Authorities have found “DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her” as the investigation into her disappearance continues.
The DNA evidence was discovered and collected at her property, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in a statement with multiple media outlets on Friday, February 13.
“Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,” the update read. “We are not disclosing where that DNA was located.”
Investigators also found several gloves, with the closest discovered approximately two miles from Nancy’s home.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied that authorities found a glove at the home of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, amid her disappearance. “We have no glove. We never found a glove on that property,” Nanos told Fox News’ Matt Finn on Friday, February 13. Nanos reportedly revealed in a local news interview that “they […]
The statement also clarified speculation surrounding the location of where the glove was found.
“Reports that a glove was found inside the residence or on the property are inaccurate. All collected evidence has been submitted for laboratory analysis,” the update continued.
Us Weekly has reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for comment.
Guthrie, who is the mother of the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie, was last seen alive in Tucson, Arizona, on January 30 after enjoying dinner with family members. Police later confirmed a 911 call was made on February 1 after the 84-year-old didn’t meet up with friends to watch a church service virtually.
Authorities have not identified a person of interest or suspect in Guthrie’s disappearance. They also have not officially ruled anyone out.

Following Nancy’s disappearance Savannah, 54, and her siblings, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, have pleaded for the public’s help as they desperately try to find their mom.
In an Instagram video posted on February 4, both Savannah and Annie shared a personal message to their mom.
“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy,” Savannah said. “We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest.”
Annie added, “Nancy is our mother, we are her children. She is our beacon. She holds fast to joy and all of life’s circumstances. She chooses joy day after day despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief. We are always going to be merely human. Just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”
