Update: The Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told NewsNation's Brian Entin the overnight commotion was them "just tracking down leads. No arrests. And no signs of Nancy." Original article below. Authorities may be a big step closer to finding out what happened to Nancy Guthrie. On Friday, Feb. 13, the Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed that there was DNA found in Nancy's home that did not match her or anyone in her close circle. A short while later, the Pima County Sheriff's Department along with SWAT went to a staging area with rumors of a manhunt circulating online. Then, police showed up at a home about two miles away from where Nancy lived. According to Entin, the movement was directly related to Nancy's disappearance. "It has been an insane four or five hours in Tucson," Entin said during an episode of his YouTube show. Authorities "detained a man and a woman from the house and they also detained a man from a traffic stop at a Culver's restaurant very close to that house. And I'm told that it's all connected. I'm told it could be a mother and son that were detained at the house and maybe a brother at the traffic stop," Entin continued. The vehicle that was being looked at in the Culver's parking lot was a Range Rover. It was later towed. Entin had a front row seat to the raid as he was able to get into the police perimeter before it was set. He said that authorities did not need to "use force" to enter the home and that the man and the woman "surrendered." Entin went on to say that authorities were at the home for hours collecting evidence and called it a "pretty big development."

This has not been confirmed. Meanwhile, the Pima County Sheriff's Department shared its own updates on social media. "There is no press briefing scheduled for tonight regarding the Nancy Guthrie investigation. A written statement is forthcoming," one message read. About an hour later, the department posted an update. "Reporting that current law enforcement activity is surrounding a home belonging to a former county attorney is NOT accurate," it read. After another hour had passed, a third update was posted. "Law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd & N First Ave related to the Guthrie case. Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI - no additional information is currently available," read the post.

Authorities have been working diligently to find her and to find the people responsible for her disappearance. It is unclear if the people who were detained on Friday night were suspected of being directly involved with Nancy's disappearance or if they could have been behind any of the emails sent to TMZ demanding money for information about Nancy or her would-be kidnappers. There's also a chance that the people detained don't have anything to do with the case. At the time of this writing, no arrests have been reported. READ NEXT: Who Is Tommaso Cioni?
