In mid-February, two weeks after Nancy Guthrie mysteriously vanished in the early morning hours, a glove was found two miles from her Tucson, Ariz., home that looked similar to the ones a masked man was seen wearing on surveillance footage from her front porch.
The glove was tested for DNA, with many hoping it would lead to clues as to who took the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie — and why.
In an interview with local outlet KVOA, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that investigators were able to find a match to the DNA found on one of the gloves.
“There was some talk and discussion that it was police officers out in the field just discarding [the gloves], that is so far from the truth,” Nanos told the outlet.
“We knew that at that time, we believed wholeheartedly that those gloves belonged to a restaurant and guess what? The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street,” Nanos said.
“It has nothing to do with the case,” Nanos said, per the outlet.
He did not specify which restaurant the person works at or if investigators questioned that individual.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department later posted to X on March 4 confirming that the individual is “not part of this investigation.”
Nanos also told KVOA that other gloves sent to a Florida lab could be different and DNA testing could take a while.
“It’s a challenge because we know we have DNA, but now we have to deal with that mixture and how we’re going to separate it,” Nanos said, according to the outlet.
Nancy was taken from her Tucson, Ariz., home in the early morning hours of Sunday, Feb. 1, police said.
Her family called 911 at 12:03 p.m. that day after the mother of three failed to join friends to watch a virtual church service.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office, later joined by the FBI, launched a massive investigation into Nancy’s disappearance, saying they believed she was taken against her will.
Concern for Nancy deepened when Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that blood spatter found on the front porch belonged to her.
Even more chilling were Nest camera surveillance photos and video footage authorities released on Feb. 10 showing a masked, armed man on Nancy’s front porch in the early morning hours of Feb. 1.
The FBI Phoenix office shared additional details describing the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack” that may have been purchased at Walmart.
Investigators revealed that Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m., local time. Shortly after, at 2:12 a.m., the camera detected a dark figure walking toward the house. Sixteen minutes later, at 2:28 a.m., Guthrie’s pacemaker was disconnected from the pacemaker app on her cellphone, authorities said.
Law enforcement worked tirelessly to try to find Nancy, to no avail.
In late February, however, a couple who live on a back road about 2.5 miles from Nancy’s home released new footage, obtained by FOX News, showing a car speeding down the road minutes after police believe she was abducted.
One of the videos the couple released was recorded at around 2:36 a.m. on Feb. 1, about eight minutes after Nancy’s pacemaker last synced with her iPhone, according to the sheriff’s timeline.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office told FOX News and NBC News they are aware of the newly released Ring camera footage, but didn’t say whether the footage will help the case.
Since their mother went missing, Savannah and her siblings have been awaiting any word about what happened to her.

On Feb. 24, Savannah released an emotional new video saying the Guthrie family is offering up to a $1 million reward for any information leading to Nancy’s recovery. The family is also donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The FBI’s $100,000 reward for information remains active.
Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is asked to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
