DNA Handling in Guthrie Missing Case Draws Fire from Ex-FBI Agent
Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, remains missing nearly three months after vanishing in Tucson. A private Florida lab that works with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department sent a hair DNA sample to the FBI for analysis; the FBI says there is no new DNA evidence and that the sample was transferred to the FBI Laboratory for testing, a process that could take months. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer criticized the decision to send the sample to a private lab, arguing the FBI has the necessary advanced technology all along and that this handling should upset those seeking justice in the case.
