The search for Nancy Guthrie is starting to heat up.

On Tuesday, Arizona authorities detained a man as part of their investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

However, after interviewing the man, the authorities released him.

The New York Post reported more details on the recent detention of the delivery driver:

The Arizona DoorDash driver who was detained by law enforcement Tuesday night in the search for Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper has been released after several hours in custody.

The newly freed man, identifying himself as a delivery driver named Carlos, expressed his frustration after authorities detained him in connection with the alleged kidnapping of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie — neither of whom he had ever heard of.

“They held me against my will,” Carlos Palazuelos, 36, told reporters outside his home. “They didn’t even read me my rights until two hours later.”

The man claims his wrists were left swollen from the handcuffs.

“What the f–k am I doing here? I didn’t do anything, to be honest, I’m innocent,” he recalled.

The man says he was riding in a car with his wife when they noticed law enforcement vehicles trailing them. They decided to pull over, and Carlos hopped out of the car.

Palazuelos said he works in Tucson for a parcel delivery service, but doesn’t recall encountering Guthrie, who was reported missing on Feb. 1.

“I told them, I work in Tucson for GLS, I might have delivered a package to her house but I never kidnapped anybody,” he told ABC15. “They hold me from 4 p.m. ’til now.”

Carlos’ mother also spoke to the press:

CNN reported the FBI currently has more than one person of interest:

FBI agents are looking at more than one individual as a “person of interest” in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, told Fox News last night.

“We are looking at people who, as we say, are persons of interest,” Patel said.

Patel did not elaborate on who might be under suspicion, but said authorities were undergoing a process to eliminate anyone who may not actually be involved.

Patel said the FBI’s outreach to the private sector has shown “there might be persons of interest in and around the area related to this event.”

The FBI’s first priority is finding Guthrie, Patel said, and “right behind that is to find anyone and any others involved in this kidnapping case to make sure they’re brought to justice.”
