Savannah Guthrie has issued a new message for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, as FBI makes a major development.
According to CNN, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has revealed that the glove found with DNA near the Guthrie’s house matches the one worn by the suspect seen in the doorbell camera footage.
The DNA from the glove and an unknown DNA found in the house are being analysed by the authorities to identify the suspect.
As the search for the 84-year-old stretched into the third week, the Today show co-anchor made another plea to the abductor for the safe return of her mother.
In a video posted on social media late on Sunday, February 15, Savanah said, “It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken, and I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope and we still believe.”
“You’re not lost or alone, and it is never too late to do the right thing. We are here. And we believe. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being,” she added.
Nancy was reported missing on February 1 by her family. She was last seen at her residence in Arizona, just outside Tucson, on January 31.
Authorities believed that she was taken against her will from her residence. The FBI in February released the surveillance footage and photos of the suspect.
Director Kash Patel at that time wrote on X, “The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems. (Images show) an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”
The preliminary results of the DNA of the glove found about two miles away from her home came out on Saturday. Now authorities are waiting for “quality control” and official confirmation before putting the profile of the suspect in the database.
