The FBI in Phoenix says hair found at Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home is not connected to any suspect in her kidnapping-for-ransom disappearance; the hair had no DNA, and investigators remain active in pursuing ransom-note leads.
Bryan Kohberger’s bid to withdraw his guilty plea in the Moscow, Idaho quadruple-murder case centers on “clumps of unknown hair” found in victim Ethan Chapin’s hands and on a bed frame. Experts say the move is a long-shot: the hair reportedly doesn’t match Kohberger’s and was never DNA-tested, leaving several explanations (including displacement or a hair from another victim). If the defense wins a hearing to represent him on this issue, arguments would focus on potential misconduct or suppressed evidence, but most observers expect the plea to stand.
