TUCSON, Ariz. (TNND) — The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said the unknown male DNA found on a glove near Nancy Guthrie’s house was entered into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) DNA database — but did not result in any matches.
The department shared the update on Tuesday, which marked more than two weeks since Nancy Guthrie was last seen.
“DNA evidence from gloves found approximately 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s residence was submitted to CODIS & produced no matches. There is additional DNA evidence that was found at the residence that is also being analyzed,” the department wrote on X.”The DNA that was submitted to CODIS was from the set of gloves found 2 miles away. It did not trigger a match in CODIS & did not match DNA found at the property. The DNA found at the property is being analyzed & further testing needs to be done as part of the investigation,” the department noted in a separate post, which was also shared on Tuesday.
A day prior, the sheriff announced that all members of Nancy Guthrie’s family were cleared as suspects.
“To be clear…the Guthrie family — to include all siblings as spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” Nanos previously wrote on X.
The search continues for Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie.
“It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken. And I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope. And we still believe,” Savannah Guthrie said in a video she posted on social media.
“And I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is that it’s never too late,” she added.
On Monday, TMZ claimed it received a fourth email from a man who claims to know who was behind the abduction of Nancy Guthrie and where she currently is.
Last week, investigators released surveillance video showing an armed, masked suspect at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the night she was abducted. The FBI later described the suspect as a male who is approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with an average build.
“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving,” FBI Phoenix said.
They also shared images of an Ozark Trail Hiker Pack, which investigators said is a style of backpack the suspect was seen wearing in surveillance footage.
FBI Phoenix said the FBI is increasing its reward from $50,000 to $100,000 for information that leads to Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
The FBI urged anyone who has information about the case to call the agency at 1-800-CALL-FBI, as well as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
