Nancy Guthrie: Activity outside Catalina’s home as PCSD sergeant talks backpack clue; “What happened?”

Private investigative reporter Jonathan Lee Riches reported on social media that people from different states were traveling to Catalina to search for Nancy Guthrie. Riches has been covering developments in the case for the past three weeks.

Riches reports that a group of people arrived at Nancy Guthrie’s address early Tuesday with metal detectors. They walked to Nancy Guthrie’s door and conducted an extensive search of the home.

Riches also shared a photo of a searcher who was allegedly from california and “signed a contract with ABC News.” Ht.com cannot independently verify this information. Photos shared by Riches taken from the street outside the home showed at least seven to 10 people, either searchers or reporters. There are also many vehicles parked.

A key clue in the investigation is door camera footage from suspect Nancy Guthrie’s home the night she disappeared. Detectives have been trying to identify the masked suspect using clues about his appearance. The backpack the male suspect was carrying was a major clue along with the black gloves he was wearing.

“We now understand that it may not have been purchased from Walmart,” Nanos told NBC’s Liz Kreutz. “This new backpack is exclusive to Walmart, but who’s to say I didn’t purchase it and put it on eBay? … That’s what we’re looking at.”
