A fresh wave of fear has swept through Tucson after a blood-stained glove and rock were reportedly found just one mile from the home of missing grandmother Nancy Guthrie, as the desperate search for her enters its fourth agonizing week.

The discovery has left residents terrified, with neighbors admitting they are too frightened to sleep at night following the shocking disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, who was allegedly taken from her bedroom in the early hours of February 1.

According to local outlet KVOA, a couple walking through desert terrain on February 11 say they came across two black gloves stained with what appeared to be blood, along with a nearby rock showing dark droplets believed to be blood.

The items were allegedly found discarded off Campbell Avenue in the Catalina Foothills area — approximately one mile from Nancy’s home.

Speaking anonymously, the couple said one glove was lying on the ground roughly 10 feet away from the rock, while another glove appeared to be resting directly on top of it.

After taking a closer look, the wife said the glove immediately stood out.

“It didn’t just look like a regular glove. It appeared ripped, and there were dark stains that looked like blood,” she explained.

She added that the markings were concentrated near the wrist and index finger, with visible tearing that raised alarm.

“It looked like something that could have been used for something serious — possibly what authorities have been searching for.”

The husband said the rock beneath the glove appeared to show a dried blood drop, reinforcing their concern.

“It looked like a splatter — not fresh, but dried. Enough that it didn’t feel random.”

Crucially, the couple said they did not touch or move anything, instead photographing the scene and immediately contacting the sheriff’s department.

Deputies responded and questioned the pair, who were later allowed to leave while investigators reportedly remained at the scene until around 2am.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department later confirmed that multiple gloves have been recovered in the surrounding area and sent for analysis, though officials declined to confirm whether the specific items found by the couple were formally logged as evidence.

“Detectives and agents have collected multiple gloves from the area, and analysis is part of the investigation,” the department said.

Authorities also revealed that while several gloves have been tested, no DNA matches have yet been found in the FBI’s database.

However, investigators previously disclosed a significant development: DNA recovered from one glove appears consistent with gloves worn by a masked intruder captured tampering with Nancy’s doorbell camera on the night she vanished.

An Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the DNA profile “appears to match the gloves of the subject seen in surveillance footage.”

Officials have also confirmed that mystery DNA found inside Nancy’s home does not belong to anyone close to her.

Chilling images previously released show drops of blood outside the $1 million Tucson property, alongside signs of forced entry. It remains unclear whether that blood is linked to the same DNA referenced by authorities.

Despite the disturbing clues, no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made. Investigators recently acknowledged they possess names and photos potentially linked to the masked figure, but none have been released.

As the investigation stalls, fear has taken hold of the community.

Neighbors say they are on edge, struggling to sleep since Nancy was taken from her bedroom around 2am.

Nevada-based broadcaster and longtime family friend Bill Buckmaster described the situation as a “living nightmare.”

“This has shocked Tucson to the core,” he told NBC News.
“Those who know Savannah and her family are devastated. Some friends are having real trouble even sleeping.”

“We just want Nancy home. We want this to end with a positive resolution.”
