New DNA Lead in Nancy Guthrie Case

0:00It's April 16. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now. AI powered in Spotlight Ready. I'm Cory with the story. Investigators just got a fresh lead in the hunt for Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old mom of today show anchor Savannah Guthrie. The FBI pulled DNA evidence, including hair, from her Tucson, Arizona home, and shipped it off for testing. This new batch stands apart from earlier samples. Checked at a Florida lab by the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Those previous ones either didn't match anything in the FBI's big DNA database or got messed up when mixed together. Nancy vanished back on February 1 after family dropped her off at her Catalina foothills place the night before. Right away, a nest camera caught an armed figure messing with it, turning the case into a suspected abduction with no suspects named yet. The family, including Savannah and her siblings Annie and Cameron, went public with pleas for tips while Savannah stepped away from the today show for weeks.
