Police searched a home in Arizona in connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of US news anchor Savannah Guthrie, after detaining a man at a traffic stop, according to CBS News. The man, identified only as Carlos, was later released and told reporters he did not know who Guthrie was. Meanwhile, US lawmakers are urging Prince Andrew to testify in the US about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and the Democratic National Committee reported strong grassroots fundraising last month.
The search of the home in Rio Rico, south of Tucson, Arizona, followed the man's detention, sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News. Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her home. Carlos, speaking outside his home after his release, said, "I don't follow the news."

The King stated the Royal Family were "ready to support" police inquiries. Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) reported raising over $7.4 million through small-dollar fundraising last month, according to an official who spoke to CBS News. This represents one of the strongest grassroots starts to the year for the party, ahead of the fall midterms. The fundraising success was partially attributed to appeals from Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and interest in a new voter registration push. The DNC is attempting to regain political ground after facing financial challenges.
