India, April 15 -- Police have stepped up patrols in parts of Tucson linked to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, as complaints grow over vloggers and amateur journalists entering private property in search of updates on the high-profile case.

According to USA Today, the Pima County Sheriff's Department has increased its presence in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood after residents raised concerns about trespassing.
