DNA on Glove May Crack Nancy Guthrie Disappearance in Arizona
DNA from a glove found near the Tucson home may match the gloves of a masked suspect, fueling the ongoing missing-person investigation into Nancy Guthrie.
Nearly three weeks after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson-area home, investigators say a small piece of physical evidence—a glove recovered from a roadside field several kilometres away—could hold major investigative value. DNA testing is underway, and federal authorities have confirmed it resembles the gloves worn by a masked figure seen on surveillance outside Guthrie's front door shortly before she went missing.
The case has become one of the region's most high-profile missing-person investigations, drawing national attention because Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie. Authorities say they are processing thousands of tips as forensic teams step up searches and court-authorised raids.
Officials from the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department say the inquiry is in its third week with no confirmed proof of life or death. The investigation includes gathering evidence from multiple locations, analyzing biological material, and reviewing surveillance footage to reconstruct the sequence of events surrounding Guthrie's disappearance.
The timeline notes that Guthrie was last seen on January 31 after being dropped off at her Tucson-area home by family members following a gathering at her daughter Annie's residence. Investigators are continuing to piece together the sequence of events and have urged the public to share any tips.
