FBI Examines Fresh DNA Evidence In Nancy Guthrie Case

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has received DNA evidence recovered from the Tucson, Arizona, home of Nancy Guthrie, including test results from a hair sample, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

A source told Fox News that investigators collected DNA material from the residence and submitted it to the FBI for further analysis, including more advanced testing. CeCe Moore, an investigative genetic genealogist with Parabon NanoLabs, said a hair sample is unlikely to be part of a mixed DNA profile that investigators have reportedly been analyzing, the outlet reported.

“Not after it is cleaned for contamination,” she said. “They have that process in good shape, but it can take some time.” She added of the sample: “I would assume it would be Nancy plus two or more unknowns.”

A spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told Fox the police agency has “sharing a lot of things” with the FBI lab regarding Guthrie’s case.

“PCSD has worked with the FBI since the beginning of the Guthrie investigation. This is not new information,” the department wrote on X. “The private lab we utilize in Florida continues to share information with the FBI lab & other partner labs across the country. DNA analysis remains ongoing.”

Sheriff Chris Nanos has said that DNA recovered from the scene has not yet identified a suspect in the Feb. 1 kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie.
