The person detained, who was not identified, is the second individual to be questioned in connection with the case and then released.

Sheriff Chris Nanos told ABC News no one is fully cleared until there’s an arrest. A man who identified himself as Carlos was detained and released earlier this week in Rio Rico, Arizona.

It was not immediately clear what led authorities to the home about two miles from where Nancy Guthrie lives but it’s within the radius where investigators have asked residents to check their home security systems for footage from Jan. 1 — a month before her abduction — to Feb. 2, the day after she was taken. Investigators have said they are interested in suspicious persons or vehicles that may have been caught on camera.
