Authorities in Pima County, Arizona, are dismissing claims from a viral 911 call which suggests that a ski mask matching the description of a potential suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie was found in an alley. The call, which has circulated widely on social media, included audio from dispatch reporting that a ski mask was discovered near Guthrie's home in Ajo, approximately 135 miles from Tucson. The dispatcher referenced the mask as resembling one worn by the suspect in the ongoing case, raising public interest as searches continue for the missing 84-year-old woman.

However, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office quickly countered this claim, stating they have no records or acknowledgment of such an item being discovered. A spokesperson for the Sheriff's Department informed Fox News Digital that they were "not advised of anything like that," and thus the information could not be confirmed. This clarification aims to mitigate any misinformation that may be spreading regarding the investigation, which has already garnered significant media attention.

The ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has become a media focal point, especially as conflicting reports like these can sometimes hinder the efforts of law enforcement. With authorities urging the public to rely on confirmed information, the Sheriff's Office moves to maintain the integrity of the investigation, ensuring that any leads or evidence are properly validated before being shared with the community. As they continue their search for Nancy Guthrie, the community's cooperation and vigilance remain essential to finding her safely.
