FBI finds glove near Nancy Guthrie’s home as search continues
FBI teams found a black glove during a search on a roadway about a mile and a half from Nancy Guthrie’s home Wednesday.
There is no confirmation that it is related to her disappearance. The New York Post took photographs, shared with NewsNation, of the FBI officials.
Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Jan. 31.

TMZ said it received a new note Wednesday in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The note doesn’t appear to be from the kidnapper, but rather from someone offering information that could lead to the kidnapper.
In the note, received just before 5 a.m. PST, the sender claims they’ve been unable to reach Guthrie’s children Camron and Annie by email or text.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that investigators with the department and the FBI are continuing to follow up on all leads.
The sheriff’s office said it has gotten 18,000 calls to its tip line since Feb. 1, and more than 4,000 of those came in the last 24 hours.
Black glove in Guthrie case: Potential evidence, or ‘noise,’ expert says
Cybersecurity analyst Morgan Wright, CEO and founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases, says the glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home is likely being analyzed at the FBI’s laboratory in Quantico, Va.
Agency officials will be looking for DNA and other physical evidence from the item, he said.
“It’s either connected, and it’s legit; it’s noise, it’s just unrelated; or it’s misdirection. I hate to say misdirection, but with some of the notes we’ve been getting … at this point, you have to put extra scrutiny on every piece of evidence you find,” Wright said.
