Dominic and his wife, Andreahe told the newspaper that after the FBI photos were released, his face was compared to the masked man in the surveillance photos. People on the Internet also pointed to his drunken driving conviction and bar robbery arrest in 1999 as further evidence of his involvement.

“I wish I could come out and defend everyone who is falsely accused,” added Nanos.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not publicly disclose that anyone is being investigated except for those close to Nancy’s family, including her son-in-law, who was also investigated after an unconfirmed report that he was a person of interest before the investigation began.
“To clarify … the Guthrie family – including all siblings and their spouses – have been released as suspects in this case. The family has been cooperating with kindness and is a victim in this case,” Nanos said in a statement on February 16.
Nanos added, “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it’s cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”
On Tuesday, February 24, Savannah and her siblings raised the cash reward for Nancy’s return to $1 million as the search for the Guthrie matriarch nears its fourth week.
