Key Facts
- The glove is one of about 16 collected by investigators near Nancy Guthrie’s home, multiple outlets reported, and this particular glove was found in a field about two miles from the victim’s house.
- Most of the gloves recovered belonged to investigators; however, "the one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video," the FBI said in a statement reported by multiple outlets.
- A spokesperson for the FBI told multiple outlets it already received preliminary results on Saturday, and the process for uploading it to the investigators’ national database takes about 24 hours.
- Investigators are waiting on Sunday for "quality control and official confirmation" before comparing the results to the database, Reuters reported.
- Forbes has reached out to the FBI for further clarification on how the glove was matched to the suspect.
Three People Detained—but Not Arrested
The DNA tests come after three people were reportedly detained, but not arrested, in a SWAT team investigation late on Friday night. NewsNation reported two people—a woman and a man—were taken into custody after a SWAT team swarmed a Tuscon, Arizona, home about two miles from Guthrie’s home. A third person—a man—was detained during a traffic stop. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the activity was related to “a lead tracked down that led to a search warrant,” according to KOLD. The man detained during the traffic stop was determined not to be involved in Guthrie’s kidnapping, with KVOA reporting he was cooperative in the investigation. His Range Rover was towed from the parking lot of a Culver’s, according to Fox News, which reported officers investigated the vehicle for several hours and held up a sheet to block the view from reporters. No one remains in custody as of Sunday afternoon.
Detentions Follow Other Recent Developments In Case
DNA that is neither Nancy Guthrie’s nor of her family members was found on her property Friday, according to The New York Times, but police did not say where at the home it was located. CNN reported several gloves have also been discovered up to 10 miles away, a finding that mirrors surveillance photos and video showing the accused abductor outside Guthrie’s home wearing gloves.

“Maybe it’s an hour from now. Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy,” Nanos told the Times.

What We Know About Suspect In Nancy Guthrie’s Kidnapping
The FBI said Thursday it was searching for a man with average build with a height about 5’9” to 5’10” who was carrying a 25-liter black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack when he was seen in doorbell camera footage outside Guthrie’s home. Earlier in the week, Carlos Palozelos was detained and questioned in connection to Guthrie’s disappearance, but he was released from custody with no charges filed.
