Authorities in Pima County say DNA recovered from a glove linked to the abduction of Nancy Guthrie has not produced a match in the FBI’s national database, though investigators stress the evidence could still prove useful as analysis continues.
What to Know:
- A glove found about two miles from Guthrie’s Tucson home showed no match in CODIS, the FBI’s DNA database.
- The glove appears similar to one worn by the masked suspect seen on Guthrie’s porch the morning she was taken.
- DNA recovered inside Guthrie’s home also produced no CODIS hits, but additional samples remain under review.
- Sheriff Chris Nanos says the lack of a match is not a setback and believes the DNA may still help identify a suspect.
- Investigators have received nearly 40,000 public tips since Guthrie, 84, was abducted on February 1.
- The FBI has raised the reward for information leading to her recovery to $100,000.
- Detectives are also examining “investigative genetic genealogy” databases for potential leads.
- Family members, whom authorities describe as victims in the case, continue to issue public pleas for Guthrie’s safe return.
- Guthrie requires regular medication and is in poor physical health, heightening urgency in the search.
- Blood found on her porch was confirmed to be hers, and investigators continue to comb the surrounding area.
