Nineteen days after Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home, the physical evidence has produced no match, no suspect, and no confirmed connection to whoever is responsible. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer assesses the forensic landscape and identifies what's still viable.

The DNA recovered inside the home is a mixture still being separated — a home with family, landscapers, and service workers contributing to the sample. The glove found miles away is a CODIS miss that doesn't match the property DNA. Coffindaffer questions whether it should be treated as case evidence at all. Genetic genealogy is the next move, but the profile has to be clean enough to upload — and with the lab controversy surrounding the Florida facility versus Quantico, the condition of the samples is an open question.

Coffindaffer addresses the loss of additional Nest camera footage, the pacemaker search still running after nearly three weeks, and the reality behind tens of thousands of tips that haven't identified a suspect. She separates the forensic avenues with potential from the ones draining resources.
