According to The New York Times, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said authorities recovered DNA evidence from Nancy’s residence. Officials added that the genetic material did not match anyone known to have had regular contact with her.The sheriff noted that investigators also gathered DNA samples from relatives and individuals who had worked at the home.In addition, a laboratory is analyzing gloves discovered roughly two miles from Nancy’s property.However, Nanos said there is “no way” to determine whether they are the same gloves captured in doorbell footage recorded on February 1, 2026.As the search enters its third week, Nanos said about 400 people are working the case and that investigators are still “looking hard.”He added, “Maybe it’s an hour from now. Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”
