As the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its third week, a Tucson couple may have provided new clues to authorities’ investigation. A pair of blood-stained gloves and a rock with drops of dried blood were allegedly found in the desert near the 84-year-old’s home. Neither the Pima County Sheriff’s Department nor the Guthrie family commented on the new discovery.
New clues in Nancy Guthrie case?
The anonymous couple stumbled upon the gloves on Feb. 11 about 10 feet off Campbell Avenue in Catalina Foothills, Tucson, KVOA reported Friday. They said the gloves appeared to be torn and had blood on them.
“Sure enough, it was a black glove in the desert. It looked like it was torn. There appeared to be blood on it. Two different colors. The blood was more on the wrist side of the glove, and on the index finger, it looked like it was torn,” they told the outlet.
The pair later reported the discovery to authorities.
Days earlier, authorities released doorbell video from Guthrie’s residence. A masked armed man can be seen disconnecting the camera. He has not yet been identified. No arrests have been made in the case.
The DNA evidence found at Guthrie’s residence is still undergoing laboratory analysis, the Sheriff’s Department said, noting that it is the same biological evidence previously recovered from the property and is not newly discovered material.
Earlier this week, a DNA profile obtained from a glove found about two miles from the home did not match a DNA profile in the FBI’s national database.
“Doesn’t look like a regular glove”
“It looked like more than just a regular glove. It looked like the glove might have been used to do what they were looking for,” the wife told KVOA. Instead of touching gloves, the couple clicked pictures.
“From the glove, there was blood dripping on the rock underneath the glove, like dried blood or something. We didn’t move it or touch it. We immediately thought, we have to do something. So I thought I’d call the Sheriff’s Department,” Husband said.
The latest from Savannah Guthrie
Meanwhile, “Today” host Savannah Guthrie may not return to the show following her mother’s disappearance, multiple TV veterans told Status News.
“There’s no way Savannah is coming back,” a source told the outlet. “I can’t imagine she would want to.”
