Glove DNA Traced to Local Worker, Clearing Lead in Nancy Guthrie Abduction Probe

Sheriff Chris Nanos says investigators are closer to a suspect, with no verified proof of life to date.

Overview

  • DNA from a glove found about two miles from Guthrie’s home matched a nearby restaurant employee who has been cleared of involvement, according to the sheriff.
  • FBI doorbell-camera images of a masked, armed man with a 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack remain the chief public clue, but the suspect has not been identified.
  • Authorities continue a multiagency investigation, with operations increasingly coordinated through Phoenix and a task force reported to include homicide detectives and FBI agents.
  • Additional recovered gloves are undergoing testing at a private lab, and officials continue to review surveillance video and vet public tips spurred by a $1.2 million combined reward.
  • Savannah Guthrie visited the Today show studio and plans to return to air at a later date, as her family maintains public appeals for information on Nancy’s disappearance.
