Police return to Guthrie's property with yellow tape up
According to an X post from Brian Entin, Senior National Correspondent on News Nation, police returned to the scene on February 4. They replaced crime scene tape and resumed a concentrated law enforcement presence at Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson.
A video shared by Entin showed crime scene yellow tape being put up once again at Nancy Guthrie's house. K 13 reported that police vehicles, forensic teams and canine units were on site as officials combed the property for additional clues.
This comes a day after Nanos stated that the property had been processed and returned to the family. Authorities previously declared the residence a crime scene after they found DNA evidence that confirmed it belonged to Nancy Guthrie.
Investigators have also noted that her cellphone, wallet and vehicle were left at the property, leading to the conclusion that Nancy did not leave her home voluntarily.
