Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home in the early hours of 1 February, and now investigators say DNA tests on a glove found nearby on 15 February show it belonged to a local restaurant worker who has no connection to the missing 84-year-old or her disappearance.
The news came after detectives had briefly treated the single glove, discovered about two miles from Guthrie's residence, as one of the most promising pieces of physical evidence in the case. The item appeared similar to gloves worn by a masked and armed man seen on security footage at Guthrie's home, raising hopes that it might put a name, or at least a profile, to the shadowy figure caught on camera.
