Overview
- The FBI says it is analyzing a hair sample from Nancy Guthrie’s home that a private Florida lab transferred after earlier testing.
- Following a public statement, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department emphasized that work with the FBI and other partner labs has been ongoing and does not reflect a sudden new lead.
- Investigators describe DNA from the scene as a mixture from multiple people, and Sheriff Chris Nanos warned it could take up to six more months to separate contributors and develop usable profiles.
- There have been no CODIS database matches or named suspects more than two months after Guthrie’s Feb. 1 disappearance, despite doorbell images of a masked visitor and testing of a nearby glove that produced no hit.
- A sheriff’s post reading “Nancy has been located” referred to a different missing person and drew backlash, intensifying scrutiny of case communications as the family maintains a $1 million reward for information.
