"The search for Nancy Guthrie appeared to intensify Sunday with the recovery of DNA from a glove resembling those worn by the shadowy figure who appeared on doorbell camera footage the night she went missing from her Tucson home. The DNA will be added to the Combined DNA Index System national database known as CODIS to check for a match to a known offender or forensic scene, authorities told NBC News."
"Sunday marked exactly two weeks since family members rushed to check on Guthrie after a friend told them she hadn't shown up to watch a church service online as planned and found the house empty. Guthrie had spent the previous evening, Jan. 31, with her daughter Annie and their family and was driven home at about 9:30 p.m. or shortly after."
"The glove was found in a field next to a road about 2 miles from Guthrie's home, the FBI said. It was one of about 16 gloves found scattered in the vicinity, the FBI said, though most of them had been discarded by volunteer searchers. The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video, the FBI said in a statement obtained by TMZ."
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson home after family members found the house empty about two weeks ago when she failed to join an online church service. She had been driven home late Jan. 31 after spending the evening with her daughter and family. Investigators declared the home a crime scene and are searching amid concern over her daily lifesaving medication. FBI analysis recovered DNA from a glove found about two miles from her home that appears to match gloves worn by a masked figure seen on a disconnected doorbell camera. The DNA will be entered into CODIS to look for matches.
