AZ Nancy Guthrie, 84, (mother of TODAY Show host Savannah Guthrie) missing - last seen in the Catalina foothills area on Jan 31, 2026

I wonder if the the DNA on the gloves match the DNA found in the house?

Nope.

 

[nycpizzaparty]

Investigative genealogy on the DNA from the recovered glove? But didn’t the DNA from glove not match the DNA found in the home? They are more certain of the glove as source than the DNA found in home?

I think DNA found in the home did not match anyone in CODIS.

I think DNA in the 2 miles away globe did not match anyone in CODIS.

I believe the DNA found on home items is not the same as the DNA found on the 2 miles away glove.

If they figure out whose DNA is on the 2 miles away glove, I'm not sure how helpful that is without a link from the glove to the crime. It's probably some random person.

No bond listed is telling. I think maybe putting the pressure on this one while getting ducks in a row. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean Nancy is found or safe.

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

 

[SMK777]

I’m not surprised

@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?

A day after clearing the Guthrie family and their spouses, Sheriff Nanos tells me the people detained last week in Rio Rico and Tucson have been cleared “to a point.”More news from this interview on @abc15 tonight. Full interview will be published on http://ABC15.com

Hopefully they are pursuing IGG on the DNA from inside the house.

Say the DNA on a commonly used glove on the side of the road matched a POI or the inside of the house.

It is conceivable or possible that a worker that was in the house discarded the glove after he left. (came in house to use bathroom, discuss the job, collect payment). It is conceivable a POI that lived in the area also just detailed their Range Rover and discarded the glove. W/o Nancy's blood/DNA on the glove there is still no connection to the crime scene at all. So these gloves on the side of a road are a long shot to begin with, with no chain of custody, and being common contractor trash.

What are meths vibes? I have never seen anyone on meth (that I was aware of) so I am wondering what that looks like. Given that meth is a stimulant, I would have thought a person wouldn't look sluggish or relaxed.~~~~~~~~~~

This is something that I heard the Criminal Defense Attorney, Mark Geragos, state after the Reiner murders. He said that the murders had all the hallmarks of a "meth" murder. He went on to say that when we hear of these horrific machete killings lately, it's because the person with the machete is high on meth. Apparently, this drug makes some people horrendously violent.

I would like to also ask how often the stalker kidnaps or even harms a family member to get attention. Are there any examples that we can go off of? Don't the obsessed usually go directly for the person they are obsessed with? And, you are correct, there usually is a ton of attempts to get they're attention before they do something like this. I would assume that the FBI and criminal profilers have thought of this already, I certainly hope so anyways.

MOO I don't believe it was a stalker of SG,but I do believe that the person or persons saw an opportunity when they found out a wealthy woman was alone overnight in this exclusive neighborhood.

There may be quite a few people who have visited this home during the week for various reasons. The workers talk about their jobs -unless they signed a non-disclosure form. The wrong people figured that Nancy Guthrie would be an easy mark.

( I still wonder if there is a safe on the premises.)

 

[maskedwoman]

My guess would be the craptastic holster. No one who appreciates a gun would own one of those, IMHO.

I wouldn't even put a toy gun in that thing. LOL

 

[submarine7]

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

I wondered about that but I don't think that was the only connection or there would not have been Probable Cause in relation to Friday.

 

[desert-blue]

The arrest I see is not for this year even. So its not linked at all. Unless I dont see something.

Probably arrested for an outstanding warrant from a previous case. MOO

 

[BellaToothless]

If that's the case then it also wouldn't record the perp pulling car around driveway to garage to hide until they were ready to use it to remove NG out the front door.

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.

Agreed. I legit cannot understand why it's being discussed by LE publicly. Two mile glove is absurd.

Glove in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping Case Re-Tested in Arizona, No DNA Hit

The glove authorities found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home has been DNA tested in Florida, but there's still another step before the DNA profile can be entered in the CODIS system ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

[Former Reporter]

Are you surprised that it was revealed to the general public so quickly, that there was no CODIS match?

Unlikely, but they could be bluffing... JMO.

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

His message to "suspects"? Do they have suspects?

 

[Former Reporter]

I wonder the protocol to utilize genealogical dna from ancestry, 23andMe, etc?!

At least from Ancestry, it would take a court order.

Yeah a universal cheapo vinyl holster profiled for a 6" large frame revolver hanging low off a belt loop in some goofy approximation of appendix carry with a late gen small frame semi auto tucked in is not the way to go if your life depended on it, or if you just don't want your gun falling out w/ any real movement. You also see them in $5 dollar bins at gun stores or yard sales.

But what's also strange is having a list of 40 guys and checking gun shops. AZ is a constitutional carry state that allows face to face cash private sales with no paperwork for handguns. It is also legal to borrow a gun. I highly doubt this guy went to his LGS and filled out a 4473 to buy the gun. But given the footage we saw on the Nest cam maybe Mr. Walmart Ninja did.
