The FBI has collected DNA from a glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s house, which may have come from the armed suspect seen at the 84-year-old’s door the night she disappeared.
The bombshell revelation means that investigators could finally have DNA evidence from the primary suspect in the Feb. 1 abduction of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mom, law enforcement sources told The Post.

The glove was located about two miles from Nancy’s Tucson home and is one of about 16 collected by detectives in that vicinity over their two-week investigation.

“The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News, which first broke the story.
The glove — one of 16 found by detectives — does not appear to be the one that The Post observed FBI evidence specialists collecting from a roadside about two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson house.
Investigators told Fox it appears to match the black nitrile gloves pulled over another pair of gloves, which were worn by the masked fiend who was captured by Guthrie’s Nest door cam. Sources cautioned that the glove isn’t confirmed to be from the suspect — merely that it looks like it could be the one he was wearing.

FBI evidence technicians are now working to double-check the DNA results before running them through the national database of crime suspects to see if there are any matches.
It usually takes around 24 hours from when the FBI receives DNA to put it into CODIS, the bureau’s national DNA database, an FBI spokesperson said.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Sunday that the DNA results are still pending at a private lab in Florida.

Detectives prioritized certain DNA submissions, Nanos told Fox News, although he didn’t elaborate on what those are or which results will come back first. The FBI has said it will continue to provide assistance on whatever timeline is provided to the bureau.
