The desperate search for Nancy Guthrie is now in its third week, with investigators hoping for a break in a baffling case that they appear no closer to solving.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday that it is pursuing genealogical leads based on partial DNA recovered from the 84-year-old’s home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson, Ariz. DNA recovered from gloves found about 2 miles away turned up no matches in the FBI’s national database. The gloves appeared to match those worn by the suspect seen in the video taken from Guthrie’s doorbell camera on the morning she was reported missing, according to police.
The sheriff’s department also said it is working with Walmart to identify who purchased the backpack worn by the person in the footage, as well as the manufacturers of Guthrie’s pacemaker in an effort to locate the device.

On Monday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said all members of the Guthrie family, including Nancy Guthrie’s adult children and their spouses, have been cleared as suspects.
“To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel,” Nanos said in a statement. “The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.”
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show cohost Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at around 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her home by family members following dinner, police said. She was reported missing around noon the next day after she did not show up at a friend’s house to watch an online church service.
Officials say they have received tens of thousands of tips since the investigation into her disappearance began. Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900 or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
