Pima County Sheriff Hunts 5-Foot-10 Suspect in Tucson Sexual Assault as Guthrie Case Stays Separate

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 22

Summary

  • A predawn home invasion on West Vegas Drive near Tucson triggered a manhunt after an intruder sexually assaulted a woman, tried to burglarize the home and fled, with no arrest announced by Tuesday.
  • Pima County deputies said the suspect entered through an unlocked door around 2:40 a.m. Monday; he was described as Hispanic or White, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, thin, with gray in his beard and an oversized green shirt.
  • Sheriff Chris Nanos said there is nothing indicating a link to the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, whose case is being investigated by the sheriff's department and the FBI about 30 miles away.
  • That missing-person case remained active after authorities checked an anonymous tip about a shallow grave near the Nogales border in Mexico and did not find Guthrie.
  • Investigators are now asking nearby residents to review home or neighborhood surveillance footage and send tips through 911 or 88-CRIME.
