Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos reports inconclusive DNA results from hair sample in Nancy Guthrie disappearance

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced on Thursday that forensic testing on a hair sample recovered from the home of Nancy Guthrie has yielded no specific DNA profile to identify a suspect. The 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie has been missing since early February, and the hair sample was sent to multiple laboratories across the country for analysis. Nanos explained that while hair often lacks the distinct DNA found in bodily fluids, the sample remains preserved for future use. Meanwhile, investigators are still working to untangle a mixed DNA sample containing up to four people found at the scene. The FBI's Phoenix office confirmed the hair results were resolved, noting that the sample does not point to a specific suspect. Despite the lack of a definitive lead from the hair, Nanos remains optimistic that the case will be resolved. He noted that the masked figure captured on doorbell camera footage remains a primary lead, though it is currently unclear if the suspect acted alone or with a team.
