FBI seizes Range Rover from parking lot two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home: report
One person was detained and his gray Range Rover was seized during a late-night operation near Nancy Guthrie’s home Friday as three people were simultaneously taken into custody in connection with the grandmother’s disappearance in a SWAT bust, according to reports.
A swarm of investigators zeroed in on the SUV in a Culver’s parking lot in the Catalina Foothills — just two miles from Guthrie’s home, according to local outlet KGUN9.
The driver was taken in for questioning, but was later released after an interivew, sources told The Post.

Law enforcement was also seen taking pictures and searching the vehicle before ultimately towing it away.
The driver was pulled off the road for a traffic stop that officers made in connection to a simultaneous raid on a nearby home connected to the search for Guthrie, according to Fox.
A SWAT team detained at least three people Friday in connection with the kidnapping case.
Acting on a tip, took two men — and one of their mothers — into custody, though they were also released after interviews.

“Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case,” Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on X shortly before midnight local time (2 a.m. ET), after news reports emerged. “Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI, no additional information is currently available.”
A spokesperson for Culver’s said the owner-operated is “fully cooperating with authorities,” but could not share additional details.
“We currently have no information indicating whether this investigation is connected to the Nancy Guthrie case. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with the Guthrie family, and we continue to hope for her safe return,” a spokesperson for the fast food chain told The Post.
Earlier Friday, investigators recovered DNA evidence from somebody not known to be “in close” contact with Guthrie from her property.
The unidentified DNA was sent to a laboratory for analysis.

The 84-year-old — and mother to “Today” host Savannah Guthrie — has been missing since Jan. 31 when she was last seen in her Tucson home.
She was apparently forcibly removed from the house, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Multiple ransom notes have surfaced since she vanished at the hands of her self-proclaimed kidnappers.
The FBI on Thursday released a description of an armed person caught on Guthrie’s Nest camera luring at her front door.
The suspect is a man, approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and has an average build, according to the feds.
The FBI also doubled its reward to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie or her captor.
