Security measures make cross-border abduction of Nancy Guthrie ‘low’ probability, expert says

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

TUCSON, Ariz. — The chances that Nancy Guthrie was brought across the southern border into Mexico remain low due to a number of factors, including the enhanced security measures being utilized by federal authorities there, one expert said. 

The border wall near Nogales, Arizona, some 60 miles from Tucson, the city where Guthrie resides, is several feet high and lined with barbed wire fencing for miles well beyond the city in both directions, said retired NYPD Lt. Darrin Porcher.

“When we look at how the border wall is aligned, it seems very difficult to get across from the United States into Mexico because this is not a porus environment,” Porcher told Fox News Digital at the border crossing that separates Nogales, Ariz., from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.

Porcher also noted the surveillance cameras that line the border and the U.S. Border Patrol agents staked out in vehicles a few hundred yards apart in some areas. 

Authorities have said there is no evidence that Guthrie, 84, was taken across the southern border, but experts have noted the federal protocols automatically come into play regarding her alleged kidnapping.  

Despite the logistical problems of taking a captive across the border, Porcher said law enforcement should have immediately begun looking into the possibility, given Mexico’s proximity to Guthrie’s home. 

“I believe this is something that law enforcement should have attached too immediately within the first 72 hours, because it seems as if they were coming into a brick wall and not gaining any solutions as it relates to a kidnapping occurring,” he said.

“This is a point of contention that should have been addressed early on in the investigation,” he added. 

Mexican authorities in Sonora have disputed claims that the FBI has asked them for help in the search for Guthrie , who was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills, Ariz., the unincorporated community where Nancy Guthrie’s home is located.

The office of Sonora Attorney General Gustavo Rómulo Salas Chávez wrote on the social platform X in Spanish that “it has not received a formal request for collaboration in the case of a missing person in Arizona,” referring to Guthrie.

“To date, this institution has not received any formal request for collaboration, assistance, or exchange of information from U.S. authorities or Mexican federal agencies in relation to said case,” Chávez’s office added.

Pima County Chris Nanos has said investigators haven’t had any indication that Guthrie was taken across the border. 

“We know where Mexico is in relationship to this, and it’s a possibility. But no, we have nothing to indicate that,” he previously said.

Man stabbed to death after violent dog attack on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Loved ones are devastated after a 37-year-old man was attacked by a dog and stabbed to death by several men on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The unprovoked attack happened on May 20 as Berry Henderson, 37, was standing at a bus stop near Hollywood Boulevard and Las Palmas Avenue around 3 p.m.

Surveillance video showed Henderson running into the street as a dog was seen chasing him and aggressively biting him. 

Henderson managed to pull out a knife and stabbed the dog to defend himself. That’s when a group of four men, one of whom was the dog’s owner, rushed over to attack Henderson. A suspect who was armed with a machete was seen stabbing and punching Henderson.

The victim’s cousin, Sharon Grimes, said she was stunned that no bystanders acted to help Henderson.

“People around weren’t doing anything,” she said. “I didn’t see anybody try to come to his rescue, with all that blood. Nobody picked up the phone.”

“That’s what makes it so shocking,” said Najee Ali, a community activist. “That someone could actually be stabbed to death, beaten and bit by a dog in broad daylight with no one helping.”

Henderson, who was critically injured, stumbled across the street while trying to escape the attackers, but the men quickly came after him again.

“He was running away,” said Demeya Brewer, the victim’s cousin. “He was down on the ground, running away and they still continued to attack him.”

Henderson, who had suffered multiple stab wounds, died from his injuries at the hospital. 

Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to the scene and were able to locate and arrest three suspects. The fourth male suspect managed to escape.

On Friday night, Henderson’s family gathered at the scene for a candlelight vigil to honor Henderson, who was a student at a local trade school. Family members said he was a peaceful man who was loved by his friends and community.

“My cousin was not a threat to anyone,” Brewer said. “This was his area, his neighborhood. Business owners knew him. We need more love and peace.”

Henderson’s family believes there are witnesses who likely know where the fourth suspect is hiding. They’re asking anyone with information on the case to call the LAPD at 213-382-9470.

Man arrested for multiple Los Angeles freeway shootings: CHP

A man suspected of repeatedly shooting at other vehicles while driving on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles County was arrested on May 29, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP pulled over the suspected shooter, Martin Moreno-Pacheco, in South Los Angeles at about 3:40 a.m. Friday. Prior to his arrest, CHP officers suspected that Moreno-Pacheco was connected to multiple freeway shootings in recent days.

On May 26, a driver reported a car-to-car shooting, which they said happened on the 405 Freeway near Wilmington Avenue on May 23. The victim told investigators that the person responsible for the shooting was driving a black pickup truck.

“The victim reported an unprovoked shooting occurred, resulting in damage to the victim’s vehicle,” CHP said.

“Based on the investigation conducted, both incidents, as well as a third incident, which occurred on May 22, 2026, were determined to be committed by the same individual,” CHP said.

Moreno-Pacheco was found and arrested a week later. Upon searching Moreno-Pacheco’s truck, CHP officers found a loaded BB gun inside the truck’s passenger compartment.

No one was injured in the shootings, CHP said. CHP is asking any additional witnesses or victims of the alleged crimes to contact Officer C. Ortega at the CHP South Los Angeles Area office at (424) 551-4000.
