The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie continues to plow on well into its fifth month. The mother of broadcaster Savannah Guthrie was seemingly forcibly taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona and has not been seen since.
While there has been little progress made in the case to find Nancy or track down the suspect involved in the crime, at least publicly, law enforcement has still been kept busy. The investigation has seen several dramatic turns in recent weeks, including a search for a potential body in Mexico following an anonymous tip.
Over the last few days, police have also made a number of arrests outside of Nancy’s home — although not necessarily for the reason you might think,
Three YouTubers Arrested Near Nancy Guthrie’s Residence
According to reports, three YouTube content creators were arrested this week by police. The group included Alexander Zabel, 54, who is best known for running the YouTube channel Criminal Network.
In a post made to X by the Pima County Sheriff’s department, the law enforcement agency confirmed the arrest. It reads, “On June 11, 2026, just before 5:00 p.m., deputies with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) arrested 54-year-old Alexander Zabel Jr. in front of Nancy Guthrie’s home.”
It continued, “PCSD had received several complaints regarding Mr. Zabel’s behavior. At the time of the incident, Mr. Zabel was live-streaming from outside the residence. Deputies made contact with him, and during the arrest process, a PCSD sergeant was knocked to the ground.”
According to the statement, Zabel was taken into custody and faces charges of resisting arrest and public nuisance.
In two other separate incidents, 34-year-old Tony Bradshaw and 46-year-old Damian Todd Enderdale, were also arrested. Bradshaw, who runs a YouTube channel, was subsequently charged with public nuisance while Enderle was cited for public nuisance and released without being taken into custody.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department told The Independent that they have “received numerous complaints about individuals blocking roadways, trespassing and disrupting the peace in the neighborhood.” Many residents have also been forced to put up signs to help prevent trespassing.

Effective immediately, individuals found in violation of the law may be cited and released on a first offense.”
