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson, Arizona home, according to reports. 

A man and a woman were pulled from a house in Marana by Pima County Sheriff’s SWAT team in a huge raid Friday night as the search for Nancy Guthrie intensified, Fox News reports.

According to TMZ, the individuals appeared to be a mother and son. 

The second man was detained at a traffic stop nearby, per NewsNation. 

Pima County Sheriff Chamonis Valdez told the Daily Mail that the raid was in connection with the Guthrie case.

The home in question is the only location police are focusing on as of tonight. 

The Pima County Police Department released a statement late on Friday. 

‘Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case,’ it read. 

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

A source told Fox News that a judge issued a warrant to enter the home, though it remains unclear at this time if the detained individuals are suspects in the missing 84-year-old’s disappearance.

The raid saw officers surround the property and pull the two detainees from the residence, NewsNation reported.

FBI officials told CNN Nancy Guthrie has yet to be located and her abductor has not been identified.

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

Roughly two dozen officers, including FBI officials, were seen standing near blocked–off streets in the pouring rain, as one Pima County Sheriff’s Office plane was spotted flying over the Tucson neighborhood.

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. SWAT were seen leaving the scene earlier, while forensic teams remain in the area.

Some earlier reports suggested the home belonged to a former county attorney. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department clarified that these claims were ‘not accurate.’

The SWAT team was reportedly activated around the same time that the aircraft was launched. 

This comes just days after the FBI asked for the public’s assistance in identifying a masked figure seen near Guthrie’s home before she disappeared. 

Doorbell camera images of the individual showed the masked man wearing a black jacket, a backpack and gloves.

Residents within a two-mile radius of Guthrie were asked to check their doorbell and security camera footage dating back to the beginning of January.  

Guthrie was last seen entering her home in Tucson on the evening of January 31 after having dinner with her daughter, Annie, son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, and her grandchildren.

The next morning, she was reported missing when she failed to attend a virtual church service with friends, Nanos said.

On Friday, investigators discovered that DNA found on Nancy’s property during the investigation did not belong to her family or anyone ‘close’ to her. 

‘DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her have been collected from the property,’ the sheriff’s department said, adding that investigators are working to identify who it belongs to and are not disclosing where it was found.

Investigators also found several gloves, ranging from roughly two to 10 miles away from Nancy’s home.

Officials described the suspect as a 5-foot-9-inch or 5-foot-10-inch male with an average build. 

The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for information in Guthrie’s case. 

The Daily Mail contacted the Pima County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
