A glove found during the search for Nancy Guthrie matches the one the suspect wore in the surveillance footage, according to an FBI spokesperson.
The FBI spokesperson told Fox News Sunday that the glove recovered contained DNA and is different from other ones that have been found at the scene.
Investigators are waiting for final lab results before uploading the DNA profile to a national database to identify the individual, the outlet reported.
On Friday, the Pima County Sheriffâs Department said that authorities recovered DNA from Guthrieâs Arizona home that doesnât belong to anyone âcloseâ to her.
âDNA other than Nancy Guthrieâs and those in close contact to her has been collected from the property. Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,â the Pima County Sheriffâs Department said in an update.
The department declined to disclose where the DNA was discovered.
A day earlier, the Pima County Sheriffâs Office said that they had ârecovered several items of evidence,â including a suspicious black glove found Wednesday, which was being âsubmitted for analysis ⊠as part of the investigative process.â
The Post was first to report news of the glove, which the FBI discovered on a dirt path near Nancyâs house.
Guthrie, 84, was last seen Jan. 31 and has now been missing for over two weeks.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos admitted that the search for Guthrie could take âyears.â
The sheriff promised that his team would remain dedicated to finding Guthrie after hitting several dead ends in the investigation.
âMaybe itâs an hour from now,â Nanos told the New York Times on Friday. âMaybe itâs weeks or months or years from now. But we wonât quit. Weâre going to find Nancy. Weâre going to find this guy.â
Meanwhile, Guthrieâs youngest child, âTodayâ anchor Savannah Guthrie, will remain in Tucson, Ariz., and off the NBC morning show for the âforeseeable futureâ amid the search, sources told Page Six.
âThe entire show and network is rallying together in support of our beloved colleague and friend as we navigate this unimaginable time,â an NBC source told Page Six.Â
