Authorities in Arizona have announced that the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has hit a roadblock with the discovery of a glove found two miles from her home. This potential piece of evidence has failed to provide a DNA match, as confirmed by officials on Tuesday.
The glove, which was sent to a lab in Florida, underwent analysis and was entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos informed Fox News that the DNA profile extracted from the glove belonged to an unknown male and did not match any profiles in the database. This setback adds to the challenges faced by investigators.
Further complicating the investigation, DNA samples collected from Guthrie’s residence in Tucson have also failed to produce a match in the FBI’s database. Sheriff Nanos noted that the DNA found at the home and the DNA on the glove do not correspond, leaving authorities without a clear lead.
In a bid to gather more information, the FBI released surveillance footage and still images from the time of Guthrie’s disappearance on January 31. The footage captured an individual outside her home sporting a glove similar to the one discovered nearby, adding another layer of mystery to the case.
Investigators are also examining two ransom notes received by local news outlets, one of which demanded millions in Bitcoin for Guthrie’s safe return. This aspect of the case is being scrutinized alongside the examination of the glove, which may hold critical clues.
Despite these developments, no arrests have been made, and the search for Nancy Guthrie continues as authorities work tirelessly to unravel the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
