Nancy Guthrie Case: SWAT Raid Fails, DNA Enters CODIS, Sheriff Says "Years"

Sixteen days missing. A SWAT raid that went nowhere. A sheriff who says it could take years.

Friday night's operation looked like the breakthrough—federal warrant, tactical teams, a "person of interest" stopped in a Range Rover. By Saturday, everyone was released without charges.

Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed: "No sign of Nancy was found."

Then he told the New York Times the case could take "weeks or months or even years" to solve.

Nancy Guthrie is 84 years old. She needs daily heart medication. She hasn't had it for over two weeks.

The investigation is fracturing. The FBI wanted evidence sent to Quantico—Nanos sent it to a private Florida lab. An FBI source called it "insane." Investigators are now "leaning away" from everyone they've looked at: family, the Rio Rico detainee, Friday's target.

DNA from a glove found two miles from the home is entering CODIS today. Experts say DNA from inside the home may be more significant.

An inside source says investigators believe this was a burglary gone wrong. The FBI won't commit to any single theory.

And Savannah Guthrie addressed her mother's captor Sunday: "It's never too late to do the right thing."

This is where the case stands Monday morning.
