Surveillance footage shows a masked man carrying a backpack on her porch the night she disappeared, and investigators are analyzing DNA evidence and video from cameras in the area. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the FBI, continues to treat the case as active despite a lack of major public breakthroughs.
