In mid-February, two weeks after Nancy Guthrie mysteriously vanished in the early morning hours, a glove was found two miles from her Tucson, Ariz., home that looked similar to the ones a masked man was seen wearing on surveillance footage from her front porch.

The glove was tested for DNA, with many hoping it would lead to clues as to who took the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie — and why.

In an interview with local outlet KVOA, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that investigators were able to find a match to the DNA found on one of the gloves.

“There was some talk and discussion that it was police officers out in the field just discarding [the gloves], that is so far from the truth,” Nanos told the outlet.

“We knew that at that time, we believed wholeheartedly that those gloves belonged to a restaurant and guess what? The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street,” Nanos said.

“It has nothing to do with the case,” Nanos said, per the outlet.

He did not specify which restaurant the person works at or if investigators questioned that individual.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department later posted to X on March 4 confirming that the individual is “not part of this investigation.”

Nanos also told KVOA that other gloves sent to a Florida lab could be different and DNA testing could take a while.

“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 said, according to the outlet.

Nancy was taken from her Tucson, Ariz., home in the early morning hours of Sunday, Feb. 1, police said.

Her family called 911 at 12:03 p.m. that day after the mother of three failed to join friends to watch a virtual church service.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office, later joined by the FBI, launched a massive investigation into Nancy’s disappearance, saying they believed she was taken against her will.

Concern for Nancy deepened when Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that blood spatter found on the front porch belonged to her.

Even more chilling were Nest camera surveillance photos and video footage authorities released on Feb. 10 showing a masked, armed man on Nancy’s front porch in the early morning hours of Feb. 1.

The FBI Phoenix office shared additional details describing the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack” that may have been purchased at Walmart.

Investigators revealed that Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m., local time. Shortly after, at 2:12 a.m., the camera detected a dark figure walking toward the house. Sixteen minutes later, at 2:28 a.m., Guthrie’s pacemaker was disconnected from the pacemaker app on her cellphone, authorities said.
