An active SWAT operation is unfolding in Pima County, Arizona, near the neighborhood where Nancy Guthrie disappeared nearly two weeks ago, according to NewsNation.
The operation is centered roughly two miles from Guthrie’s home, according to multiple news reports late Friday. Guthrie, 84, is the mother of Savannah Guthrie and has been missing for 13 days in a case that has drawn national attention.
According to the report, SWAT officers surrounded a home, ordered two people outside, and both individuals complied. Law enforcement is now searching the residence. Police have blocked off the surrounding area, which NewsNation and CNN reported is approximately 2 miles from Guthrie’s home.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has previously said evidence suggests Guthrie did not leave “on her own.” On Friday, a sheriff’s department aircraft was observed in the air around the same time a mobile command center was seen leaving the department, according to NewsNation.
The development comes as TMZ reported receiving a new email from a man claiming to know the identity of Guthrie’s kidnapper, though authorities have not confirmed the claims. Officials have not yet said whether the SWAT activity is directly linked to Guthrie’s disappearance.
