Shocking discovery in the Arizona desert: Bloodstained object less than a mile from Nancy’s home

An Arizona couple allegedly found a pair of blood-stained gloves and a rock with a dried blood droplet in the desert a mile from Nancy Guthrie’s home — days after she was reported missing, according to a report.

The couple, who asked to remain anonymous, stumbled upon the suspicious black gloves on the ground 10 feet apart off Campbell Avenue in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson on Feb. 11, KVOA reported on Friday.

“Sure enough, it was a black glove in the desert. It appeared to have looked like it was ripped. It also appeared to look like it had blood on it. There was two different colors. The blood was more towards the wrist side of the glove and on the pointer finger, it looked like it was ripped,” they told the outlet.

The pair reported the sighting to authorities, concerned the items might be related to the investigation into the purported kidnapping of 84-year-old Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” host Savannah Guthrie.

Several gloves have been found in the area around the Tucson neighborhood by investigators, possibly matching the same ones worn by an armed individual spotted outside Guthrie’s home the morning she vanished on Jan 31.“It didn’t just look like a regular glove. It looked like this was a glove used for something that could’ve possibly been what they were looking for,” the wife told the outlet.The couple didn’t dare touch either glove, fearing they could contaminate any evidence, but snapped photos and looked over the worrisome scene.

A rock, the second glove was lying on, appeared to have at least one blood splatter.

“And also from the glove it looked like a blood drop on a rock underneath the glove was like dried blood or something. We didn’t move it or touch it. We immediately were like, we have to do something. So I was like I will call the sheriff department,” the husband said.

Investigators reported to the area where the couple was questioned and then allowed to leave.

Officials had remained at the scene until 2 a.m., the outlet reported.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not say if the bloodied gloves were among the ones collected for DNA evidence, as the search for the elder Guthrie entered its 20th day Saturday.

“We cannot confirm at this time. Detectives and agents have collected multiple gloves from the area, and analysis is part of the investigation,” the department told the outlet.

DNA collected from other gloves has not matched any results in the FBI’s database, nor has any DNA evidence found inside Guthrie’s home.

Authorities had previously confirmed that the DNA on the glove was different from the DNA found in Nancy’s home.

The Post captured the moment FBI officials collected at least one glove off the side of the road, approximately one and a half miles from Guthrie’s home.

Officials said the black glove appeared to be the same kind worn by the unidentified masked suspect.

Authorities have not identified any suspects or persons of interest in Guthrie’s disappearance.
