FBI Finds Glove With DNA That 'Appears to Match' Subject in Nancy Guthrie Case

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is issuing an update in the ongoing search for Today cohost Savannah Guthrie's missing mom, Nancy Guthrie.

"The gloves found approximately 2 miles from the Guthrie residence in a field near the side of the road were packed by PCOS and sent overnight on 2/12 and they arrived at their private lb in Florida on 2/13," NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entinshared via X on Sunday, February 15.

"The FBI received preliminary results yesterday on 2/14 and are awaiting quality control and official confirmation today before putting unknown male profile into CoDIS, the national database unique to the bureau," the correspondent continued. "This process typically takes 24 hours from when the bureau receives DNA."

According to Entin and the FBI, investigators collected a total of "16 gloves in various areas" near Nancy's Arizona home.

"Most of them were searchers' gloves that they discarded in various areas when they searched the vicinity," Entin continued in the same tweet. "The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video The FBI has and will continue to provide assistance on whatever timeline is provided to us."

In a follow up tweet, Entin admitted that the FBI's latest update was "confusing," adding that he is "trying to sort it out."

Nancy was first reported missing on February 1 after she failed to show up for a virtual church service. (Nancy shared daughters Savannah and Annie Guthrie and son Camron Guthrie with Charles Guthrie, who died in 1988 after a heart attack.)

On Tuesday, February 10, FBI Director Kash Patelreleased a black-and-white image showing a person standing outside Nancy's home with what appeared to be a gun in his waistband. The individual was seen wearing a full mask and gloves, attempting to block the home's security camera before dismantling the device altogether.

Savannah, for her part, reshared both the photos and a video via her Instagram alongside statements that read, "We believe she is still alive. Bring her home. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff's Department 520-351-4900."

The FBI released an official description of the subject on Thursday, February 12, alerting the public that the individual is likely "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," the FBI added. Federal officials confirmed they'd received 13,000 tips from the public related to Nancy's ongoing disappearance.

"Today, the FBI is increasing its reward 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 at the time. "Newly 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 Technological Division."

Local authorities have now reportedly deployed the use of a "high-tech" scanner in an attempt to track Nancy's pacemaker.

According to a Saturday, February 14, report from Fox News Digital, law enforcement officials engaged in the ongoing search for Savannah's 84-year-old mother have "used a high-tech Bluetooth scanner placed on the bottom" of "helicopters" in the hopes they can "track" the missing matriarch's pacemaker signal.

"The helicopters fly low, typically in grid patterns, at a slow pace to pick up signals," the report reads, adding that the outlet "spotted one of the low-flying helicopters near Guthrie's home" three days after she was reported missing though it is not known if the bird was fitted with the scanner at that time.
