Nancy Guthrie search: DNA from gloves doesn’t match national database or DNA from home, sheriff says
DNA tested from gloves found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s house does not have any matches in the national database known as CODIS and doesn’t match DNA found at Guthrie’s home, either, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says.
DNA found at Guthrie’s property is still being analyzed, the sheriff says.
So far, the sheriff adds, nothing in the investigation has any matches in CODIS.
CODIS is the FBI-managed Combined DNA Index System, a national database that holds more than 19 million offender profiles, the agency said. Authorities have not said whether they’ve concluded the gloves are connected to the Guthrie case.
The glove visually resembled the gloves worn by a masked man seen on doorbell camera footage on Guthrie’s porch.
The glove with DNA on it was one of “approximately” 16 found near Guthrie’s home, most of which belonged to searchers who discarded them while working in the area, the FBI said in a previous statement.
Investigators are also reviewing evidence obtained through two search warrants executed last week, the sheriff said. The people detained for questioning have been released, and “no arrests have been made,” according to Nanos.
“Regarding gun shops, investigators are canvassing businesses and showing the doorbell video released by the FBI to determine whether the suspect appears familiar,” the sheriff’s department said.
