The DNA from a glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Ariz., did not match records in the FBI’s database.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News Tuesday that they had no luck with trying to match the DNA in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database.
“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,” Nanos said.
“I just heard that, CODIS had no hits,” the sheriff added.
Nanos also confirmed that the DNA on the glove was different from the DNA found in Nancy’s home.
The black glove was found on a dirt path two miles from Nancy’s house amidst the ongoing search for the 84-year-old.
Authorities previously said the glove matches the one the suspect wore in the surveillance footage released by the FBI last week.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department also confirmed that the DNA doesn’t belong to anyone “close” to Nancy,
Multiple other gloves have been found by authorities near Nancy’s home.
Nancy, the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was first reported missing from her home on Feb. 1, after she failed to turn up for church services that Sunday.
She was last seen on the night of Jan. 31.
The footage, initially shared by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, shows the suspect tampering with Nancy’s home security camera.
The armed person wore gloves, a ski mask, and a backpack.
