Sheriff: Viral gloves in Nancy Guthrie search unrelated

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed this in a Monday update to KVOA on Tuesday, one month into the 84-year-old’s disappearance from her Arizona home: the viral gloves found in the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother have "nothing to do with the case." "The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street," the official explained.

The gloves were discovered in February. An FBI spokesperson revealed in February that gloves matching the ones worn in surveillance footage of the kidnapping suspect were found and contained DNA different from others at the scene. Nanos said that DNA did not match records in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System.

"There were 'no hits,'" Nanos confirmed to Fox News on Feb. 17. Other gloves found near Nancy’s residence have been sent to a Florida lab and could potentially provide a match. "It’s a challenge because we know we have DNA but now we have to deal with that mixture and how we’re going to separate it," Nanos explained.
