An Arizona delivery driver has addressed reporters after being questioned by authorities in connection with the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. The case, which remains under active investigation in Tucson, has drawn public attention as law enforcement continues searching for information about her whereabouts. Officials emphasize that the inquiry is ongoing and that no final conclusions have been reached.
Carlos Palazuelos, 36, said he was stopped by investigators while making deliveries on February 10 and later released without charges. Authorities have not identified him as a suspect. In public remarks, Palazuelos stated that he had no involvement in the disappearance and was unaware of the case prior to being approached. Law enforcement agencies have not publicly commented on specific details of his questioning but confirmed that interviews are part of routine investigative procedures.
The delivery platform associated with Palazuelos confirmed that it is cooperating with investigators and expressed support for the family during the search. According to statements, Palazuelos acknowledged he may have completed a delivery in the neighborhood around the time Nancy Guthrie was last seen, though he maintained that he had no further connection to the matter. Companies and agencies often provide logistical assistance in cases where timing and location details are relevant.
Federal authorities continue to share updates as leads develop. Investigators recently released images of an individual near the residence around the timeframe of the disappearance in hopes of generating additional tips. Officials have also noted receiving various reports related to the case, though verification efforts are ongoing. Family members have encouraged anyone with reliable information to contact the appropriate tip lines. Authorities reiterate that community cooperation can be critical while investigations remain active.
