Feb. 17 (UPI) — The DNA on a glove found Nancy Guthrie’s home was not a match to anyone in the federal DNA database, police said Tuesday.

Guthrie, 84, is the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. She has been missing from her home since Jan. 31 and was reported missing after she failed to show up the next morning to watch a live stream of a church service at a friend’s house.

“We’re hopeful that we’re always getting closer, but the news now, I think, is we had heard this morning that, of course, the DNA on the glove that was found two miles away was submitted for CODIS. And I just heard that CODIS had no hits,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told KARE 11 News.

The glove DNA was sent through the Combined DNA Index System, which is managed by the FBI. CODIS is a national DNA database that has more than 19 million profiles of offenders.

“There is additional DNA evidence that was found at the residence, and that is also being analyzed,” Nanos said.

There were about 16 gloves found near Guthrie’s home, and most of the gloves belonged to searchers who discarded them while in the area.

Investigators are also reviewing evidence taken via two search warrants from last week, CNN reported the sheriff said. All those detained for questioning have been released, Nanos said.

Police are “canvassing businesses and showing the doorbell video released by the FBI to determine whether the suspect appears familiar,” the sheriff’s department said in response to questions about gun shops.

On Monday, police confirmed that no members of Guthrie’s family are suspects and that the family have been “100 percent cooperative” in the investigation.

“Not one single person in the family is a suspect,” Nanos said. “Effective today, you guys need to knock it off. Quit. People are hurting — they are victims.”

He added that police took their phones and computers, and processed their vehicles and homes.

Feb. 14 (UPI) — Investigators announced finding DNA evidence on the property of Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home that does not belong to her or anyone close to her, in addition to impounding a Range Rover SUV on Saturday.

No arrests have been made in the case two weeks since Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson home, but investigators worked from Friday night into the early morning hours on Saturday after discovering the DNA sample on her property.

A Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman on Friday confirmed the DNA discovery but said they do not know to whom it belongs.

“Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,” the sheriff’s department acknowledged, while declining to reveal where it was found.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed “law enforcement activity” was underway at 11:47 p.m. MST Friday at a home near Guthrie’s in the Catalina Foothills and at the home of her older daughter and her husband.

Nearby roads were closed for four hours while investigators were in the area and reopened early Saturday morning.

Investigators also were seen examining a gray Range Rover SUV at a nearby Culver’s restaurant and towed it away after sealing its rear liftgate.

The sheriff’s department said an update on the matter would be made soon.

While the investigation continues, Nanos denied reports accusing the sheriff’s department of withholding evidence from the FBI.

“That’s absolutely crazy,” he told a Fox News reporter on Friday.

“We don’t withhold information from anybody that’s going to help us,” he said. “Why would we do that? There are no egos here. This is all about finding Nancy.”

He said local investigators and FBI agents are working closely together and invited the reporter to see for himself.

“They are there every minute of the day,” Nanos said. “They want to find her.”

The FBI earlier in the week doubled its reward to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie’s location and said the suspect is a male who is between 5 feet, 9 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall.

The suspect was wearing an Ozark Trails backpack when Guthrie’s doorbell camera recorded his actions on her porch on the morning that she went missing.

Guthrie is the mother of NBC Today host Savannah Guthrie.

THREE people were detained after a Swat team descended on a home near the Tucson home of missing Nancy Guthrie, reports say.

The Friday night operation unfolded about two miles from Guthrie’s property as members of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant, reportedly acting on a tip.

Two men – along with one of their mothers – were taken into custody, a local police told Fox News Digital.

It’s unclear whether any of those detained are considered suspects.

Late Friday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department posted on X that a statement would be “forthcoming,” but did not specify what the announcement would address.

The SWAT operation came just hours after investigators recovered DNA evidence from someone not known to be “close” to Guthrie at her property.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed the unidentified DNA – discovered on the missing 84-year-old’s Tucson property – is now central to the probe.

He declined to say where inside the home it was found.

A MYSTERIOUS black glove has been found near Nancy Guthrie’s home as investigations into her suspected kidnapping continues.

FBI agents discovered the potentially major clue during a wide-scale search around the home where TV star Savannah Guthrie‘s mom is believed to have been snatched.

Detectives found the single glove along a roadside about one and a half miles away from Nancy’s home in Tucson.

Online sleuths were quick to point out the glove resembles the pair worn by a masked man caught on video approaching Nancy’s home before she vanished.

The FBI Evidence Response team pulled the glove from low, desert shrubbery.

Savannah‘s mother, Nancy, 84, was taken from her home sometime in the early morning hours of February 1 and has been missing ever since.

What we know about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance…

---

TMZ founder Harvey Levin has revealed the disturbing details of a third letter he received related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

He said the author demanded Bitcoin in exchange for the identity of the kidnapper.

Speaking with Fox News on Wednesday morning, Levin said, “We got, kind of a bizarre letter, an email from somebody who says they know who the kidnapper is and that they have tried reaching Savannah’s sister Annie and Savannah’s brother, to no avail.

“And they said they want one Bitcoin sent to a Bitcoin address that we have confirmed is active.

“It’s a real Bitcoin address, and as they put it, time is more than relevant.

“So we have no idea whether this is real or not. But they are making a demand.”

Chilling surveillance captured a masked and armed intruder tampering with a camera outside Nancy’s home the night she was kidnapped.

The videos show the individual ripping plants from the property and using it to block the camera just hours before the 84-year-old mother was taken from her bed.

The individual was cloaked in a ski mask and dressed in a jacket and pants, along with black gloves and a backpack.

In the first video shared by authorities, the subject was seen walking slowly toward the front door, with a hunched-over back, covering the camera while appearing to look around.

The individual then stepped back, searched the ground, stepped off the front porch, and pulled a plant from the lawn.

In a second clip, the plant appears to be shoved in front of the camera, obscuring the view as the individual holds what appears to be a flashlight inside their mouth.

Investigators have made it clear they haven’t identified a person of interest or suspect, and called the individual a subject.

In a statement shared along with the footage, the Pima County Sheriff’s and the FBI begged for tip and asked anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov.

Hours after the footage was released, a delivery driver was detained and questioned about Nancy, but he was ultimately released.

The man, Carlos Palazuelos, spoke with reporters at his home in Rio Rico and insisted he was innocent, claiming to have no clue who the Guthries were.

RANSOM NOTES

Nancy was last seen on January 31 after she was dropped off by her son in law following a family dinner.

Authorities have stressed that every moment she’s missing is crucial, as she suffers from heart issues that require daily medication.

Several newsrooms have reported getting apparent ransom notes demanding millions from the Guthrie family for Nancy’s safe return.

Two deadlines details in the notes have passed, and the mom is still nowhere to be found, despite Savannah agreeing publicly to pay.

The dead ends have prompted Savannah to beg the public for help keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

“We are at an hour of desperation,” she said in a video on Monday.

Speaking about Trump, she added: “But I think in terms of the news cycle, the fact that you have a president who is tweeting eight different things, eight different stories, eight different things to follow up … it’s like drinking out of a fire hose right now for us.”

SAVANNAH Guthrie’s sister Annie has been spotted looking somber days after their mother Nancy was abducted from her home in the middle of the night.

In The U.S. Sun’s exclusive photos, Today host Savannah‘s big sister Annie, 56, resurfaced outside her Tucson, Arizona home as friends and family members surrounded her in the aftermath of matriarch Nancy’s sinister disappearance.

On Wednesday, Annie, who wore a white button-up shirt and dark sunglasses, was seen jumping into a white Toyota Camry.

The car was driven by a man believed to be her brother Camron, who appears to have flown in from his home in Vermont.

Offering more support, a female friend held what appeared to be board games as she stepped outside the home’s gate.

According to an onlooker, at least three security guards were also seen surveilling Annie’s home, which sits just four miles away from Nancy’s Tucson-area property.

What we know about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance…

On Tuesday, Annie was spotted for the first time since Nancy’s disappearance on a drive with her husband, Tommaso Cioni.

Despite rumors floating around, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has declared there are currently no suspects in the case.

NANCY’S LAST MOVEMENTS

Annie and Tommaso are believed to be the last people to have seen Nancy before she vanished and was declared missing on Sunday morning.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed Tommaso dropped her off at home around 9:45 pm. on Saturday evening.

He waited to make sure that she got inside, as she suffers from physical disabilities, Nanos added.

Nancy had been spending the evening with her daughter Annie’s family for dinner.

But in the morning, Annie got a call from a church parishioner who said Nancy had never arrived for service.

At noon, the family called 911 to officially report her missing, and she has not been seen since.

Nancy’s wallet, phone and watch were all found in her home.

Cops discovered blood splattered outside the front door, and called the property a “crime scene.”

‘SHOCKED’ NEIGHBORS

Police have said they consider the case to be an abduction, and claim she was taken from her home in the middle of the night.

Nancy’s neighbor, Brett McInti, spotted helicopters on Sunday morning, and immediately knew something was terribly wrong.

Brett told The U.S. Sun he was “shocked and saddened” upon hearing about Nancy’s abduction.

Savannah is currently in Arizona assisting with the search efforts, and stepped down from her duties as Today anchor and Winter Olympics correspondent. (She was replaced by former tennis pro Mary Carillo in Milan.)

President Donald Trump reached out to Savannah on Wednesday in a phone call to offer support.

TODAY bosses have beefed up police and security presence at the NBC morning show’s NYC studio after co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother was allegedly abducted from her home.

Multiple sources have exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the network made the decision for the health and safety of their Today talent and crew members out of an “abundance of caution.”

Beloved Today host Savannah‘s mother Nancy, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on Sunday morning, February 1.

Local police said they believe she was abducted against her will, and have not revealed any suspects days later.

“Things are tense at the studio, and that as a result, NBC has stepped up security for on-air talent,” a source told The U.S. Sun, though it’s unclear if Savannah, 54, or any Today hosts were also targeted by the perpetrators.

“NBC has partnered with the NYPD to make sure their staff remains safe, out of an abundance of caution.”

A separate insider confirmed both cops and private security are stationed at the midtown studio and offices.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to the NYPD and NBC for comment.

SAVANNAH’S SUPPORT TEAM

Savannah’s Today colleagues have been sending her love and prayers as they address the devastating case on air.

“Sending our love, my friend,” Sheinelle Jones said on Monday.

Craig Melvin called the story “deeply personal,” and delivered Savannah’s first message to fans about the tragedy.

“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and messages of support,” the statement read.

“Right now, our focus remains on he safe return of our dear mom.”

Jenna Bush Hager, Savannah’s longtime close friend, held back tears as she discussed the news on live TV.

“We are thinking of our dearest, dearest Savannah and her whole family this morning,” she said.

MYSTERY DEEPENS

The FBI has joined the search for Nancy, and addressed the public at a press conference on Tuesday.

Special Agent Jon Edwards insisted the FBI is doing “everything in their power to bring Nancy Guthrie home to her family.”

“We’re downloading and analyzing cellphones, obtaining cell tower information, conducting interviews, and providing any and all investigative support that the sheriff’s department needs,” he said.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos then admitted “we’re stumped,” adding they do not currently have any strong leads in the case.

A possible ransom note was reported by TMZ, and cops said they are “taking all tips and leads very seriously.”

Though there were reportedly signs of forced entry at Nancy’s suburban Tucson home, police have said they don’t believe a robbery was behind the abduction.

“I wish somebody would call us and say, ‘Hey,’ because that’s what the family wants,” Sheriff Nanos told Us Weekly.

“They just want her back. ‘Hey, no questions asked, call us where to come and get her, and we’ll do that.”

Nancy reportedly left her iPhone, watch, car and wallet at home.

A splatter of blood belonging to Nancy was also found on the property.

‘BELIEVE IN PRAYER’

Savannah recently posted another statement to her Instagram, asking fans to continue their prayers.

“We believe in prayer. We believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. we believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him,” she said.

Savannah’s husband, Michael Feldman, also spoke out about the tragic case.

Michael told Page Six that he feels “mostly unhelpful” in the disappearance.

He thanked the media’s “thoughtfulness” in their coverage.

Members of the public with any information are urged to call 911 or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.

THE disappearance of the mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie is being investigated as a crime scene as investigators race against time to locate the 84-year-old.

Nancy Guthrie, the elderly mother of the beloved morning host, has limited mobility and is in dire need of her daily medication, which if she does not take could be fatal, police said.

“We need her back. We need to find her and time is very critical,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a morning press conference on Monday.

Guthrie was last seen at around 9:45 pm on Saturday after her children dropped her off at her home in Tucson, Arizona, authorities said.

Nanos said the department received a distressing call at noon on Sunday informing them of Guthrie’s disappearance.

The sheriff said evidence recovered from Guthrie’s home was “concerning” to authorities, who are now investigating the case as a “crime scene.”

“As I said yesterday, we saw some things at the home that were concerning to us,” Nanos added.

“We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime, and we’re asking the community’s help.”

The sheriff did not disclose additional evidence about why investigators are probing Guthrie’s disappearance as a crime.

Nanos said he was “not ruling out” foul play.

A neighbor of Guthrie told the Daily Mail that the community fears the elderly woman could have been “abducted.”

“We heard that the front door was left open,” neighbor Paul Arnaud told the outlet, adding that he heard Guthrie “vanished shortly after being dropped off from a church function by a friend” on Saturday evening.

“So a lot of us are worried that it was an abduction because they did a thorough search throughout the entire day and early evening of the entire area and they could not find her.”

RACE AGAINST TIME

Guthrie suffers from physical ailments, Nanos said, adding that she could not walk 50 yards by herself.

She is also in need of her daily medication, which if she does not take within 24 hours could be fatal.

“She needs her daily medication and anybody that sees anything that even looks, maybe that’s her, just take a quick picture, take a video, send it to us,” the sheriff added.

Despite Guthrie’s “limited” mobility, Nanos stressed the 84-year-old is of “great sound mind” and does not suffer from cognitive impairments.

“She is as sharp as a tack. This is not somebody who just wandered off. Her physical limits are just based on age. It’s more physical. She is clearly as sharp as a tack,” said Nanos.

He said evidence from the home suggests Guthrie did not “voluntarily walk out of her home.”

SAVANNAH’S PAIN

Guthrie’s family, including her daughter, Savannah, have been cooperating with Pima County Sheriff officials.

Savannah Guthrie skipped Monday’s edition of the Today show amid her mother’s disappearance.

The Today co-anchor, 54, released a statement during the show, saying, “On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom.”

Savannah is on the ground working with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department in its attempt to locate her mom, Nanos said.

The search effort included volunteers on the ground, drones, K9 units, and a helicopter, said the sheriff.

“We’ve pretty much just thrown everything at this that we can,” he added.

During the 10 am block, a shaky-voiced Jenna Bush Hager opened by saying Savannah’s mother was still missing.

“We are thinking of our dearest, dearest Savannah and her whole family this morning,” Jenna said.

Savannah’s new co-host, Sheinelle Jones, recapped the information thus far on the case, and added that Guthrie has medication she needs to take daily.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Border Patrol agents are assisting with the search.

The FBI is also on standby, although the federal agency has not officially joined the search effort.

Guthrie is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

It’s unknown what she was last wearing when she disappeared.
