Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
Authorities in Southern Arizona detained a person
for questioning yesterday in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie,
the mother of today's show host Savannah Guthrie.
but NPR's Alana Wise reported appears that person has been released.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday night it had detained the person during a traffic stop south of Tucson and was conducting a court authorized search related to the investigation.
The Sheriff's Office hasn't commented since then.
Other outlets have reported that the person was released.
NPR has not independently confirmed this.
A New York Times reporter posted video on social media of the man who was detained.
He was speaking to reporters outside his home saying he is not the suspect,
and he hopes Guthrie is found safe.
Yesterday, the FBI released images and two short videos of a person outside Nancy Guthrie's home.
The person is wearing a mask, gloves and a backpack and carrying what appears to be a holstered gun.
