Nancy Guthrie kidnapper glove found with DNA appears to match that seen in surveillance video released by FBI from Tucson, Arizona home as identity of suspect is now potentially hours away.
A breakthrough into the identity of the Nancy Guthrie kidnapper? A glove found approximately two miles from Nancy Guthrie‘s Tucson, Arizona home ‘appears to match’ the pair the suspect was seen wearing in doorbell surveillance footage, according to the FBI.
Last week, several gloves were found near Nancy’s home before being sealed in evidence bags by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, and shipped overnight for testing at a private lab in Florida.
One of the gloves is different from the rest and appears to match the ones the unidentified masked captor was wearing in the doorbell video captured at Nancy’s front porch, the FBI said.
Unknown male profile to be put through national database
The agency is now ‘awaiting quality control and official confirmation’ before putting the ‘unknown male profile into CoDIS, the national database unique to the bureau,’ an FBI spokesperson told NewsNation.
According to the FBI spokesperson, this process typically takes 24 hours from when the bureau receives DNA. In total, investigators have collected at least 16 gloves from areas near the house. The agency notes that most of the gloves were used and discarded by searchers.
A man, described as being between 5’9″ and 5’10,” was seen on doorbell video footage at Guthrie’s home, wearing gloves and using them to cover the camera, then dismantling it, the night the 84-year-old matriarch went missing.
Several people have been questioned in connection with her disappearance, but were later released. A series of ransom notes have also been sent to media outlets, including TMZ, demanding at least $6 million ransom in bitcoin from the Guthrie family.
Guthrie was last seen the night of Jan. 31 and reported missing on Feb. 1. The search for the mother of ‘TODAY’ show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has entered its third week.
