Nancy Guthrie Investigation: No DNA Matches From Glove Found ...
Authorities continue DNA testing from multiple evidence sources to identify a suspect in the ongoing investigation of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, with no matches yet in national databases.
- Updated Feb. 18, 2026: Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are exploring investigative genetic genealogy after preliminary DNA failed to match gloves or CODIS.
- Dried blood droplets on the home's Spanish-tile entrance on Feb. 3 were confirmed as Nancy Guthrie's blood, while about 16 gloves were recovered near the property and some DNA evidence was sent to DNA Labs International, private lab in South Florida.
- Technically, CODIS and FIGG differ as CODIS holds nearly 27 million DNA profiles and examines more than 20 genetic locations, while FIGG compares a larger DNA amount using public genealogy sites.
- Investigators are awaiting results from additional DNA evidence from the Guthrie home, and the FBI is waiting for quality control before entering an 'unknown male profile' as of Feb. 17.
- The case has drawn national attention with more than 18,000 tips and a $100,000 reward, while experts warn of ethical and equity concerns about FIGG.
