In the ongoing investigation into the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, law enforcement officials announced on Tuesday that DNA collected from a glove located about two miles from Guthrie's home yielded no substantial leads. The DNA sample was said to belong to an unknown male and resembled the glove seen in surveillance footage from the night Guthrie went missing. Despite initial hopes that the DNA might provide leads, it was confirmed by Chris Nanos, the Pima County sheriff, that it did not match any profiles stored in the FBI's database.

Sheriff Nanos expressed a cautious optimism even in light of the disappointing news, stating that although they did not receive any matches from the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), they would take further steps by submitting the DNA sample to commercial genealogy databases. These databases might provide new avenues for investigation, as they are not limited to law enforcement profiles and may contain entries from individuals' ancestry results.

The lack of leads from this DNA evidence is a significant setback in the case of Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for an undetermined period. The continued investigation underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in abduction cases, particularly as they balance the need for timely resolution with the complexities of modern forensic science. As the investigation proceeds, authorities remain hopeful that new techniques or information might eventually lead them to solve this troubling case.
