Local police address rumors today## that Guthrie family members may have# been involved in her disappearance.
In a statement, Pima County sheriff said# they have been cleared as possible suspects## and that "to suggest otherwise# is not only wrong; it is cruel."
But there is some hope that a found glove# may contain DNA from a potential suspect.
Stephanie Sy has more.
STEPHANIE SY: As the search for# Nancy Guthrie enters its third week,## her daughter Savannah made another heartfelt# plea to whoever knows her mom's whereabouts.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE, Co-Host, "The Today# Show": It is never too late to do the## right thing.
And we are here.
We believe.
STEPHANIE SY: Last week, The Today# Show anchor posted a home video of## her mom captioned: "We will never give up on her."
Authorities continued to chase down leads# after the 84-year-old was reported missing## on February 1.
The FBI said on Sunday that# a glove found two miles from Nancy Guthrie's## house appears to match those worn by the# masked person caught on her porch camera.
Let's just start with the glove.
Is that a major## break in its importance in being# able to potentially find a suspect?
RAY JOHNSON, Retired FBI Special# Agent: I would say it is.
STEPHANIE SY: Ray Johnson is a retired FBI special## agent who now teaches law at the# University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
RAY JOHNSON: The fact that the glove# was within a two-mile radius of the## house and the fact that they were# able to extract DNA from that glove,## taken as a totality and taken# together, that gives me hope.
STEPHANIE SY: Johnson said national# databases could help narrow down a suspect.
RAY JOHNSON: If we can link it together# with somebody who happened to match the## description of the offender or be in the# area or some of the Ring cameras that are## constantly being sought after now for# suspects, that helps us really get what## we need for legal prosecution later and# to get an answer as to what happened.
STEPHANIE SY: It's still not clear what the# motive behind Guthrie's apparent kidnapping## was.
Johnson says certain details# of the case make it untraditional.
RAY JOHNSON: It does not feel to me what a# garden-variety or a kidnapping for ransom## would look like.
In my experience, this# feels more like a premeditated crime,## either a burglary, either a robbery, something# different than a true kidnapping, because,## if you're planning the kidnapping, you're already# going to have those ransom channels set up.
STEPHANIE SY: Law enforcement# is also now reportedly using## a tracking device called a signal# sniffer.
Mounted on a helicopter,## it may be able to detect emissions# from Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker.
Savannah Guthrie's Today Show colleagues# have rallied behind her.
And in a call## with The New York Post today, President# Trump threatened the kidnapper with the## most severe federal consequences if# Nancy Guthrie is not returned safely.
For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Stephanie Sy.
