The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has taken a critical turn after search teams discovered a glove in the desert near Tucson, Arizona. Found more than two weeks after she vanished from her home, the glove is believed to be a potentially vital piece of evidence. Authorities noted similarities between the recovered item and one worn by a masked individual captured on security footage outside Guthrie’s residence before she disappeared.
Forensic experts are analyzing the glove for DNA, confirming that genetic material recovered differs from samples previously collected at the scene. Once verified, the profile will be entered into national databases to search for matches. Meanwhile, investigators are reviewing surveillance footage, cell tower data, and electronic signals to reconstruct the timeline.
Federal agencies have increased the reward for information, and search teams continue combing the rugged terrain. Officials remain hopeful that forensic breakthroughs will provide answers and help bring Nancy Guthrie home.
