Crazy rare,” the source said, before highlighting how “commercial building burglaries” happen at night and “residential during the day.”<\/p>\n FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER: RANSOM DEADLINE PASSES, KEY EVIDENCE EMERGES IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n A law enforcement source quickly threw cold water on reports attributing Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance to a burglary gone wrong.<\/span> (Ty ONeil\/AP Photo)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The source also questioned whether Guthrie\u2019s home would have been a likely burglary target.<\/p>\n “We don’t have any indication that [Guthrie] really kept anything valuable there and if this was a burglary gone wrong, they don’t take the victim with them usually,” the source said.<\/p>\n “I guess anything is possible but my gut says it’s something else entirely.”<\/p>\n Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos<\/a> also addressed the new report by a local Arizona TV news reporter<\/a> which claimed an inside source said investigators now believe the case was a “burglary gone wrong.”<\/p>\n The report also said DNA evidence collected from a Range Rover found outside a Culver\u2019s restaurant on Friday is being tested and alleged that many investigators believe Nancy Guthrie is still alive.<\/p>\n “It did not come from us. No idea and even though that is one of many possibilities, we would never speculate such a thing. We will let the evidence take us to motive,” the sheriff told Fox News correspondent Matt Finn.<\/p>\n Separately, the FBI<\/a> confirmed that a black glove recovered last week appears to match the one worn by the man seen on surveillance video at Guthrie\u2019s Tucson-area home.<\/p>\n ADVANCED VIDEO EQUIPMENT SEEN AT NANCY GUTHRIE HOME AS EXPERTS BREAK DOWN ITS POSSIBLE ROLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n DNA evidence collected from a Range Rover found outside a Culver\u2019s restaurant on Friday is reportedly being tested.<\/span> (Ty ONeil\/AP Photo)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n According to a statement provided to Arizona\u2019s Family on Sunday, the glove was found about two miles from Guthrie\u2019s home in a roadside field.
