On Monday, Nanos told Tom Llamas during an interview on NBC Nightly News, “We believe she was removed from the home against her will, and thus the investigation is ongoing.”
“I can’t think of the last time, where in the middle of the night, in someone’s bed, an 84-year-old woman disappeared on us,” he added.
Missing Nancy Guthrie Update: What is the expected timeline for getting DNA results?Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos spoke with CBS 5 host Brianna Whitney as the search for Nancy Guthrie moves into its fourth day.
Whitney asked if they are currently doing DNA testing on any pieces of evidence from the residence and what the expected time frame is to get the results.
In response, the sheriff said, “We actually are. So we have our own rapid DNA test here, and of course, we use a lab. But we’ve been told that the system here in Tucson is bad, so we ran it all the way to Phoenix.” [Monday]”
“So hopefully here we find out something from Phoenix that we can maybe go to our lab and get a rush order from them, but it’s still a few days, and nothing is fast enough, right?” Nano continues.
Nancy, who is the mother of children Annie Guthrie and Cameron Guthrie, was last seen by her family on Saturday, January 31 at 9:30 p.m.
A concerned friend contacted Nancy’s family, according to TODAY, after the 84-year-old failed to show up for a church service the next morning.
