Day 22 in Nancy Guthrie Case: Sheriff Reports Progress on Suspect’s Clothing as Volunteers Told to Step Back

Detectives report progress on identifying the masked person’s clothing, with mixed DNA complicating testing.

Overview

  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says investigators are getting closer to identifying the pants, shoes, and jacket seen on the masked person in the recovered doorbell footage.
  • Authorities are tracing a distinctive Ozark Trail backpack seen in the video and are working with Walmart on potential purchase records.
  • Lab work continues on mixed DNA collected at the residence and on multiple recovered gloves, with at least one glove DNA profile yielding no CODIS match so far.
  • An anonymous Tucson couple reported finding blood‑stained gloves and a rock about a mile from the home; those items were collected and are under forensic review.
  • Officials say several hundred law‑enforcement personnel remain assigned, the FBI is rotating agents and analyzing cell data and video, the possibility of an accomplice is not ruled out, and the public is urged to submit only actionable tips as rewards include $100,000 from the FBI and $102,500 via 88‑CRIME.
