DNA From Glove Becomes Key Lead in Nancy Guthrie Case as Sheriff Clears Family

A DNA profile from a recovered glove is being readied for a national database check that investigators say could deliver a rapid match.

Overview

  • FBI officials say a glove found about two miles from the Tucson home appears to match those worn by the masked person in doorbell video, with preliminary DNA results received and a CODIS search expected after quality control.
  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos publicly ruled out all Guthrie family members and spouses as suspects, urging responsible coverage and rejecting unverified claims of a burglary gone wrong.
  • Investigators towed a Range Rover and questioned a cooperative person of interest who was released, executed additional searches under court orders, and reported no arrests or verified proof of life.
  • The reward now stands at $100,000 as tens of thousands of tips are reviewed; the suspect is described as a male of average build seen with an Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack, and authorities are working with Walmart on related leads.
  • Savannah Guthrie issued a new video plea for her mother's safe return, while President Trump warned of the harshest federal consequences for those responsible if Nancy Guthrie is not returned alive.
