The Pima County Sheriff's Office said several gloves have been recovered as part of the investigation. Officials said no gloves were recovered from on the property or inside the house, contrary to earlier unconfirmed reports.
Guthrie, 84, is the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie and has been missing since Feb. 1. Authorities confirmed that blood found on her front porch belonged to Guthrie. Officials have also said DNA belonging to someone other than Nancy Guthrie or her close contacts was recovered at an unspecified location on the property.
The sheriff’s office issued a neighborhood alert last week asking residents to submit any video recorded within a two-mile radius of Guthrie's home between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2 that could assist in the investigation. Officials said they are seeking footage showing vehicles, vehicle traffic, pedestrians or anything residents consider unusual or potentially relevant to the case.
