SH0CKING UPDATE: Walmart conf!rms it has recovered CREDIT CARD purchase data for the Ozark Trail Hiker Pack — the identity of the young male buyer leaves the Guthrie family reeling…

Authorities in Arizona confirmed that investigators have obtained verified retail transaction records connected to the purchase of the Ozark Trail Hiker Pack believed to be relevant to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. According to law enforcement sources, the retailer Walmart was able to retrieve archived payment data showing that the backpack was not purchased in cash, as initially suspected, but through a credit card transaction.

Officials state that the purchase occurred within a timeframe already identified as critical in the case timeline. Surveillance footage from the store had previously captured an individual buying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack. However, the absence of clear facial imagery initially limited identification efforts. The recovery of cardholder data significantly narrows the investigative focus.

Law enforcement confirmed that the credit card was registered to a young adult male. Authorities have not publicly released the name, citing procedural safeguards and the ongoing status of the investigation. Detectives are currently verifying whether the cardholder personally made the purchase or whether the card may have been used without authorization.

Investigators are also examining related financial activity, including transaction location history, merchant patterns, and any unusual spending behavior in the days surrounding the purchase. Digital forensic teams are coordinating with financial institutions to confirm the physical point-of-sale authentication method used — including chip verification, PIN entry, or signature capture — to determine the likelihood of in-person usage

Sources familiar with the investigation indicate that the individual linked to the card has some form of indirect connection to the broader circle of persons previously examined in the case. Authorities caution, however, that a financial transaction alone does not establish involvement in a criminal act. Detectives are cross-referencing the purchase timestamp with cell phone location data, vehicle movements, and surveillance feeds from adjacent retail properties.

Family members, including Savannah Guthrie, were reportedly notified that a purchaser identity had been identified. Officials declined to characterize the family’s reaction but confirmed that next-of-kin briefings are part of standard procedure as developments unfold.

No arrest has been announced in connection with the retail transaction at this time. Law enforcement emphasized that corroborating evidence — including forensic testing on the recovered backpack and digital metadata — must align before any prosecutorial decision is made.

The investigation remains active as authorities continue integrating financial records, surveillance analysis, and forensic results into a consolidated timeline..
