There is a new update in the search for Nancy Guthrie regarding the DNA evidence that was found inside her home.
According to Fox News’ Michael Ruiz, the samples recovered “mainly came back to people who had a reason to be there, according to two federal law enforcement sources.”
However, there was one unknown sample that “yielded only a partial profile that could not be checked against the FBI’s CODIS database of known offenders.”
Nancy has officially been missing for 24 days, with authorities saying she is believed to have been abducted from her home near Tucson, Ariz., early on Feb. 1. She was last seen on Jan. 31 when she was dropped off at her home.
Savannah Guthrie Announces New Reward in Nancy’s Kidnapping Case
In a heartbreaking new video shared on Instagram, Savannah Guthrie shared a tearful message. And with that, the family is also offering up to $1 million for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery, according to a public notice issued by the FBI.
“Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,” Savannah wrote in the caption. She also shared some thoughts in the video.
“Please keep praying without ceasing,” she said. “We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home, hope against hope. As my sister says, ‘We are blowing on the embers of hope.'”
“We also know that she may be lost,” she added. “She may already be gone.”
Along with the new reward, the family also donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“We also know that we are not alone in our loss,” Savannah explained. “We know there are millions of families that have suffered with this kind of uncertainty.”
“We are hoping that the attention that has been given to our mom and our family will extend to all the families like ours who are in need and need prayers and need support,” she added.
Arizona Sheriff Says DNA Setback Could ‘Take Months’
GettyWhen speaking with Fox News, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos opened up about the DNA evidence that was found in Nancy’s home, specifically relating to the expectation for when the authorities will get results.
“Our lab tells us that there are challenges with it,” he said about the Florida lab. “The technology is moving so fast and in such a frenzy that they think some of this stuff will resolve itself just in a matter of weeks, months, or maybe a year.”
The outlet added that it’s “unclear whether the DNA recovered inside Guthrie’s has been useful for the investigation,” as the samples are from “more than one person, making it harder to run through national databases.”
I pray that Mrs. Guthrie can be found, wether she’s still with us or not. This is so heart breaking and I send my deepest condolences to the family and close loved ones. This touches my heart in such a way, I wanna help but don’t know how. Only to keep praying.
I think this Sheriff is SHADY!
