Overview
- Law‑enforcement sources told ABC News the investigation may transition soon to a smaller long‑term team, while the sheriff’s office says the case remains active with several hundred personnel at work.
- DNA from a glove found about two miles away produced a profile with no CODIS hit and no match to material from the home, as mixed DNA from the residence undergoes private lab processing with investigative genetic genealogy under consideration.
- FBI and tech efforts have recovered no additional home‑camera video and investigators have not linked a vehicle, but Walmart has provided statewide purchase records for the suspect’s Ozark Trail 25L backpack and gun shops are being canvassed.
- Detectives continue to pursue the masked suspect seen on doorbell footage and are not ruling out more than one perpetrator as neighbors submit additional surveillance video for review.
- Tip lines have been inundated—FBI reports more than 20,000 tips—and officials urge only actionable information; rewards now exceed $200,000, and search tactics have included helicopter attempts to detect Guthrie’s pacemaker signal as President Trump publicly weighed in on the strategy.
