Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC\u2019s Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home on february 1. The department said there have been no CODIS hits in the inquiry, and the glove\u2019s DNA did not match the DNA found at the home.

He declined to reveal where in the home the DNA was found and stressed that there may be DNA clues at the property that could identify a suspect, potentially through CODIS or genealogy. Nanos emphasized hope and commitment, mentioning that about 400 people are in the field, and urged the person who took Guthrie to release her, saying he believes they will find her.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>DNA found in a glove located two miles from the home of Nancy Guthrie did not match anyone in the federal database, according to the Pima County Sheriff&rsquo;s Department.<\/p>\n<p>The 84-year-old mother of &ldquo;Today&rdquo;

Nancy Guthrie, 84 and the mother of NBC\u2019s Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her Tucson residence on February 1. The glove&#8217;s DNA was entered into CODIS, but there were no matches, and investigators say there have been no confirmed CODIS hits in the case. The glove\u2019s DNA also did not match DNA found at the home.<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff Chris Nanos said the investigation is ongoing and emphasized that the glove DNA is only one piece of leads being pursued. He indicated they are prioritizing genealogy and additional DNA collected at the home, noting they have not disclosed where in the home the DNA was found. He suggested there may be DNA at the residence that could point to a suspect, but results won\u2019t be clear until the DNA is separated, analyzed, and possibly entered into CODIS or genealogy databases. Nanos also stated he does not want to assume Guthrie is dead without evidence, expressing faith that she will be found and underscoring the large team already searching for her. He appealed to the person who took Guthrie to release her, saying it would be better in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The passage also contains embedded website code and widgets, which are not part of the news content<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2571039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-709.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50645,73584,53559],"class_list":["post-2571038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-fbi-2","tag-guthrie","tag-kidnapping-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-709.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2571038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2571038"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2571038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2571042,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2571038\/revisions\/2571042"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2571039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2571038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2571038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2571038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
