A true crime YouTuber has come under fire for allegedly transforming a road near where Nancy Guthrie was last seen into a makeshift livestreaming setup, complete with traffic cones and even a “pee tent.”
Documents obtained indicate that three men have faced misdemeanor charges after law enforcement spotted them livestreaming near the Catalina Foothills area in connection with Guthrie’s case. The FBI reported that she was last seen at her home in Tucson on January 31, 2026.
Her disappearance has attracted a mix of online sleuths, streamers, and even people with dubious motives arriving in the neighborhood to broadcast from the search site.
Case of Alexander Zabel Jr. — “Criminal Network”
One of the more intricate cases involves Alexander Zabel Jr., also known as Criminal Network. He faces charges for obstructing a public highway and creating a public nuisance, as stated in documents from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
On May 26, deputies were called out to address a traffic hazard and found Zabel sitting in a lawn chair. The authorities noted he had placed a traffic cone on the road and was using a tripod for his livestream. Additionally, on June 6, he reportedly set up a “pee tent” on the road, making the surrounding area less pleasant for neighbors.
Zabel created a disruptive environment right in the middle of a residential area, which was particularly problematic given the high-profile nature of the case.
He has been charged with two misdemeanor counts but has pleaded not guilty. A court hearing for Zabel is scheduled for 9 a.m. on July 21.
Troy Lewis Bradshaw — “DAA JUICE”
Another streamer, Troy Lewis Bradshaw, known as “DAA JUICE,” was also charged with obstructing a public highway. However, the details regarding his actions leading to this charge were not specified in the court documents.
Bradshaw has pleaded not guilty to the obstruction charge and might face a fine of $282 for the incident. According to updates, he has been involved in case management discussions recently.
Damon Todd Engdahl — “857 Tucson”
The third individual, known as Damon Todd Engdahl or “857 Tucson,” faced a public nuisance charge, which was later dismissed as the state opted not to pursue it. There are no upcoming court dates noted for Engdahl.
Meanwhile, the investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance remains active. Authorities are seeking digital evidence, such as photos or doorbell footage, that may aid in locating her. Anyone with tips can contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
