in search Nancy GuthrieA former FBI agent claims the Today show host left out a key detail Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother ‘more vulnerable’ to attack. Former FBI agents Maureen O’Connell and Jim Clemente made the remarks during an episode of Brian Entine’s Investigative Show that aired on Sunday, March 8.
They discuss the potential role of elder abuse in Nancy’s disappearance. At one point, Clement observed, “I think she also has hearing problems, and she probably takes off her very powerful hearing aids at night. That makes her even more vulnerable.”

O’Connell speculated: “I also think that if she had obviously taken off her hearing aid, then this argument could have happened and they [the suspects] Give her a command and she can respond. Because she didn’t know what they were talking about. “
“It’s so sad,” she added.
DNA update
Authorities recently revealed that DNA on a glove found near Nancy’s home matched that of an employee who worked at a restaurant across the street. However, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said the restaurant worker was not connected to the investigation.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos Officials have long suspected this might be the case, and dozens of gloves were found randomly near Nancy’s Tucson home, she told KVOA.

“There was some talk and discussion that the police on the scene simply discarded [the gloves]which couldn’t be further from the truth,” Nanos said.
“We knew then and we believed wholeheartedly that these gloves belonged to a restaurant, and guess what? We found out that the owner of the gloves worked at a restaurant across the street. It had nothing to do with the case,” he added.
Nanos also explained that other gloves found near the home may have had different DNA matches.
“It’s a challenge because we know we have DNA, but now we have to deal with this mixture and how to separate it,” he said.
