The one clue investigators hoped would crack the Nancy Guthrie case just fell apart

  • The search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC News host Savannah Guthrie, has suffered a setback after a hair found at her home yielded no new DNA evidence.
  • Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, marking six months since her disappearance this Saturday.
  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that a hair sample sent to a specialist lab in California came back with no DNA, though it may still prove valuable for other investigative purposes.
  • Investigators believe Nancy was taken against her will, based on blood found near her home and surveillance footage showing a masked individual near the property.
  • Savannah Guthrie made a fresh appeal on Instagram, urging her mother's abductor to 'do the right thing' and help locate her, while authorities have not confirmed a reported ransom note claiming Nancy's death.
