Three months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared, a true crime streamer found unrelated human remains 7 miles from her house.
The Tucson Police Department confirmed a human bone that was found near North Craycroft Road and East River Road, but quickly determined it was possibly "prehistoric" in nature. Police responded on May 7 at 10 a.m. local time.
"This will be a prehistoric anthropological investigation," said James Horton, a spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department. "This is not a criminal investigation."
Tucson police were assisted by the University of Arizona's Anthropology Department and the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, Horton said.
The bone was found by a streamer that runs a YouTube channel called A.J.DoubleU News. The discovery came just as the investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Guthrie surpassed the three-month mark. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said the investigation remains active.
