A black glove recovered about two miles from her house did not match any in the federal DNA database, nor did separate DNA recovered from her home. Blood spatters located on Guthrie’s doorstep were confirmed to belong to the missing woman.

Arizona authorities continue search for evidence near Nancy Guthrie’s home — even canvassing in ‘middle of the night’: neighbors
TUCSON, Ariz. — Authorities continued canvassing Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood on foot and interviewing her neighbors Thursday — 19 days into their desperate search for the missing grandmother.
The Post observed as a Pima County Sheriff Department officer, clad in a bulletproof vest, spent nearly 20 minutes closely searching the desert area surrounding a home located just over half a mile from Nancy’s Catalina Foothills house.
A man who later came out of the house said the officer had asked him “general questions” about the suspected abduction case, but declined to say whether the cop showed him any photos of potential suspects.
“They’re just interviewing the neighborhood,” he said.
Last week, hundreds of local officers and FBI agents turned out to canvass the area surrounding the missing 84-year-old’s home and a nearby neighborhood where her daughter, Annie Guthrie, lives with her husband Tommaso Cioni.
But recently, their search hours have extended past sundown, according to another neighbor, Mike Bishop, who told The Post that federal officers have been searching Nancy’s neighborhood on foot “in the middle of the night.”
Authorities have yet to make any arrests and maintain they have no viable leads in the devastating case.

Trump slams Nancy Guthrie investigation, but urges focus on ‘other subjects’
President Trump slammed the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance Thursday, but told reporters that it’s time to cover “other subjects” after weeks of intense focus on the apparent kidnapping.
Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since Feb. 1, when a masked man was filmed at her Tucson-area home’s front door.
Trump said he was perplexed by the fact that authorities informed the media they would be flying aircraft equipped with Bluetooth technology to detect Guthrie’s pacemaker.

“I didn’t like when they talked about going after the pacemaker before they even started going after it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Georgia.
“If in fact they could do it that way, the person would say, ‘Well, I’m not going to let that happen’… I can’t imagine why they would have done that, just in terms of strategy.”
Trump added: “We have to start reporting on other subjects also and see what happens. It’s a very sad situation,”
The FBI has assisted in the case but has not commandeered the investigation amid alleged missteps by local law enforcement.
Trump told The Post Monday that he wants Guthrie’s captors to face the death penalty if she is not returned alive.

Nancy Guthrie’s longtime Tucson church mourns ‘grave evil’ done to her in Ash Wednesday service
Nancy Guthrie’s longtime church in Tucson, Arizona, mourned the “grave evil” done to the missing grandmother, her “Today” show co-host daughter and their family during its Ash Wednesday service.
“Upon reflection, we’ve been doing a lot of mourning here at St. Andrew’s, and if we’re honest with ourselves and we’re honest to God, it’s a bit vexing, a bit perplexing,” Pastor John Tittle said at one point during the service Wednesday evening at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.
“These last several weeks, we’ve been mourning the grave evil done to Nancy Guthrie and her family. I don’t really have any explanations, I don’t have any answers why this has happened. And when you think about it, even if we did, we’d still have the loss, wouldn’t we?” the pastor continued.

“It’s a mystery.”
Guthrie, 84, reportedly worshipped at the church, a 12-minute drive from her Catalina Foothills home, for nearly 30 years before starting to watch livestreamed church services at a friend’s house starting during the pandemic.
She was reported missing on Feb. 1, after friends from that group raised alarm bells when she failed to turn up at their normal Sunday gathering. Authorities have not made any arrests in the case.
The pastor offered words of advice for mourning congregants and members of the tight-knit community.
“In times like these, we hold onto this second Beatitude of Jesus: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted,” he vowed.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the religious tradition of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, fasting and reflecting.

Felon briefly detained in SWAT raid denies ties to Nancy Guthrie kidnapping: ‘No link whatsoever’
A convicted felon was briefly detained with his mother in a SWAT raid linked to Nanc
A convicted felon has confirmed being briefly detained with his mother in a SWAT raid over Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance — while denying any connection to the suspected abduction.
Luke Daley, 37, and his 77-year-old mom were whisked away on Feb. 13 when FBI agents and a local a SWAT team swarmed their home just two miles from where Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom is believed to have been kidnapped from bed in Tucson, Arizona.
Daley was subject to two warrants, one on his mother’s house and another on his Range Rover, according to his attorney, Chris Scileppi, who insisted the pair had “no link” to Guthrie’s disappearance.

FBI contacted Mexican authorities about ‘purchase’ related to Guthrie: report
The FBI contacted Mexican authorities in the state of Sonora, which borders Arizona, about an alleged “purchase” made related to Nancy Guthrie’s case, a Mexican security official told the New York Times.
That lead, however, “has already been ruled out” by the FBI, the official said.
Sources told The Post Wednesday that authorities had extended their investigation into Mexico, which is just about an hour south from where Guthrie was abducted from her home in Tucson.
The search went international after TMZ received a supposed ransom note claiming that the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie is being held “south of the border.”
The FBI has not confirmed it was searching for Guthrie in Mexico.

New technology, legal challenges delay Nancy Guthrie investigation: sheriff
Sheriff Chris Nanos said the probe into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance was being slowed by legal challenges of the vast array of new tech being used.
“The challenge is the fact that there’s so much technology out there, it becomes, you have to, one, be careful of the legalities of that technology and how you’re using it in the ways you use it.” Nanos told News 13.
“At the ground level, they’re constantly moving, and they’re picking up on stuff. But at my level, working with the county attorney, the U.S. Attorneys, the FBI here, the S.A.C.s, we have to kind of be careful as to how we step that because we are still involved in a criminal case and there are certain parameters that you have to take safeguards to make that case a solid case,” the sheriff said amid criticism of his stewardship of the investigation.
That technology includes a high-tech Bluetooth signal detector, also known as a signal sniffer, in an attempt to locate a signal from Guthrie’s pacemaker.

Sheriff Chris Nanos accused of turning Nancy Guthrie case into bungling ego trip — and FBI is desperate to take over
TUCSON, Ariz. — The hunt for Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, has been doomed by Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos’ ego and his vendetta against the FBI, according to a rising chorus of critics.
The high-profile case has seen missteps like leaving Nancy Guthrie’s house unguarded in the hours after the crime, baffling press interviews and a protracted investigation that so far has yielded no clear suspects or strong leads after more than two weeks.

The reward for information about Nancy Guthrie assumed abduction has more than doubled to $202,500 after a mystery donor matched the initial $100,000 as the desperate search continues for a 19th day Thursday.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced Wednesday that the local attorney’s office tip line, 88-CRIME, received the six-figure donation — dramatically increasing the paltry $2,500 reward that was being offered by local officials, according to a press release obtained by the Independent.

Cameras followed the department’s patrol deputies, night detectives, and members of the DUI unit as they responded to incidents across the county to film the show’s first and second seasons back-to-back in 2025.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos does not star in the series, but he closely worked with producers to facilitate its filming, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
