New DNA Evidence Offers Possible Breakthrough in Guthrie Case
GettyIn recent weeks, investigators have turned to forensic testing in hopes of identifying a suspect. A private lab in Florida submitted DNA evidence, including a hair sample, to the FBI for analysis.
“It can take months,” genetic genealogist CeCe Moore told NewsNation on April 19. “In my experience with them, I’ve already helped law enforcement solve six cases using rootless hair alone. And so, I know it can be done. My guess is that because this is not a cold case yet, and most of the cases are where we’re using rootless hair, that they will push this to the top of the priority list and get it done more quickly.”
A retired agent has also suggested that evidence at the scene may point to a single abductor, though authorities have not confirmed that theory.

NBC/GettySavannah has largely stayed out of the spotlight throughout the ordeal, though she has continued to share updates and heartfelt appeals on behalf of her mother.

The search effort is backed by multiple reward offers, including $1 million from Savannah, $100,000 from the FBI, and an additional $100,000 from other sources.
Even as time passes, authorities and the Guthrie family continue to hold onto hope that new information will bring answers.
