An Arizona couple allegedly found a pair of blood-stained gloves and a rock with a dried blood droplet near Nancy Gurthrie’s home.

The items were found in the desert a mile from Nancy Guthrie’s home, days after she was reported missing, according to a report. The couple, who asked to remain anonymous, stumbled upon the suspicious black gloves on the ground 10 feet apart off Campbell Avenue in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson in February 11, KVOA reported on Friday

“Sure enough it was a black glove in the desert it appeared to have looked like it was ripped. It also appeared to like it looked like it had blood on it. The blood appeared to be towards the wrist side of the glove and on the pointer finger,” they told the outlet. It comes after an ex-FBI agent revealed the hidden codeword that Savannah used in her message to the kidnappers.

The pair reported their findings to authorities, concerned that the items might be related to the investigation into the purported kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy, who is the mother of NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie, 54.

As cops scramble to find answers, several gloves have been found in the area around the Tucson neighborhood by investigators, possibly matching the same ones worn by an armed individual spotted outside Nancy’s home the morning she vanished on January 31.

“It looked like this was like used for something that could’ve possibly been what they were looking for,” the wife told the outlet of the apparent bloodied glove.

The couple didn’t touch either glove, after concerns that they could contaminate any evidence, but took a series of photos and looked over the rather concerning finding. A rock, the second glove was lying on, appeared to have at least one blood splatter.

“And also from the glove it looked like a blood drop on a rock underneath the glove was like dried blood or something. We didn’t move it or touch it. We immediately were like, we have to do something. So I was like I will call the sheriff department,” the husband explained.

Investigators reported to the area where the couple was questioned and then allowed to leave.

Officials had remained at the scene until 2am, the outlet reported.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not say if the bloodied gloves were among the ones collected for DNA evidence, as the search for Nancy entered its 20th day.

“We cannot confirm at this time. Detectives and agents have collected multiple gloves from the area, and analysis is part of the investigation,” the department told the outlet. DNA collected from other gloves has not matched any results in the FBI’s database.
