“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.

Earlier in the investigation, the sheriff’s department submitted a sample to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for comparison against its Combined DNA Index System. That search did not produce a match, and authorities later ruled out any connection based on that sample. Investigators also identified a separate mixed, partial DNA sample that was not strong enough to generate a profile suitable for CODIS.

More than 11 weeks after the disappearance, officials say it remains unclear what additional information the available DNA evidence may yield. Experts have indicated that the sample appears to be a complex mixture, likely containing genetic material from three or more individuals.

Authorities have said that at least one contributor to the DNA evidence is male, adding that other forensic testing has already been completed.

For example, blood found on the front porch was confirmed to belong to Nancy Guthrie. Investigators also examined a glove recovered about two miles from her home, which they said resembled one worn by a masked individual captured on a Nest doorbell camera.

The glove did not yield a match. Testing through the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System produced no hits, and the sample did not match any other DNA collected from inside the home.
