Results Are in for DNA Found on Glove near Nancy Guthrie’s Home

As investigators continue analyzing DNA evidence, the scale of the operation has come into sharper focus.

According to The New York Times, Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators have collected DNA swabs from Nancy’s family members and workers who had been at her home to rule out known individuals.

Sheriff Nanos confirmed that a lab is running DNA tests on gloves found roughly two miles from Nancy’s house. Doorbell-camera footage from February 1 shows a masked figure wearing dark gloves, a backpack, and what appears to be a holstered handgun.

Still, Nanos admitted he had “no way” of knowing whether the gloves recovered are the same ones worn by the masked man captured in the black-and-white video. As the search enters its third week, approximately 400 people are working the case, and investigators are still busy “looking hard.”

“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” he said. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”

Authorities have warned residents to expect continued police activity across the community. In a February 15 post on X, Fox News correspondent Matt Finn shared updates from Sheriff Nanos regarding a significant police and SWAT response that drew attention the night before.

According to Finn’s post, a person detained during a traffic stop outside a Culver’s restaurant — believed to involve a gray Range Rover — was considered a person of interest. The individual was described as “cooperative” and later released.

Regarding others detained during the execution of a search warrant, Nanos said, “I’m guessing anyone at the residence was ‘detained’ but that is standard procedure to allow investigators serving a search warrant freedom to conduct their search. I was not at the scene and I’m sure people were detained but no one was arrested and more importantly…no sign of Nancy was found.”
