Police searched a home in Rio Rico, Arizona, this week as part of the investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. During the search, a woman named Josefina said officers detained her son-in-law, Carlos Palazuelos, while breaking down her door and seizing phones belonging to family members. She insists Carlos is innocent, saying he was working as a delivery driver with his family at the time and has no violent history. Josefina also rejected claims that surveillance images released by authorities show her son-in-law, saying the clothing and backpack seen in the footage do not match him.

Carlos later spoke to reporters after being released, saying he had nothing to do with the case and did not know Nancy Guthrie. Authorities have not confirmed whether he was the person of interest, and his release does not end the investigation. Nancy Guthrie, mother of television host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1 after investigators believe she was abducted from her Tucson home. Surveillance images show a masked person at her door, and a ransom demand in bitcoin was reportedly issued, though investigators say communication has since stopped. The search for Nancy continues as authorities analyze evidence, including vehicles connected to the case.
