As per Ruiz, investigators stated that they “are not yet done with Nancy’s home security video” and that “forensic analysis is still underway.” Furthermore, he mentioned that the spokesperson informed him that the DNA analysis is ongoing and has not reached a dead end.
Ruiz also said that when he inquired whether anyone had been ruled out, the spokesperson directed him to a prior statement made by Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos: “To be clear… the Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious, and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple… please, I’m begging you, the media, to honor your profession and report with some sense of compassion and professionalism.”

{{/usCountry}}Ruiz concluded his post by summarizing the investigators' perspective on the primary suspect in the case and encouraging anyone with relevant information to reach out to the FBI.
"The intruder has not yet been publicly identified. Current and former investigators tell me they’re still hopeful someone recognizes this guy. He may have changed his behavior (and/or appearance) after Nancy’s abduction on Feb. 1 and again after the FBI released her Nest video on Feb. 10. It remains unclear whether he acted alone. Anyone with information is urged to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.”
