What is CODIS?
The Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, is the FBI’s massive database of DNA profiles. It is considered one of the most powerful crime-solving tools in modern history.
Often, DNA samples are submitted to CODIS to determine if they will pull up matches. CODIS has 19 million offender profiles and over 1 million forensic profiles, according to the FBI. As of November, CODIS has had over 781,492 hits and assisted in over 758,000 investigations.
The system is also used to solve cold cases and exonerate people who were wrongly convicted.

What we know about the suspect
The FBI shared images Tuesday retrieved from backend systems of Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera showing a masked and armed person at her doorstep.
Just today, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News that a glove worn by the person seen in the video appears consistent with a glove recovered roughly 2 miles from Guthrie’s home.
Here’s what we know so far about the suspect in her disappearance:
The FBI has described him as a man with an average build.
He was described as being 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall.
He was also seen wearing a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

Glove found near Guthrie’s home appears to match gloves worn by suspect in doorbell camera video
FBI testing DNA found on glove consistent with type seen on Guthrie doorbell video
03:48
A glove containing DNA evidence was recovered roughly 2 miles from Guthrie’s home and appears consistent with a glove worn by a person seen in a doorbell camera video from the morning she disappeared, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
The glove was one of 16 recovered over several days in areas surrounding Guthrie’s home, the person familiar with the matter said. Investigators have determined that most of the gloves belonged to searchers combing the area for evidence.
Following some additional testing today, the person said, the DNA profile, which matches that of an unknown male, will be added to the national DNA database managed by the FBI, called CODIS, which stands for Consolidated DNA Index System.
DNA samples can be submitted to the massive database for possible matches. CODIS has 19 million offender DNA profiles and over 1 million forensic profiles, according to the FBI.
But a match would not necessarily break the Guthrie case. The FBI says the DNA matches a male, and it has not indicated a match to Guthrie. Whoever left the glove would not necessarily be a potential suspect and might not even be related to the case.
Law enforcement experts say that at best it could be a helpful lead.

Nancy Guthrie investigation enters Day 14 as authorities narrow focus
+2
The search for Guthrie stretched into its 14th day today, with investigators continuing to pursue leads after a recent court-ordered search did not result in any arrests.
Two sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News that authorities are leaning away from considering the man whose home was searched Friday night as a suspect. Investigators are also leaning away from a man named Carlos, who was stopped in a car last week, as a suspect, the sources said.
In addition, investigators are leaning away from any relatives of Guthrie as suspects, according to the sources. They cautioned that no one has been officially ruled out, and investigators continue to focus on other leads.
Law enforcement officials executed a federal search warrant at a home near Guthrie’s residence at East Orange Grove Road and North First Avenue on Friday night. Authorities confirmed that no arrests were made after the search. Deputies also conducted a traffic stop connected to the case, questioning one person, but no one was taken into custody.
