No DNA match on glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home

Authorities believe the 84-year-old mother of broadcaster Savannah Guthrie was taken against her will from her house outside Arizona.

NO DNA MATCH has been found on a glove tested in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s Today show host Savannah Guthrie. 

Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will from her house outside Tucson, Arizona. She was last seen there on 31 January and reported missing the next day after she did not attend church.

The glove, which was found in a field near the side of the road, appeared to match that worn by a masked person on Guthrie’s porch on the night she went missing, however, testing failed to score a match in a national database of genetic profiles.

The masked person was seen in video footage the FBI released last week.

Authorities said that the footage was retrieved from a backend data repository, even though the Google Nest camera was not recording at the time.

In the footage the man is wearing a ski mask, gloves and a backpack, and was carrying a gun secured in a holster.

The FBI has described the suspect as a male, approximately 5ft 9in – 5ft 10in tall of average build. 

The organisation is offering a reward of up to $100,000 (€84,500) for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Guthrie’s family have made several pleas for the safe return of their mother. They also said Guthrie took life-sustaining medication for a heart condition.

“Bring her home. It’s never too late to do the next right thing,” Savannah Guthrie said in an Instagram post earlier this week.
