17 Feb
Summary
- DNA from a glove did not match national database.
- Investigators had hoped the glove DNA would be a lead.
- Sheriff indicated uncertainty in finding Nancy Guthrie.
Investigators searching for Nancy Guthrie have faced a setback as DNA recovered from a glove, discovered two miles from her residence, did not return any matches in the national CODIS database. This development was anticipated to be a significant breakthrough in the case. The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed these results.
Fox News anchors discussed the implications of the negative DNA match, with one noting the devastation this news must bring to the investigators and Guthrie's family. Hopes had been high that this evidence would provide a crucial lead.
It was suggested that alternative methods, such as investigative genetic genealogy, could still offer a path forward, similar to other recent high-profile cases. However, the sheriff expressed uncertainty regarding the timeline for locating Nancy Guthrie.
