Authorities have found “DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her” as the investigation into her disappearance continues.
The DNA evidence was discovered and collected at her property, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in a statement with multiple media outlets on Friday, February 13.
“Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,” the update read. “We are not disclosing where that DNA was located.”
Investigators also found several gloves, with the closest discovered approximately two miles from Nancy’s home.

The statement also clarified speculation surrounding the location of where the glove was found.
“Reports that a glove was found inside the residence or on the property are inaccurate. All collected evidence has been submitted for laboratory analysis,” the update continued.
Us Weekly has reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for comment.
Guthrie, who is the mother of the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie, was last seen alive in Tucson, Arizona, on January 30 after enjoying dinner with family members. Police later confirmed a 911 call was made on February 1 after the 84-year-old didn’t meet up with friends to watch a church service virtually.
Authorities have not identified a person of interest or suspect in Guthrie’s disappearance. They also have not officially ruled anyone out.
On Thursday, February 12, the FBI released an official description of the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In [a newly-obtained security] video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.” Federal officials confirmed they’d received 13,000 tips from the public related to Nancy’s disappearance — and were doubling their offer from $50,000 to $100,000 for any information that led to her rescue or recovery.
“Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” FBI Phoenix announced via X on Thursday. “New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.”

Annie added, “Nancy is our mother, we are her children. She is our beacon. She holds fast to joy and all of life’s circumstances. She chooses joy day after day despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief. We are always going to be merely human. Just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”
