DNA evidence recovered from Nancy Guthrie's home is now getting rushed to the FBI's elite lab for cutting-edge analysis after previous testing failed to get a match and crack the case, sources shared.
The major break came nearly two and a half months after the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie was kidnapped from her residence in Tucson, Arizona. Now, hair, bedsheet clipping, and other key samples were sent to the bureau's Quantico in Virginia for more probing. This is all in a desperate bid to identify a suspect.
The news was dropped by a local media outlet yesterday, which shared more about how the Florida lab hired by the Pima County Sheriff's Department shipped key evidence for top-of-the-line genetic testing.
The move comes months after serious tension arose behind the scenes with the FBI pushing to handle all evidence linked to the case.
