The search is ongoing for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who investigators say appears to have been kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Sunday, Feb. 1.

The FBI has released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask in front of her home, appearing to tamper with a security camera.

Sheriff speaks to ABC News about DNA, gloves and 'not giving up'

DNA was recovered from several gloves and other pieces of potential evidence, and those DNA samples are now being compared to samples taken from associates of Nancy Guthrie, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told ABC News Friday.

The sheriff said he is hopeful investigators are “getting closer” to solving the case.

“We've gotten DNA back,” Nanos said.

“They already have the genetic markers of those that we think had access to the home,” he said, including members of Guthrie’s family and household help.

“Now we have to go through and try to eliminate people," Nanos said.

Several gloves have been found throughout an expanded search zone within a 10-mile radius of Guthrie’s home, the sheriff said. No gloves were found at her house.

Investigators planned to return to Guthrie’s house as soon as Friday to take additional measurements from the front doorway, where the suspect lurked. They have estimated his height to be 5 feet 9 to 5 feet 10 inches, and now the hope is to determine the man’s weight.

“It is really about just taking that video and frame-by-frame and trying to get as much out as we can,” Nanos said.

Other investigators are trying to trace the point of sale of the backpack sold at Walmart the suspect was seen carrying.

Walmart declined to comment on whether it is assisting the investigation.

The individual detained earlier this week for questioning in Rio Rico, Arizona -- who identified himself as Carlos -- is not fully cleared even though he has been released and is under no law enforcement restrictions, the sheriff said.

“Nobody's fully cleared,” Nanos said. “He talked with us, he was cooperative.”

Nanos said the sheriff’s department and FBI are working side-by-side to find Nancy Guthrie.

“We're not giving up,” Nanos said. “If Nancy's out there, we're going to find her. We're not giving up.”

Investigators noted that "Detectives and agents have collected multiple gloves from the area, and analysis is part of the investigation."

"Specific details about these pieces of evidence will not be shared publicly, as this remains an active investigation," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

More than 1 suspect not ruled out, sheriff's office says

Investigators are not ruling out the possibility that more than one person may have been involved in Nancy Guthrie's abduction, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Friday.

The sheriff's department said it also continues to seek information to help identify the man captured on Nancy Guthrie's doorbell video, and that investigators are reviewing surveillance video submitted by her neighbors.

Man detained last week identified

A lawyer representing a convicted felon said his client and his client’s mother were briefly detained as part of the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

Luke Daley, 37, and his mother, who is 77, were detained and had their house searched on Feb. 13, according to his lawyer, Chris Scileppi. Their home is about 2 miles from Guthrie’s.

Chris Scileppi confirmed Daley -- who has served time in state prison on drug-related charge -- was the target of the operation by the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department but reiterated neither Daley nor his mother were arrested and said they have no link to Guthrie.

“Like the entire Tucson community, both Mr. Daley and his mother are hopeful that Nancy will be returned to her family unharmed,” Scileppi said in a statement.

Daley was the second person detained for questioning and released after a deliveryman who identified himself as Carlos was stopped earlier in the investigation. ABC News has previously reported investigators are leaning away from both men as possible suspects.
