FBI Reviews New DNA Sample from Nancy Guthrie's Home Using Advanced Technology
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently analyzing a new DNA sample recovered from the home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing for over two months. According to reports from ABC News and NewsNation, the evidence, which includes hair, was sent by a private Florida laboratory collaborating with the Pima County Sheriff's Department. The FBI is employing new technology to conduct advanced analysis on this material. Pima County officials confirmed that DNA analysis remains ongoing and emphasized that this development represents continued collaboration rather than entirely new information. Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her residence in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, on January 31, 2026. Law enforcement has stated that clues at the scene suggest she did not leave voluntarily and highlighted the critical nature of her daily medication needs. While previous tests on a glove found nearby yielded no matches in the CODIS database, investigators remain hopeful about the workable DNA evidence. A reward of up to $100,000 is being offered for information leading to her recovery or the conviction of those responsible.
