Genetic Genealogy Hopes for Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1st, and evidence points straight to a kidnapping. Blood splatter outside her place and a masked man caught on her doorbell camera around that time sealed it for investigators. Tynetic genealogist C.C. Moore says finding a second spot, like where she might have inhaled, could crack his wide open. That car or hideout might hold clean DNA from the kidnapper, skipping the mixed samples they got at the scene. Moore's pushing investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, which uploads crime scene DNA to sites like Ancestry or GED match. Matches from relatives build family trees to zero in-on suspects, and folks are hopeful it'll deliver here. This method nailed big cases before, like the Golden State Killer in California, back in the 70s and 80s, caught after decades, or Brian, Cole Berger, whose DNA on a knife
