TUCSON, AZ — DNA evidence found on a glove discarded near Nancy Guthrie’s home did not match any profiles in the national criminal database, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced on Feb. 17.
Investigators discovered the black glove on the side of a road approximately two miles from the Guthrie residence. According to NewsNation, the item appeared similar to those worn by the suspect seen at the front door.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) wrote in an update on X that DNA from the glove was submitted to the Combined DNA Index System, the FBI’s national database known as CODIS.
“DNA evidence from gloves found approximately 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s residence was submitted to CODIS and produced no matches,” stated the PCSD post on X.
Officials said they are also analyzing additional DNA evidence found at the residence. On Feb. 13, the department said investigators collected DNA from the property that did not belong to Guthrie or those in close contact with her.
The 84-year-old mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie is believed to have been abducted from her Tucson home during the early morning hours of Feb. 1. The investigation entered its third week as authorities continue to seek a masked, armed assailant captured on home surveillance footage.
Surveillance photos and video released Feb. 10 show a man on the front porch carrying a firearm. The FBI Phoenix office described the suspect as a male between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall with an average build.
The suspect was seen wearing a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the identification of the backpack, which is sold at Walmart, is a primary lead in the case.
Technical data from the home shows the doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m. the day Guthrie vanished. A person was detected on the camera at 2:12 a.m.
At 2:28 a.m., Guthrie’s pacemaker was disconnected from a mobile application on her cellphone. Law enforcement sources told CBS News that investigators are using “signal sniffers” to try to detect Bluetooth transmissions from the medical device.
Media outlets received alleged ransom notes shortly after the disappearance. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or a motive for the abduction.
Savannah Guthrie, 54, has made several public appeals for her mother’s return. In a video shared Sunday on Instagram, the journalist said the family still has hope after two weeks.
A $100,000 reward is available for information that leads to Guthrie’s recovery or an arrest.
The FBI has asked anyone with actionable information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
