A skeleton unearthed near the search site for missing Arizona resident Nancy Guthrie is believed to be up to 1,000 years old, according to experts. The discovery, made by a YouTuber, initially sparked interest as it was found just miles from Guthrie’s home. However, the remains are not linked to her disappearance.
The bone, found by Alec Wysopal, who runs the YouTube channel AJDoubleU News, was determined to belong to the Hohokam people, ancient ancestors of modern Native Americans in Arizona. The bone dates back to between 650 and 1250 A.D., as confirmed by James Watson, a bioarchaeology curator at the Arizona State Museum.
Local police and the FBI continue to investigate Guthrie’s disappearance, which occurred in February. Despite the discovery, the case remains unsolved, with no suspects identified. Authorities had earlier found blood confirmed to be Guthrie’s outside her home and footage of a masked individual near her door.
The search for Guthrie, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, remains ongoing, with a reward offered for information leading to her recovery. The discovery of the ancient remains, while significant, does not provide any new leads in the case.
