Episode notes
Unknown DNA Could Be A Breakthrough
- Investigators recovered unknown DNA from Nancy Guthrie's property that doesn't match her or close contacts.
- The DNA offers a new lead but currently yields no CODIS hit, so efforts continue with labs and genealogy options.
Wide Search Triggered By Glove Tips
- Search teams expanded their area after tips led to glove finds up to 10 miles from the house.
- The sheriff said every tip is pursued and all recovered items are processed for possible links to the abduction.
Use CODIS, Genealogy, Then Targeted Swabs
- Run recovered DNA through CODIS and consider genealogy databases when there's no direct match.
- If you identify a suspect, obtain a cheek swab via consent or search warrant to confirm a match.
