Good morning, everyone. I'm Kate Baldwin. It's Wednesday, February 18th. Here are the five things you need to know to start your day.

Number one, the Guthrie mystery, a new development, but also maybe a new dead end in the search for Nancy Guthrie.

DNA that was being tested from a glove found near her home,

that did not match anything in an FBI database as investigators had hoped. A database of more

than 19 million offender profiles, and that DNA also does not match the DNA collected from

inside Guthrie's home that investigators are trying to run down.

So now, a new path.

That DNA is now being sent for advanced genetic genealogy testing to see if anything pops,

really.

Now three weeks into this search.

The hope is, even if the suspect has never used one of these gene mapping services

we've all heard so much about, Maybe a family member has. Investigators

could then use family DNA to potentially identify suspects. The Pima County Sheriff is also

now making clear he believes Nancy Guthrie was targeted.

I believe it was a kidnapping. Targeted kidnapping.

Yes, I believe whoever did that knew what they were up to. So do you believe they're...

...new who they were after.

Investigators have been visiting gun shops in the Tucson area as well as the suspect was

seen in the doorbell video with a gun and holster that the sheriff said had some pretty

unique characteristics.

One store owner telling CNN, the FBI visited them about a week ago and showed him pictures of various people, but he didn't recognize any of them.

Number two, the ballot raid. Officials in Fulton County, Georgia are now accusing the Department of Justice of duping a federal judge in order to seize 2020 election ballots.
