Nancy Guthrie Breaking Update: Authorities on Scene After Bones Found 15 Miles From Her Home
On Thursday, May 7, authorities arrived at an area about 15 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home after a YouTube livestreamer in the area found what appeared to be a bone.
According to Fox News Digital's Mike Ruiz, the bone was, in fact, human, but was determined to be "prehistoric."
"The bone found near Craycroft and River was determined to be human. This will be a prehistoric anthropological investigation. The University of Arizona's Anthropology Department and the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner assisted. This is not a criminal investigation," read a statement from the Tucson police department.

Many social media users were curious about the bone and wondered if it could have been connected to the Guthrie case. About 10 minutes after Ruiz reported that authorities had arrived on the scene, yellow tape was put up to secure a perimeter. Just a few minutes later, however, Ruiz reported that the bone was unrelated to the Guthrie case.
Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Investigators believe that she was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills of Arizona, about six miles north east of Tucson.
In a recent interview with KVOA, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared an update on the case.
"The reward money is still there-it's there for a reason. We think somebody out there knows something. We know they do. We know someone out there knows what happened. Call us," Nanos said.
Anyone with information about Guthrie's whereabouts or the person or persons responsible for her disappearance are asked to call the FBI (1-800-CALL-FBI).
