Investigators have recovered DNA evidence from somebody not known to be “in close contact” with Nancy Guthrie, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department revealed on Friday.

The unidentified DNA, which was found somewhere on the missing 84-year-old woman’s Tucson, Arizona, property, was sent to a laboratory for analysis.

“DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her has been collected from the property,” the sheriff’s department said in an update.

Authorities also confirmed several gloves have been found in the search for Guthrie, who was reported missing on Feb. 1 after failing to show up for church.

The discoveries could prove crucial in the investigation as Guthrie’s suspected abductor was caught outside her home on Nest camera wearing two black gloves.

The alleged kidnapper has been described by the FBI as a male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with an average build.

He was last seen wearing a 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack in the original doorbell footage.

The closest of the gloves found by law enforcement was about two miles from the missing grandmother’s home, including one that was spotted by a Post reporter on Wednesday.

Friday’s update from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department came shortly after TMZ revealed it had received a third alleged ransom email, in which the sender claims to know the identity of Guthrie’s abductor.

The note demands the $100,000 FBI reward in exchange for the name and location of the alleged kidnapper.

Authorities have investigated the alleged ransom notes sent to media outlets – but have acknowledged they may have nothing to do with Guthrie’s disappearance.

Thirteen days into the baffling case, authorities have not identified any suspects.

Guthrie’s adult children, including “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, have issued several pleas to their mom’s would-be abductor to get in contact with them and provide proof of life.
