Nancy Guthrie has been missing since late January, but a recent break in the case took place late last night.
A massive SWAT team carried out a top-secret operation in Tucson near Guthrie's residence. Three people were detained, and a fourth was reportedly shot.
Discussions with neighbors revealed how the person of interest shot himself after the law enforcement agencies asked him to surrender for interrogation. No other details were revealed, including his current status, which was speculated to be either critically injured or dead.
The FBI and the Sheriff's department carried out the raid in regard to the high-profile case, and they have chosen to remain silent with no discussions on what went on last night. A press conference will soon take place to reveal further updates, insiders mentioned.
Unidentified evidence in the form of DNA was collected, and the roads were blocked, leaving those in the neighborhood shocked and worried.
The case remains active as the authorities continue to search for evidence. Other reports are speaking about the vehicle of interest also being located.
