Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has just confirmed all of Nancy Guthrie‘s family members have been cleared as possible suspects in her disappearance.

Nanos released a statement Monday, saying, “To be clear … the Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case.”

He continued … “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.”

This development comes as investigators are analyzing DNA from a glove found near Nancy’s home. The glove appears to match those worn by the alleged assailant shown on surveillance video from the day of Nancy’s abduction.

As we reported … today we received a 4th email from the man claiming to know who kidnapped Nancy. He once again demanded $50,000 in bitcoin up front in return for the information.
