Nancy Guthrie Abduction Probe Faces Setback as DNA Search Yields No Results
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's abduction hit a setback after DNA from a glove found near her home did not match any national genetic profiles. Despite comprehensive efforts, including analyzing ransom notes and refining suspect lists, there is still no breakthrough in finding the 84-year-old mother.
In a disheartening twist for investigators, the DNA taken from a glove discovered near Nancy Guthrie's residence in Arizona did not match any profiles in a national database, officials announced Tuesday. Nancy, 84, the mother of NBC News journalist Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for 17 days.
The glove was found two miles from her Tucson-area home and believed to be worn by a suspect caught on video. Investigators continue to follow leads, scrutinizing purchased items like backpacks and holsters to identify potential suspects, despite the DNA setback.
Authorities also leverage advanced search technologies and have ruled out Guthrie's family as suspects. Although traces of her blood were found at her home, officials have not confirmed any signs of life or death since her disappearance.
