Sheriff Chris Nanos tells me the DNA profile from the gloves found 2 miles away from Nancy Guthrie’s home did not register a hit in the CODIS system

that's too bad, but not a surprise

So wait, was the house DNA run through CODIS yet or no? I read one report that it was, but wondering if it was misreported and it was only the glove.

@MassGuy
We know that LE can sometimes deceive to further and protect an investigation.
You don't think this could be the case here, or is that just extreme wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking. I can't see them flat out lying like that.

It may not pick up cars traveling along right side of driveway to garage. Or the getaway car came when NG was bringing removed and camera was removed.

I have thought that the camera removal was to make sure it didn't "see' ng'S REMOVAL from the front door when getaway vehicle appeared to take her away. jmo. L-man may have been the driver....parked it off the property, then went to get it to take to front after cam removed. ???? jmo

Welcome, Deep Throat.

Law enforcement right now is absolutely overwhelmed. They are flooded with tips and emails coming in from every direction.

Your idea is actually a clever one. If the perpetrator tried to destroy evidence by burning it and didn’t have access to an indoor fireplace, doing it outside would make the most sense.

That said, I would recommend not continuing to email. Instead, consider writing a physical letter and mailing it. A mailed letter is far more likely to stand out in the middle of thousands of digital messages and may have a better chance of being noticed.
Thanks for sharing.

And, may I add...put your letter in a (bright) pink envelope. Then, they'll be sure to notice it!

Sounds to me like neither house nor glove DNA was in CODIS and they also did not match eachother.

Okay; I trust your judgement. Thanks as always.

Plots to kidnap beloved family members of well known people is not out of the realm of possibilities.

You are making the wrong point. Of course there have been celebrities who have had their relatives kidnapped in lieu of a ransom. I am asking about kidnapping a celebrities relative because you are infatuated, or obsessed and you feel this will get you closer to them, or make some sort of a statement. Look, I am not saying that it is or is not out of the realm, I am just stating that I don't think that is what it is. If NG has any role in this, it would be because the kidnapper new she is wealthy, IMO.

10:47 AM PT -- UPDATE The Sheriff just announced there is no DNA hit from CODIS.

Welcome!

My observation of the perpetrator, at least for the duration of the video LE released, suggests that he doesn't seem the type to panic over much. He seems eerily relaxed in an increasingly high stress situation, even when he appeared to not anticipate the front door camera. No rush, just a mere speed bump. This suggests psychopathy, and psychopaths tend to be calculating, oft-grandiose, and heavily sadistic criminals. And this one seems organized to boot, and on a prior-planned mission of a specific target.

To your point, I don't think this one is responding that way at all. Panic and paranoia lead to mistakes and getting caught quickly. And since it appears this perpetrator didn't rush or panic in committing this act, it is unlikely that he is rushing or panicking after committing this act.

JMO.

Slim I don't disagree with the majority of your premise, video would appear to show a pretty cool character. To that point he's no dummy and once caught it's gonna take evidence to convict him. What evidence? Ski mask, backpack, gloves, jacket, holster, shoes, etc. If tossed or hidden they can be found/recovered. If it were me I'd burn everything including my socks and underwear then scatter the ashes a handful at a time as I drove 100 miles around the desert. Maybe, just maybe someone remembers seeing (suspicious?) smoke from a chimney or yard in the recent past?

 

[Assassino]

Ok it seems the clarification is both the home DNA and glove DNA were entered into CODIS and neither matched one another. So now they have to figure out if that glove is even related to the case, it may not be. And be sure the DNA found inside the home is of the intruder and not some random person who was in the house at a previous time.

Major Blow? Did they really put that much faith in random discarded gloves that were found on the side of the road like 2 miles away?

The glove was found on Sunday, and had been briefly regarded as the best piece of evidence in the ongoing search for the 84-year-old mother of Today Show star Savannah Guthrie.

I read this as the ransom note person gave up information! Just my opinion / interpretation. Lights action!

 

[milkshakedonkey]

Harvey Levin is saying this....

OK, the "no longer talking about the ransom messages" thing is odd to me.

 

[blackmagicx]

Well that's disappointing there's no DNA match. The last few days have been leading upto the results of that.

The remaining investigative paths aren't as fast.

IMO the case now shifts to a long term phase.

 

[cady]

Sounds to me like neither house nor glove DNA was in CODIS and they also did not match eachother.

Some house DNA must've been tested because they said it was male and not that of family or close circle of acquaintances. jmo (They had hoped that random glove DNA would match unknown house DNA)

 

[Cassie P]

IMO it's a dead end since there is no DNA match.

No match in the criminal data base. But the kidnappers might not have a criminal history. So then they need a normal population DNA data base to determine the identity. If LE wants to go that route. IDK.

There is no right or wrong at this point in time. What might be the motive is all speculation but if not money, it could be to establish a connection with a celebrity (aka ties that bind) especially as the wellbeing of NG is presently unknown.
