Remember those gloves that they found two miles away from the scene? DNA testing has revealed that they match a guy who works at a restaurant across the street and have nothing to do with the kidnapping. > **[Gloves Found in Nancy Guthrie Case Traced to Nearby Restaurant Worker, as...](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/gloves-found-nancy-guthrie-case-192259429.html)** > > Authorities are still searching for Nancy Guthrie, 84, who was last seen on Saturday, Jan. 31, around 9:48 p.m. local time ---

Given the door camera video of the kidnapper, it might well be the restaurant worker is a very different shape or gender or color. ---

It has been a month. How long do you expect before this gets back burnered by everyone involved outside of the immediate family, with the expectation that it will simply be unexplained until/unless something unexpectedly turns up? ---

Authorities have released the text of two ransom notes, in the hope that someone will recognize the writing style.
