A veteran homicide prosecutor says the Nancy Guthrie case could still move forward even if her body is never recovered.
Speaking with journalist Brian Entin, Tad DiBiase—a prosecutor known for handling “no body” homicide cases—said a recovered body is always preferable evidence, but he believes the Guthrie case could still be successfully tried without one.
"It is always, always better to have a body, without a doubt," DiBiase told Entin. "Because even if you get remains, it tells you, 'this person left these remains here.'"
That said, DiBiase believes that the Guthrie case could be tried as a "no body" case successfully—that is, that a potential suspect could be found guilty without the body being recovered.
Investigators are still working through leads and piecing together evidence in the case in hopes of finding out who is responsible for Guthrie's disappearance.
The 84-year-old has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities believe that she was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night, but the exact details of what happened are still unclear.
After the case reached 100 days, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos spoke out about some of the latest updates in the case.
“It’s just not a detective goes out there, talks to somebody, and we can make an arrest,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Tucson’s KOLD-TV in an interview published on June 1. “This is a very sensitive case, but what really makes it prolonged is we do rely on labs.”
“If I were to say there’s a positive to this, it is that people are working, doing their best to stay within those rules so that they have that understanding that, look, nobody wants to arrest the wrong person,” Nanos continued. “We wanna make sure that DNA doesn’t just identify a suspect. It also exonerates those who are innocent.”
