A pair of black gloves discovered near Nancy Guthrie’s home in the Tucson area is now undergoing DNA analysis, marking a significant step forward in the investigation into her disappearance.
The gloves were located approximately a mile and a half from Guthrie’s residence in the Catalina Foothills. However, it remains unclear if they hold any connection to the masked figure seen in surveillance footage at her home.
On Wednesday night through early Thursday, deputies and FBI agents were observed searching the desert terrain along a nearby roadside, focusing their efforts about a mile from Guthrie’s property. Fox News Digital reported the presence of several patrol vehicles and a sheriff’s forensics truck at the scene, with investigators meticulously examining the cacti and rocky landscape. Officials have not revealed what triggered this search operation.
Authorities are also requesting Ring doorbell footage from local residents, particularly recordings from January 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight, and from January 31 between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., as these timeframes are considered potentially crucial to the investigation.

The gloves surfaced days after the FBI released black-and-white images showing a masked person wearing a backpack and gun holster on Guthrie’s porch the night she vanished. In the images, the individual appears to reach toward the doorbell camera. The footage does not show what happened next.

Authorities briefly stopped a man near the U.S.-Mexico border shortly after the images became public, but later confirmed he was questioned and released. Law enforcement also executed a search in Rio Rico, where the man lives. Officials have not disclosed what led to the stop and have not announced any charges in the case.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her home Jan. 31 and reported missing the following day. Investigators have said they believe she was taken against her will, and DNA testing confirmed that blood found on her porch belonged to her.

Since the surveillance images were released, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it has received thousands of tips from the public as the investigation intensifies. FBI Director Kash Patel said agents worked for days to retrieve previously inaccessible footage tied to the case.
Savannah Guthrie shared the images publicly and said her family believes their mother is still alive. She and her siblings have expressed willingness to pay a ransom, though authorities have not confirmed whether ransom messages that circulated are authentic or whether investigators have had direct contact with anyone claiming responsibility.
Officials have also warned that Nancy Guthrie relies on several medications, heightening concerns about her wellbeing as the search continues.
