The Pima County Sheriff’s Department detained an individual for questioning in connection with the Nancy Guthrie abduction, authorities confirmed on Tuesday evening. He was later released after questioning.
ABC News, one of the first outlets to report that the individual was in custody, said they were apprehended south of Tucson, Arizona by local authorities with help from the FBI.
The suspect was later interviewed by CNN affiliateKNXV. The man maintained “he didn’t even know who this woman was, that he works as a delivery driver.”
“I told them … I might have delivered a package to their house but I never kidnapped anybody,” he said.
The original report of his detainment, which was first published at 7:20 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, added that “law enforcement is preparing to search a location associated with the individual.”
Fox News reported that the individual was considered a “person of interest” in the abduction of the mother of NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie, co-host of “Today.”
