FBI has received DNA data from Nancy Guthrie case: sources

Investigators are using new technology on a sample that may contain DNA from more than one person, and sheriff’s officials say it could take six more months.

  • The FBI is now using advanced technology to analyze a mixed DNA sample recovered from Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home after a private Florida lab transferred the evidence, sources said on Thursday.
  • Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her Tucson residence early on Feb. 1, 2026, prompting a multiagency search involving the FBI and local law enforcement that has continued for over two months.
  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos warned that separating the DNA strands from multiple people could take six months, as his department coordinates with the FBI and several nationwide labs on the analysis.
  • Investigators hope the advanced analysis will yield a match in the Combined DNA Index System, potentially providing the breakthrough needed to identify the kidnapper in the active case.
  • Savannah Guthrie recently increased the family's reward for information to $1 million, a move that prompted a surge in tips and generated hundreds of new leads for investigators.
