The FBI announced on Sunday that they received preliminary results on Saturday regarding a recent investigation and are now waiting for official confirmation.
TUCSON, Ariz. — A glove discovered about two miles away from the home of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, which contains DNA, appears to resemble those worn by a masked individual seen outside her residence in Tucson on the night of her disappearance, according to the FBI.
The glove was located in a field beside a road and has been submitted for DNA analysis. The FBI reported on Sunday that they have received initial findings as of Saturday and are now anticipating official verification.
Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was last observed at her Arizona residence on January 31 and was reported missing the next day. Blood was found on her front porch, and several ransom notes have been sent to media outlets, though the deadlines for payment have already expired.
In total, approximately 16 gloves were discovered in various locations near the house. Most of these were identified by the FBI as disposable gloves used by search teams.
The discovery was revealed days after investigators had released surveillance videos of the masked person outside Guthrie’s front door. A porch camera recorded video of a person with a backpack who was wearing a ski mask, long pants, jacket and gloves.
On Thursday, the FBI called the person a suspect. It described him as a man about 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build. The agency said he was carrying a 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.
Authorities have expressed concern about Nancy Guthrie’s health because she needs vital daily medicine. She is said to have a pacemaker and have dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff’s dispatcher audio on broadcastify.com.
Earlier in the investigation, authorities had said they had had collected DNA from Nancy Guthrie’s property which doesn’t belong to Guthrie or those in close contact with her. Investigators were working to identify who it belongs to.
