FBI Investigates DNA Evidence in Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie
Tucson, Arizona – The FBI is analyzing DNA recovered from a glove found near the home of Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona residence on February 1, 2026. The investigation is focused on identifying an individual captured on security camera footage appearing to tamper with a camera at Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.
According to FBI statements,investigators collected approximately 16 gloves in the vicinity of Guthrie’s home. Most were identified as discarded search gloves used by teams combing the area. Though, one glove yielded a DNA profile distinct from the others and appears to match the gloves worn by the individual seen in the surveillance footage.
“We’ve gotten DNA back,” stated a spokesperson for the investigation. “so that’s of use. Now [we] have to go through and try to eliminate people or make people.”
The glove was sent to a private lab in Florida for analysis on Thursday evening and arrived Friday. Preliminary results were received by the FBI on Saturday, and the bureau was awaiting quality control confirmation on Sunday before entering the unknown male DNA profile into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a national DNA database maintained by the FBI. The bureau anticipates this process will take approximately 24 hours from the time of submission.
The investigation remains ongoing.
