FBI Re-Checks DNA From Glove Linked to Suspect in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance

Authorities have prioritized testing at a private Florida lab with a potential database upload pending.

Overview

  • Investigators are re-verifying a DNA profile recovered from a glove, with possible submission to CODIS once confirmations are complete.
  • The glove was collected by FBI specialists along a roadside about two kilometers from Guthrie’s home and was one of roughly 16 recovered, most traced to search volunteers.
  • Officials say the glove appears to match the type worn by a masked person seen on door-camera video, who carried a backpack and used a flashlight.
  • The FBI has raised the reward to up to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie’s location or the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
  • No arrests have been made as teams continue searches, review nearby surveillance, and follow leads, and the family has received ransom-style messages demanding bitcoin that investigators take seriously.
