Investigators hoped a glove found a couple miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home last month would provide clues to her abductor. The glove appeared similar to those worn by the masked man seen on Nancy’s doorbell camera video.
However, DNA testing confirmed the glove belongs to a restaurant employee who works nearby. The mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie has been missing since February 1.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told local outlet KVOA a DNA match was found on one of the gloves. “We believed wholeheartedly that those gloves belonged to a restaurant and guess what? The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street. It has nothing to do with the case.”
DNA from other gloves in the area is currently being tested in Florida, according to KVOA. The sheriff says the mixed DNA is making testing more challenging.
Many clues are being investigated. In late February, a couple living 2.5 miles from Nancy released new footage that FOX News acquired. In it, a car speeds by at about 2:36 a.m. on February 1. According to the sheriff’s estimates, this was approximately eight minutes after Nancy’s pacemaker last synced with her iPhone.
In video messages, the Guthries plead with the kidnappers to return their mother. In a February 24 video, Savannah announced her family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery. The FBI is also putting up a $100,000 reward. In addition, the Guthrie family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Arizona’s Pima County Sheriff’s office is working with the local FBI on this case.
The suspect on the doorbell video is “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.”
