| 0:00.0 | Federal and state law enforcement are still looking for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of today's |
| 0:05.7 | show co-host, Savannah Guthrie. Local police address rumors today that Guthrie family members |
| 0:10.8 | may have been involved in her disappearance. In a statement, Pima County Sheriff said they've |
| 0:15.4 | been cleared as possible suspects and that to suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. |
| 0:21.6 | But there is some hope that a found glove may contain DNA from a potential suspect. |
| 0:26.6 | Stephanie Sy has more. |
| 0:28.6 | As the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its third week, her daughter, Savannah, made another heartfelt plea to whoever knows her mom's whereabouts. |
| 0:37.9 | It is never too late to do the right thing. And we are here. We believe. Last week, the Today Show anchor posted a home video of her mom, captioned, We will never give up on her. |

| 1:31.3 | The fact that the glove was within a two-mile radius of the house and the fact that they |
| 1:35.3 | were able to extract DNA from that glove, taken as a totality and taking together, that gives me hope. |
| 1:42.3 | Johnson said national databases could help narrow down a suspect. |
| 1:46.8 | If we can link it together with somebody who happened to match the description of the |
| 1:50.5 | offender, or be in the area, or some of the ring cameras that are constantly being sought |
| 1:55.8 | after now for suspects, that helps us really get what we need for legal prosecution later and to get an |
| 2:03.5 | answer as to what happened. It's still not clear what the motive behind Guthrie's apparent |
