A lot of activity unfolding as we speak tonight.

Participle clauses

Deputies took that man into custody, calling him a person of interest during a traffic stop in Rio Rico, which is about 20 minutes north of the border.

And this is all unfolding hours after detectives release this new surveillance footage of a man with a gun, wearing a mask and gloves, tampering with Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera the morning of her abduction.

Our true crime correspondent Brianna Whitney is live tonight in Tucson.

Things are progressing rapid fire right now.

It feels every hour that we're learning something new in the investigation as it pertains to this person that was detained for questioning in the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

I can confirm from my vantage point here at the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Just a bit ago, their command post got back as well as a Marana police truck that was with it.

Those are all agencies believed to be part of this effort.

I want to show you video from Green Valley tonight.

This is where a bunch of these media or these law enforcement agencies were staging together as part of this kind of multi agency effort to detain this person we know happening right now.

There is a court authorized search of a home in Rio Rico.

Two sources confirm that this is the home of the person who was detained in questioning in the investigation that is happening now as we speak.

We also have the FBI director, Kash Patel, confirming tonight that they have multiple persons of interest.

Again, one person detained in custody for questioning tonight.

But they are looking at multiple persons of interest in this investigation.

Let's take it back to what happened earlier today with the surveillance video that was released.

That chilling video showing a masked person coming up to the door.

The surveillance video finally able to come off of that Google Nest camera.

They had been working for over a week to forensically retrieve that video.

He's kind of, you know, bends over, slumped, weird, getting up to that front porch.

He kind of waves that in the camera before disabling and disarming that camera as well.

You have to hope and possibly believe that getting that surveillance video out there in those pictures, they were crystal clear, helped in getting to where we are tonight.

Just hours later, a person detained in custody being questioned tonight.

That is not the only investigative effort that's happening in Rio Rico.

As you guys mentioned earlier in the show.

I want to show you some video as well from Annie Guthrie's neighborhood.

Not too long after that surveillance video was released, both the FBI and sheriff's deputies were back in Annie's neighborhood, going door to door, talking to neighbors about, you know, what did they see?

Is there any more that they could provide?

We don't know why the investigators went back to Annie Guthrie's neighborhood.

They had conducted some other investigative efforts at the house as well.

Just day before that, they were taking pictures inside.

So there has been law enforcement activity there, too.

But the crux of it tonight happening south of Tucson in Rio Rico as they continue to do a search of this home believed to be of the person who was detained for questioning in the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

Tonight, we're still working to learn more.

It feels like we're going to learn even more as the night unfolds about this investigation.

I think the most important thing, though is that not only do we know that there's somebody in custody tonight and they are trying to get more information out of them, but.

We don't know if this person that's in custody is the same person that's on the surveillance video.

We also don't know if this person's related to the alleged ransom note.

We can confirm at one point today at 5pm there was money that was put into that bitcoin link.

It was a small amount and that was believed to be in so we could communicate with the sender.

We don't know if this person who's in custody right now is related to that or is the person that is on camera in that surveillance video because they're looking at multiple persons of interest.

But more importantly than anything, we still don't know the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie tonight.

That is something that everybody is eagerly awaiting.

And of course, as we get more information and if authorities know, we will bring you the very latest on that.

But just because somebody is in custody does not mean that we have any new concrete details as of now on Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts.

But of course, we're on the ground here monitoring in Tucson.

We've got crews spread out across the Southern Arizona area as we continue to follow this investigation into the night.

But certainly so much has unfolded in a very short amount of time, you guys, and

I don't think that it's over for tonight as we continue on learning more about this person who was detained and where the Nancy Guthrie investigation stands.

Certainly not, Brianna. There is quite a flurry of activity.

We do have a crew with our CNN affiliate down in Rio Rico and we're working to flip some of that interview they had with a woman who said it is her house that is being searched actively right now by detectives.

She said it was her son in law, it was her daughter's vehicle that was pulled over, her son in law detained and then her son was inside, she said, playing Nintendo.

When detectives went in, brought him out in handcuffs.

So that sounds like a secondary person who has been detained tonight.

But then when they asked her, you know, did you see the surveillance footage?

Does that look like anyone in your family?

She said, my son doesn't have any of those clothes.

But she kind of came home as this was all unfolding at a home in Rio Rico again an hour south of Tucson, 20 minutes north of the border.

But Brian, I know Director, FBI Director Kash Patel is in Tucson and he said earlier people of interest, persons of interest, multiple people.

So underscoring not just one human who we saw in that surveillance footage.

And I think that that's something of note tonight.

For the last 10 days we've all been wondering whether or not, you know, this was a one person job or not.

As I, as I'm answering your question, Nicole, I can see the SWAT vehicle has just come back here in the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

So as I'm answering your question, that's coming back here as we know, Marana police, and then the other command posts were coming in just a few minutes ago.

So now that that has arrived back here, possibly part of the investigation.

yeah, we don't, we don't know exactly who is what in terms of if it's the person in the video or not.

But I think at this point you can kind of decipher from what Kash Patel is saying that there's probably going to be multiple people detained probably in a very short amount of time.

So if one at least confirmed tonight, possibly another, we're hearing more from CNN on that.

And so we'll learn a little bit more if there's, there's other detainments happening tonight.

But yeah, as this unfolds, I think we're going to see more than one.

I mean, these are some questions that, that are serious in this investigation.

The hard part about all of this though is Huge updates in the case.

I mean, we still don't know where she is, and that is desperate on everybody's mind.

So we're hoping to hear more from authorities as soon as possible.

Yeah, that is certainly one of the ongoing questions.

Brianna, as we continue talking to you, I believe we can take a live look at the scene in Rio Rico tonight, about an hour south of your location.

Brianna, it certainly seemed like all day something was boiling up.
