And I don't like the way the investigation and the reward is being handled. I think it could have been done much better.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Chris Nano says the Guthrie have not been identified as suspects. But his wording has raised new questions as the mystery deepens. Are we any closer to finding Nancy? Today, investigators are back again at her home.

C
We don't know who they are. There was no markings on the car. It does not appear that they are law enforcement, but the deputies here obviously knew that they were coming because they let them through and they let them go to the back of the house.

I'm Lyndon Blake and this is finding Nancy Guthrie. A Daily Wire True Crime Investigation. It is Tuesday, February 17th. We are in day 17 of the search for Nancy Guthrie. We do have some updates regarding DNA testing. We told you that we were going to see if that DNA found on the glove from two miles from Nancy's home came up with a match in CODIS, which is the FBI's database of people that have prior criminal records, that there was no match with that DNA. So what we can now report is an FBI official just told Fox News that the genetic testing is already underway in this investigation. So what does that mean? Well, that means that the DNA on this glove is being put through this system where they're basically going to try to match this DNA with family members. Think of it this way. So you have this person's genetic profile and you're gonna start to build a family tree, so to speak. And you can put the DNA in different databases. And if there have been previous family members that were in a database, Maybe it's through 23andMe or something else, then you can start finding relatives of the unknown person and connect the dots till you find the unknown individual through shared DNA. So you're having this unknown DNA, you're gonna find people that share that DNA. And then this is how it leads you to identify the DNA on the glove. Now, keep in mind this glove could be some random person's DNA that dropped a glove on the side of the road. So Chris Nanos, Pima county sheriff today did say they're testing other DNA at the crime scene. So the DNA from the glove wasn't a match to any DNA in the house, but they're still processing that DNA that was found at the home. So there's still possibilities out there and there's still big question marks on the DNA. With the lack of the DNA on the glove that has now come up blank right now, it leads me just to question, will the FBI release more video to just keep leads coming in from that person and the doorbell footage camera? We don't know. You can assume maybe there's more video out there. I know from sources that it's very hard to get the video that they got. Remember, they had to go through Google and just work really hard to pull this deleted footage, but it was done. So it just leads you to wonder if maybe they're going to get more video in the meantime while this genetic testing is going on. Sheriff Chris Nanos, he has not had the most glowing reviews during this investigation. He's had to walk a lot of stuff back. Even when he was doing press conferences, he was walking stuff back, if you remember. Oh, we're not going to say forced entry or not forced entry, even though now we've gotten through drone footage, a pretty good look at the back of the house, the front of the house, and nothing looks broken or forced, as you would say. Well, there's some other confusing verbiage now coming out from Sheriff Nanos. And this is in regards to the Guthrie family. So on Sunday, Nanos told the Daily Mail, nobody has been cleared as suspects. Then Monday, sheriff put out a press release. He said the Guthrie family, siblings and spouses have been cleared as possible suspects. Well, in today's press release regarding the Guthrie family, it says the Guthrie family has not been identified as suspects. And that means a lot. These are curated press releases going out and the language doesn't match. Not been identified as suspects, does not match, cleared as suspects. And again, this is not coming in the form of interviews. This is coming in the form of what is being sent out to all the media. It's just very interesting and it goes back to just the messaging from Pima county has not been clear on this case from the start. Today we learned there was that blue shirt that was left right off Nancy's front porch. And we were told today that that blue shirt was Nancy's and that one of the searchers left it behind after a canine search. This is the crime scene where there's been pizza delivered in multiple Amazon packages. It blows my mind that this is happening when there is no clear lead or motive or person responsible for this horrible crime to 84 year old Nancy Guthrie. Well, it's not just you and me feeling the frustration from this case. There was this attorney in Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, who decided to, on his own accord, put up $100,000 through, through crime Stoppers for information leading to Nancy Guthrie and who did this crime.

She's an 84 year old woman. And I don't like the way the investigation and the reward is being handled. I think it could have been done much better. I think if the $100,000 was put up through Crime Stoppers, we could be further along.

A
So why Crime Stoppers? I've worked the Crime Stoppers for forever and Crime Stoppers is this private organization and it works off anonymous tips. So you always have your law enforcement that are giving their rewards. In this case, the FBI's put up a $100,000 reward. Well, Michael Hopi said he doesn't like the progress being made in the case. So he's going through Crime Stoppers and he's going through Crime Stoppers of Tucson in hopes that someone will see that you can leave an anonymous tip and feel more comfortable sharing information. Who is this person in the doorbell camera who may know where Nancy Guthrie is? He even told a local station in Milwaukee that he thinks if Crime Stoppers would have put up a reward sooner that this case would be further along. So something to watch as now this anonymous tip line has been open because you truly don't have to give anything and you still get the money. Meanwhile, Nancy's next door neighbor had some investigators show up at that house. There's this up close video of these investigators on a ladder and they're messing with lights and a camera near this neighbor's house and the neighbor's garage. So the, you know, it's a typical floodlight in a camera situation that's facing the driveway. So I don't know if they got a tip or if at this point they're like, we just need any footage from around Nancy's home. We know they put out the big ask for footage from the 2 mile radius of Nancy's home. But investigators of course, did not comment when they left the house. Don't lose heart. President Trump still is supporting this 100%. He actually said if Nancy wasn't brought back alive, whoever is responsible could face the most severe federal penalty. He was asked to clarify if he was talking about the death penalty. And he was like, yeah, that's, that's true. Like that would be the most severe. So again, a lot of things working right now as investigators still are combing through video, combing through the leads from Walmart to other businesses. Just trying to figure out who this person and this doorbell camera is. The tip line for the FBI. For that $100,000 reward, 1, 800, call FBI. And again, crime Stoppers, you can remain anonymous. And that reward is $100,000, too. Through Crime Stoppers of Arizona. I'm Lyndon Blake, and this is Finding Nancy Guthrie. A Daily Wire true crime investigation.
