A major development came on the night of February 13, when multiple agencies—including SWAT teams and forensic units—executed a search warrant at a property located roughly two miles from Guthrie’s home. The operation, which extended overnight, led to the temporary detention of three individuals and the seizure of a silver or gray Range Rover for examination.
Despite the scale of the response, officials clarified that the action was part of an ongoing investigation rather than a confirmed breakthrough. All individuals detained during the operation were later released, and no arrests have been made. Authorities emphasized that the search was driven by investigative leads that required follow-up, not by definitive evidence linking those individuals to the disappearance.
