A pair of black gloves has been recovered by investigators searching for clues in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to a report from NBC affiliate KVOA of Tucson. The gloves are being tested for traces of DNA, the report said.
KVOA also reported that residents in the Catalina Foothills where Guthrie lives have been asked to provide investigators with and doorbell camera footage between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Jan. 11.
The need for this is urgent as investigators fear the footage could be automatically overwritten and deleted if it isn’t retrieved soon, KVOA reported.
NBC News has asked the FBI and Pima County Sherriff’s Department for comment and has not received a response.

NBC affiliate KVOA of Tucson has called for anyone with information on the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie to come forward.
The station, where Savannah Guthrie once worked, hung a banner outside its office yesterday that simply read “BRING HER HOME.”
“As we’re now almost through 11 days into the search, we all want to know where she is, if she’s okay and we want to bring her home to her family,” an online story at kvoa.com said.

Detained man said he ‘felt like I was being kidnapped’
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department searched a property in Rio Rico, a community 60 miles south of Tucson, on Tuesday night and took a man into custody.
But that man, who identified himself as delivery driver Carlos Palazuelos, told reporters early yesterday that after being questioned, he was released without being arrested. Authorities confirmed that a man was detained and released as a follow-up on incoming leads. He has not been charged.
Palazuelos said he might have delivered something to Guthrie’s home at some point, but didn’t recall doing so. He said he was stopped while driving and was detained and questioned because officers thought his eyes matched those seen in the doorcam footage released by the FBI.
Palazuelos said that he doesn’t know who Guthrie is and wasn’t involved in the kidnapping.
Palazuelos said being questioned and stopped was “terrifying. Something I didn’t do. I felt like I was being kidnapped, bro. They didn’t tell me anything.”
Palazuelos confirmed his house was searched as per a warrant. His front and back door was damaged, he said.
