On the 15th day of the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance, the FBI confirmed that a glove found near her Tucson-area home is being tested for DNA and may visually match the gloves worn by a masked suspect captured on surveillance footage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An FBI spokesperson told Fox News on Sunday, February 15, that among several gloves recovered during the search,\u00a0one appears to resemble the gloves<\/a>\u00a0seen on the suspect outside Nancy’s residence the night officials believe she was abducted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The glove was discovered about two miles from her home, lying in a field near the side of the road \u2014 an eerie detail that has intensified speculation about a possible escape route.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

DNA extracted from the glove is now undergoing analysis. Investigators are awaiting final lab confirmation before uploading the unknown male DNA profile into CoDIS, the FBI’s national database, where it can be compared against DNA collected in felony cases and missing persons investigations nationwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The FBI described the discovery as a significant development. A first step in processing DNA evidence is\u00a0running it through criminal databases<\/a>\u00a0to determine whether it matches a known offender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Authorities may also turn to investigative genetic genealogy \u2014 a technique that has helped crack cold cases in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
