FBI analyzing ‘potentially critical’ DNA recovered from Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home: report

The FBI is reportedly now examining potentially critical DNA evidence collected from Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Arizona.

A private Florida lab that works with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department — who’s investigating the case — sent the sample to the FBI recently, ABC News reported Thursday. The FBI is currently using new technology to do advanced analysis on the DNA sample to see if it can lead to who kidnapped Guthrie.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department previously said the DNA recovered from Guthrie’s home is a sample that came from more than one person.

It could take six months for investigators to analyze the DNA.

Nancy — the mother of “Today” anchor Savanah Guthrie — has been missing since Feb. 1.

In a “Today” show interview last month, Savannah shared chilling details about her mother’s kidnapping, including that her siblings, Camron and Annie, knew there was “something very wrong” when they saw the state of Nancy’s home.

“The doors were propped open, there was blood on the front doorstep and the Ring camera had been yanked off,” she told Hoda Kotb. “So we were saying, ‘This is not OK.’”

Savannah emotionally recounted how Nancy was taken captive “in the dead of night in her pajamas, with no shoes, without her medicine.”

“It’s just absolutely terrifying,” she said of the armed and masked individual who was caught on video breaking into Nancy’s home. “It’s just totally terrifying, and I can’t imagine that that is who she saw standing over her bed.”

Savannah returned to the “Today” show on April 6.

Former FBI agent Jason Pack exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that the “walls are closing in” on Nancy’s kidnapper after Savannah returned to “Today,” explaining that her “national platform” will help keep all eyes on the case.

“Every day that passes the pressure builds. Keeping a secret like this is exhausting. … and that gets harder with every morning that Savannah Guthrie sits behind that anchor desk,” Pack said.

“Most criminals in cases like this count on the media moving on,” he continued. “They count on the family fading from public view. They count on people forgetting. This case is different. Savannah has a national platform and she shows up on it every single day. Every time a viewer sees her face, they think about her mother.”

In her “Today” interview with Kotb, Savannah addressed her decision to return to the NBC morning show as her mother remains missing.

“It’s hard to imagine [coming back] because it’s such a place of joy and lightness,” she shared. “I can’t come back and try to be something I’m not, but I can’t not come back because it’s my family. I think part of my purpose now.”

“I want to smile and when I do, it will be real,” she continued. “And my joy will be my protest. My joy will be my answer, and being there is joyful and when it’s not, I’ll say so.”
