The man who took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home prepared for weeks — and still made mistakes that could define the entire investigation. He surveilled the house. He masked his face. He brought a weapon and a backpack. But he dropped a glove, wore gear traceable to Walmart, and left behind DNA that just came back with zero matches in the national database. This is someone who planned but couldn't execute cleanly. Someone who crossed the line into serious violence for what appears to be the first

Eighteen days after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in the Catalina Foothills outside Tucson, the evidence the nation was banking on just came back empty.
