TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos now says none of Nancy Guthrie’s family are considered suspects in the case.
“Not one single person in the family is a suspect,” Sheriff Nanos told 13 News Monday, February 16.
He added “So I am telling everyone effective today you guys (media) need to knock it off, quit. People are hurting. They are victims. I am saying they are clear. We have cleared them.”
Nanos tells 13 News the family has been “100% cooperative” and family members were ruled out as suspects “in the first few days.”
“We talked to them, we took their phones, we took their computers. I mean, we did everything. We processed their vehicles, we processed their homes. They have been really. They’re victims,” Nanos said.
Sheriff Nanos says confirmed investigators recovered DNA from inside the house and that the entire house was blue-lighted, which is technology used to detect any DNA.
The Sheriff added that communication released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department is shared with the FBI, and the FBI shares their communication with the PCSD.
