Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping Case: Gloves With Suspected Blood Found

An Arizona couple reported finding a pair of black gloves in the desert roughly a mile from Guthrie’s home. 

Speaking to KVOA-TV, the couple said they discovered the globes on February 11, about 10 days after Nancy Guthrie was reported missing. The items were gound off Campbell Avenue, lying around 10 feet apart. 

“Sure enough, it was a black glove in the desert,” they told KVOA. “It appeared to have looked like it was ripped. It also appeared to look like it had blood on it. There was two different colors. The blood was more towards the wrist side of the glove and on the pointer finger, it looked like it was ripped.”

They told the broadcaster that one glove appeared torn and stained with what looked like blood, with discoloration visible near the wrist and index finger area. The couple said they avoided touching the gloves to prevent disturbing potential evidence. Instead, they photographed the scene and contacted authorities.

The husband also claimed he noticed what appeared to be a drop of dried blood on a rock beneath one of the gloves. Deputies later arrived, questioned the couple and remained in the area until approximately 2 a.m., according to KVOA.
