The owner of the glove, we found working at a restaurant across the street,” Nanos said during the interview.The sheriff’s department posted to X on March 4 to confirm that the individual is “not part of this investigation.”Nanos said other gloves were sent to a Florida lab for DNA testing and could be helpful to the case, but the results will take some time. “It’s a challenge because we know we have DNA, but now we have to deal with that mixture and how we’re going to separate it,” Nanos told KVOA.Savannah Guthrie “plans to return” to the “Today” show at some point, NBC said Thursday, in the network’s first public comments about her future on the telecast.
