Man Released After Being Questioned About Nancy Guthrie Disappearance: ‘I Didn’t Do Anything’

Police have released a man who had been detained in connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

The 84-year-old mother of the Today show host Savannah Guthrie has been missing since January 31. Police authorities in Arizona — who declared her disappearance a crime on February 2 — confirmed they detained an individual south of Tucson on Tuesday, February 10.

The man, identified only as Carlos, was taken into custody after a traffic stop and his home nearby in Rio Rico, near the Mexican border south of Tucson, Arizona, was also searched. But he was released on Wednesday, February 11, per The New York Times.

“I didn’t do anything. I hope they get the suspect, because I’m not it,” Carlos said, according to a video posted by the outlet. “They better do their job and find the suspect that did it so that they can clear my name.”

He told reporters that he didn’t know anything about Savannah or her mother and that police had asked “no questions.”
