DNA on a glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Arizona, did not match records in an FBI database.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News on Tuesday that authorities had tried unsuccessfully to match the DNA in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database.
“We always hope to be close, but…the DNA from the glove that was found two miles away (from Nancy’s house) was submitted to CODIS,” he explained, adding, “We just heard that CODIS had no hits.”
Nanos also confirmed that the DNA on the gloves was different from the DNA found at Guthrie’s home.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office shared a post about X regarding DNA test results.
“DNA submitted to CODIS was from a set of gloves found 2 miles away. No match was triggered in CODIS, nor was there a match to DNA found at the facility,” the tweet reads.
“DNA found on the premises is being analyzed and further testing will need to be carried out as part of the investigation.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office also said “additional DNA evidence” found at Guthrie’s home is being analyzed.
Page Six reported that the black glove was found on a dirt path two miles from Nancy’s home as the search for the missing 84-year-old (mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie) continues.
Authorities previously said the gloves matched those worn by the suspect in surveillance footage released by the FBI last week.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department also confirmed that the DNA does not belong to anyone “close” to Nancy.
Authorities also found several other gloves near Nancy’s home.
However, the FBI said most of the gloves belonged to agents who dropped them during the search for Nancy, according to CBS News.
Nancy was first reported missing from her home on February 1st after failing to show up for Sunday church services.
FBI footage shows the suspect in the case tampering with Nancy’s home surveillance camera the morning she was reported missing. The armed individual was wearing gloves, a ski mask and a backpack.
The FBI described Nancy’s alleged abductor as an average-sized man, approximately 5-foot-9 or 5-foot-10 tall.
The reward for critical information in finding Nancy has been increased to $100,000.
Nanos recently acknowledged that the search for the Guthrie patriarch could take “many years.”
“We’re going to go find Nancy,” he told The New York Times on Friday. “We’re going to go find this guy.”
