Live updates: Nancy Guthrie case suspect described as male with Ozark backpack, FBI reward grows
A winter weather system is expected to bring showers to Tucson and southwest Arizona today, according to the National Weather Service’s Tucson office, which could raise issues for law enforcement in their search for evidence related to the dissapearance of Nancy Guthrie.
About a quarter- to a half-inch of rain is predicted in Tucson, with the potential for thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, the National Weather Service said.
Outdoor crime scenes are already at risk for “loss, contamination, and deleterious change of physical evidence in a relatively short period of time,” and environmental conditions like rain, snow or wind can exacerbate the issue, according to the National Institute of Justice.
“The FBI will continue our investigation regardless of weather conditions,” said FBI Phoenix Public Affairs Officer Connor Hagan, adding “Bringing Nancy home is our priority.”
