The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on Friday, Feb. 13, that “DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her has been collected from the property”
The PCSD is “not ruling out any individuals or possibilities”
The DNA allegedly did not belong to Nancy or her “close contacts”
DNA evidence not belonging to Nancy Guthrie or her “close contacts” was found at her home, police say.

We are not disclosing where that DNA was located.”
Police also said that “several gloves” have been found during their investigation, with the closest gloves being found approximately two miles from the home.
“Reports that a glove was found inside the residence or on the property are inaccurate. All collected evidence has been submitted for laboratory analysis,” the PCSD added, before noting that “investigators are not ruling out any individuals or possibilities.”

The FBI’s Phoenix office described the suspect as a “male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack,” per a post on X shared Feb. 12.
Sharing photos and videos of the suspect in an Instagram post, Savannah urged her followers to help identify the person, writing that someone may recognize them. “We believe she is still out there. Bring her home,” she wrote.
