Results Are in for DNA Found on Glove near Nancy Guthrie’s Home
But even if there is a match, the hunt would not end immediately. “Then you have to find that person. So, are they in a location that they have reported being? Or do they have to go out and develop leads to find out where they are?” he stated. “But this is a move towards the right area of operation.”
Former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb cautioned that DNA testing is not as swift as television dramas might suggest.
“DNA is not like a TV show where you get the results within no time and you figure out who did it by the end of the show,” Lamb mentioned. “DNA takes time and there is a place in Florida that you can actually process DNA against familial DNA and this could be anyone who might be related to a suspect.”
The Pacemaker Ping That Went Silent at 2 a.m.
Authorities have deployed a range of investigative tools in their race against time.
Law enforcement flew over Nancy’s home using a Bluetooth signal detector in an attempt to track a signal from her pacemaker. The device reportedly disconnected from her phone app just before 2 a.m. on February 1 — the same night officials believe she was abducted.
Cybersecurity expert Morgan Wright explained how digital breadcrumbs may assist investigators.
“You open up a browser and it pings — that creates a ping with latitude and longitude, a specific location and a time we can track, so I’ve actually got two teams and analysts looking at the data,” Wright said. “Once this is done, were gonna provide a report for law enforcement.”
CNN further reported that if the glove is confirmed to belong to the suspect seen outside Nancy’s home, the location where it was recovered could reveal critical clues about his possible route after her suspected abduction.
