A former FBI agent has suggested a possible connection between the abduction of Nancy Guthrie and recent arrests in Arizona, although the nature of the link is unclear. Some reports indicate the agent has also floated connections to other cases, including a teen home invasion and a theft ring, while others mention a vacant house in Guthrie's neighborhood as a potential hideout. An Arizona man detained in a SWAT operation has denied any involvement in Guthrie's abduction.
