Federal agents in Arizona may have snagged another crucial lead in the search for Nancy Guthrie … because law enforcement was seen investigating a potential vehicle of interest at a Tucson restaurant near her home Friday night.
Around 11 PM local time Friday, reporters spotted a swarm of FBI agents and Pima County Sheriff’s deputies descending on a home near East Orange Grove Road and North First Avenue … but that wasn’t the only hotspot, as investigators were also focused on a nearby Culver’s where a silver Range Rover SUV appeared to be a key interest.
According to online video, law enforcement investigated the vehicle and eventually towed it away. Sources tell Fox News Digital that one man was detained following a traffic stop involving the vehicle, confirming that the stop is connected to a search warrant served at a home near Nancy Guthrie’s residence.
It’s unclear what investigators are specifically searching for within the vehicle, as they have taken measures to cover their inspection from cameras with a yellow sheet. Notably, this Culver’s location is just 2 miles away from the confirmed activity tied to the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

Fox News is reporting that at least three people have been detained Friday evening in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to a local law enforcement source.
A resident told News 4 Tucson that she witnessed three individuals being detained during this SWAT operation, and according to an unconfirmed report by a neighbor and outlets at the scene, another person had shot himself in the head during the interaction.
When we asked the Pima County Sheriff PIO about this detail, their response was “We cannot confirm anything at this time.”

As previously reported, NewsNation‘s Brian Entin first reported that their crew captured video of officers escorting a man and woman from a home located about 2 miles from Nancy’s residence. There are reportedly about 2 dozen officers on the scene … including FBI agents.
While authorities are remaining silent on confirming any details, reporters on-site are covering this operation piece by piece.
