FBI Reports DNA From Glove Appears to Match Masked Man in Nancy Guthrie Abduction

Final DNA confirmation now guides a push to identify the suspect through retailer leads.

Overview

  • Preliminary testing on a glove found about two miles from Guthrie’s home appears to match the gloves worn by the person seen in doorbell video, with final confirmation and CODIS checks pending.
  • Investigators are working with Walmart to trace sales of a 25‑liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack identified in the footage as the suspect’s gear.
  • Authorities say blood was found on the front porch and additional DNA at the property does not match Guthrie or close contacts, and analysis continues.
  • Police closed nearby roads, towed a Range Rover from a restaurant lot, and briefly detained a man who was later released, with no arrests or publicly identified suspect.
  • The reward stands at $100,000 as tens of thousands of tips are reviewed; ransom messages sent to media carried deadlines that lapsed, and concern remains high due to Guthrie’s need for daily medication.
