Unknown Male DNA? Burglary Gone Wrong? | Nancy Guthrie Missing Day 15

The FBI has confirmed that a glove found roughly two miles from Nancy’s Catalina Foothills home has produced an unknown male DNA profile. Investigators say the type of glove appears to match the glove seen on surveillance video, and it has now been sent for final quality control before being entered into CODIS. At the same time, confusion is growing over reports suggesting this may have been a “burglary gone wrong.” Law enforcement sources are pushing back, saying that theory is not the official working narrative inside the investigation. As Savannah Guthrie posts a new public message urging whoever has her mother to “do the right thing,” investigators continue testing evidence from a towed Range Rover, reviewing surveillance footage, and tracking leads around the clock. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the unknown male DNA, the controversy over the burglary theory, what CODIS could reveal next, and where the Nancy Guthrie investigation stands right now.
