The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is already catching heat over how it’s handled the Nancy Guthrie case, and now a social media post has made things worse. Late Thursday night, the department posted “Update: Nancy has been located,” referring to a completely different case involving an 82-year-old woman named Nancy Radakovich. The timing and wording immediately caused confusion online, with many people thinking it was tied to Guthrie’s disappearance.
At the same time, there’s actually a real development in the case. Evidence from inside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home has been sent to the FBI for advanced analysis including DNA and a human hair. The sample was transferred a couple days ago from a private lab working with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, and it’s now being run through newer, more advanced forensic testing to see if it can be tied to the individual(s) connected to her disappearance.
Of course this kind of process can take time, sometimes months, as investigators work to fully separate and interpret the sample but it's definitely one of the first major forensic steps we’ve seen so far.

An arrest has finally been made in the case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. d4vd, whose real name is David Burke, was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department in connection with her case, but, his lawyers say he's innocent.
Rivas was later found on September 8th, a day after she would have turned 15, inside the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke after it had been towed from the Hollywood Hills to an impound lot, where workers reported a strong odor coming from inside.
Authorities say the vehicle had
been sitting for some time before it was towed into evidence. Burke is currently being held while the case is reviewed by prosecutors.

Okay, this case involving a woman out of Indiana and Lindsey Buckingham was not the headline I expected to see.
54-year-old Michelle Dick was taken into custody Saturday night in Fort Wayne, but this actually started in Santa Monica. Back in late March, she allegedly approached Buckingham, threw some kind of substance on him, and damaged his vehicle before taking off. That incident is what set everything in motion and led to charges…this time.
But apparently, this had been going on for years, with Michelle Dick making repeated attempts to track him down, showing up near places connected to him, and making calls to authorities using his name. A restraining order was granted in 2024, but the contact kept going after that.
She is currently being held in the Allen County Jail in Indiana and is awaiting extradition back to California, where the case will move forward.
