An Arizona gun store owner was recently asked by the FBI to check firearm purchase records against a list of individuals, as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues into its third week, according to Fox News. Phillip Martin, co-owner of Armor Bearer Arms in Tucson, said an FBI agent visited his store with a list of approximately 18 to 24 individuals, along with corresponding photos and names. No matches were found.
