Nancy Guthrie Update: Guthrie Family Should Be ‘Upset’ About DNA Handling, Ex-FBI Agent Says
A genetic genealogist says hair from the home could solve the case as investigators review DNA from evidence and surveillance.
- The FBI recently began reviewing DNA evidence, including hair, from Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home as the investigation into her seventy-seven-day disappearance continues.
- Authorities believe Guthrie, the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped after blood was discovered on her porch; she requires vital daily medication.
- Genetic genealogist CeCe Moore said hair DNA "opens up many thousands of cases" and could be the breakthrough evidence needed to solve the case.
- Former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer criticized using a private Florida lab for 70 days, arguing samples should have gone directly to The FBI's Quantico facility.
- While the investigation continues, Guthrie's family is offering a $1-million reward for her recovery and more than $200,000 for information leading to an arrest.
