Investigators found a suspicious glove similar to the one used by Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping suspect near her Arizona home on Wednesday.
FBI agents found the gloves on a dirt path, according to photos obtained by the newspaper.
The gloves, which appeared to be insulated, were recovered by forensics.
The discovery came after the FBI released surveillance footage showing a suspect disarming Guthrie’s doorbell camera and entering her Arizona home in the early morning hours of February 1st.
Video released Tuesday showed a masked person wearing gloves and a jacket approaching a home in Tucson.
The suspect appeared to have a weapon holstered on his hip and was wearing a backpack.
The gunman’s eyes were clearly visible in the footage before the camera cut out at 1:47 a.m. in Montana.
FBI Director Kash Patel said his team and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department worked together to recover footage that “may have been lost, corrupted, or otherwise inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices.”
The image of the suspect was re-shared on Instagram by Nancy’s daughter Savannah Guthrie.
The Today host begged for the return of his 84-year-old mother, captioning the photo: “We believe she’s still alive. Let’s bring her home.”
Additionally, Savannah and her siblings, Ann and Camron, send some desperate messages to their mother’s kidnapper, pleading with them to get in touch so Nancy can return home.
Shortly after the surveillance footage was released, DoorDash delivery worker Carlos was pulled over and “taken into custody on suspicion of kidnapping.”
“I asked, ‘Who’s kidnapping?’ And they told me about this woman…I don’t know her name,” he told ABC15 Arizona after his release.
“I told (the officers), ‘I work for GLS in Tucson. I may have delivered packages to your house, but I’ve never kidnapped anyone.'”
Nancy was last seen on January 31st after having dinner with her daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.
Her family reported her missing the next day after she did not attend church.
Several media outlets received a ransom note demanding that $6 million be deposited into a Bitcoin account, even though there was no proof that Nancy was alive.
