An unsettling 911 call was made just three miles from Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home on the night she went missing.

Jim Moret, chief correspondent of Inside Edition, reported on the potential lead on Wednesday, February 25, revealing, "A police dispatcher sent out an alert about a woman hanging out of the window of a car, and she was screaming."

However, local Tucson, Ariz., journalist Jacob Owens took to X on Thursday to divulge that Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed "the lead was investigated and determined to be unrelated to Guthrie's disappearance."

Nancy Guthrie's blood was found on her front porch.

Nancy was last seen by family members of the evening of January 31, and investigators believe she is the victim of a "targeted kidnapping." A trail of blood confirmed to be Nancy's was notably found on her front porch.

Since her disappearance, the FBI has released surveillance footage of a masked suspect seemingly tampering with her doorbell camera, shared a description of the intruder and revealed they found DNA evidence at the scene.

While the DNA discovery could potentially lead to an arrest, the sheriff said what they have contains genetic material from more than one person, meaning it will be difficult to analyze and could take as long as "a year" to get results.
