Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of television journalist Savannah Guthrie, say DNA recovered from a glove found near her home may belong to the individual captured on doorbell camera video.
Guthrie was reported missing after leaving her home in suburban Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of February 1. Surveillance footage from a doorbell camera showed a masked, armed individual entering her residence shortly before she was reported missing.
During the ongoing investigation, law enforcement discovered a glove at or near the scene. Forensic teams processed the item and extracted DNA that officials believe may match the person seen on the video. Investigators are working to confirm the identity linked to the genetic material and determine whether it leads to a suspect.
Police have not announced any arrest in the case yet but have described the DNA development as a potentially significant lead. Officers continue to review surveillance footage, follow up on tips, and coordinate with federal agencies as part of the search for Guthrie and efforts to identify the individual seen in the footage.
Friends, family members and members of the public have been urged to provide any information that might assist the investigation as authorities pursue all possible leads. The case has drawn widespread attention due to Guthrie’s prominence and the unusual circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
