Nancy Guthrie FBI investigators examine ‘potentially critical’ new DNA taken from home of Savannah’s abducted mom, raising hopes she may finally be found

FBI agents investigating the abduction of Nancy Guthrie have discovered ‘potentially critical’ new DNA at her Arizona home. 

Agents sent the sample to a private Florida lab in recent days, sources told ABC News on Thursday. 

They will use the latest technology to analyze the results and see if it flags a possible suspect for the February 1 abduction of Today star Savannah’s 84-year-old mom.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department previously said that DNA recovered from Nancy’s Tucson home was a sample that came from more than one person. 

Sources told the outlet that Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos recently revealed to a neighborhood watch group that it could take six more months to identify the sample. 

Nanos, who has gotten a lot of push back for how he and his department has handled the case, said that five other labs around the US are working on Nancy’s case. 

The names of the facilities, what their roles are, and if there are additional DNA samples that are relevant to the case remain unclear, per the outlet. 

Nancy’s puzzling disappearance quickly captivated the country as she has not been seen or heard from since the evening of January 31.
