Hope Dashed in Nancy Guthrie Investigation

A glove found two miles from Nancy Guthrie‘s home has failed to match DNA found inside her property, investigators announced.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Tuesday that the glove offered no new leads as it also failed to match the CODIS criminal database – a national archive of all DNA from arrestees nationwide.

The glove was found on Sunday and had been briefly regarded as the best piece of evidence in the ongoing search for the 84-year-old mother of Today Show star Savannah Guthrie.

The black nitrile glove appeared to match one worn by a masked suspect seen on Nancy’s doorbell camera just before her disappearance in the early hours of February 1.

In an X post addressing the latest testing, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said investigators also obtained ‘additional DNA evidence’ from Nancy’s home which is still to be analyzed.

The setback comes as the hunt for Nancy has entered its third week with no arrests or suspects named in the investigation.

She was last seen on the evening of January 31 entering her home in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, Arizona. Her pacemaker disconnected from an Apple Watch at her home hours later.

Frustrations surrounding the investigation have heaped pressure on Nanos, who has come under scrutiny for his handling of the case amid allegations he made crucial errors in the first hours of the search.

While the glove had raised investigators’ hopes, NBC’s Today tempered expectations before it failed to find a DNA match.

DNA expert CeCe Moore told the program that the glove was unlikely to snare a suspect, and told viewers not to get their hopes up for an ‘aha moment’.

‘In my opinion, it’s not. It’s really too far from the crime scene,’ Moore answered.

‘My biggest question is, have they found DNA from an unknown male inside that house?’

Authorities said they also uncovered 16 gloves scattered in various locations around the home, most of which were found to belong to investigators combing the scene.

The failure to match the glove to a suspect comes exactly one week after authorities arrested delivery driver Carlos Palazuelos in connection with the case before  releasing him without charge hours later.

His brief detention last Tuesday brought public humiliation to the investigation as he angrily denied having anything to do with Nancy’s abduction.

On Friday Pima County SWAT officers raided a home two miles from Nancy’s, but no-one was detained.

Around the same time, FBI agents stopped a Range Rover Sport and spoke to its driver, but he too was released without charge.

The FBI said it has received more than 13,000 tips, while the Pima County Sheriff’s Department reported taking at least 18,000 calls related to the case that have generated between 40,000 and 50,000 leads.

Authorities have also publicly cleared Nancy Guthrie’s family members as possible suspects, calling them victims in the case.

That includes Nancy’s son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, who previously faced unfounded online speculation about whether he was involved in the disappearance.

In a video message posted to Instagram on Sunday night, Savannah pleaded directly with whoever may be holding her mother.

‘It is never too late to do the right thing,’ Guthrie said. ‘And we are here. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being, that it’s never too late.’

A BIood-Stained Glove Found Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home? Nearly 20 days after Nancy Guthrie vanished, a chilling discovery is raising new questions. A Tucson couple says they found a torn black glove — stained with what appeared to be dried blood — less than a mile from the 84-year-old’s Catalina Foothills home. The glove was lying in the desert. Blood near the wrist. More on the finger. And beneath it, what looked like a drop of dried blood on a rock. They say they didn’t touch a thing.

Now, the Texas Department of Public Safety Ranger Division is leading an active investigation. Was it self-defense in a chaotic, split-second crisis? Why wasn’t federal involvement disclosed earlier? And has the agent been placed on administrative leave? Authorities say the injured agent suffered a knee injury. Officials insist the shooting was justified. But as more details emerge, scrutiny is intensifying over what really happened in those tense moments on one of Texas’ busiest spring break weekends. A crowded island. A vehicle surging forward. An agent on the hood. And a shooting that’s only now coming fully into focus.

Among those lost: sisters Liz Clabaugh and Caroline Sekar, along with Carrie Atkin, Danielle Keatley, Kate Morse, and Kate Vitt — women whose families say they were passionate, skilled, and deeply connected by the mountains they loved. Now investigators are asking hard questions. Avalanche warnings had been issued. The tour company had posted cautions. What happened in those final moments? Were there signs no one could see? Experts say survival chances plummet after 15 minutes under the snow. For the families, there are still “many unanswered questions.” For the backcountry community, there’s something even harder: how do you return to the place that once made you feel most alive — when it’s also where you lost the people you love?

Powerful winds may push ocean water inland, raising the threat of coastal flooding from New Jersey through Long Island and into southern New England — with peak impacts lining up with high tide. This could be New York City’s first foot-plus snowstorm in more than five years. The forecast track has shifted for days. Now it’s locked in. The question isn’t whether this storm will hit — it’s how hard. Are you ready for what’s coming Sunday night?

Nancy Guthrie — mother of TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie — was last seen January 31, dropped off at home just before 10 p.m. Authorities believe she was taken in the middle of the night. No motive. No named suspect. Not yet. But behind the scenes, the pressure is building — and investigators say the pieces are starting to come together. What really happened inside that house after 1:47 a.m.?

Six survived. Eight were confirmed dead. One is still missing. Among the victims: a tight-knit circle of women — mothers, sisters, lifelong friends — described by their families as “passionate, skilled skiers who cherished time together in the mountains.” They were experienced. They were trained. They were fully equipped with avalanche gear. They had spent two nights in the Frog Lake huts before beginning their return. Somewhere along the way, something went catastrophically wrong. Rescuers deployed Sno-Cats and helicopters. Survivors built makeshift shelters from tarps and, in a heartbreaking act of courage, uncovered three of their friends before help arrived. The rest were found beneath the snow. Now investigators are asking difficult questions: Why did the group choose that route? Did shifting snow conditions create a hidden trap? Was this tragedy unavoidable — or preventable?
