On Feb. 16, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said “The Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects.”

One of the biggest moments in the case came on Feb. 10, when authorities released surveillance photos and video footage of a masked man carrying a gun on Nancy’s front porch on Feb. 1.

The FBI Phoenix office described the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack” that may have been purchased at Walmart.

The identification of the backpack is one of the most promising leads authorities have had so far, said Nanos.
