On Thursday, April 16, ABC 7 reported that a private Florida lab working with the Pima County Sheriff's Department sent the DNA sample to the FBI within the past few days.

In February, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that DNA evidence from Nancy's home was "mixed," meaning it contained genetic material from more than one person.
"Our lab tells us that there are challenges with it," Nanos told NBC Nightly News of the Florida lab, per Fox News. "The technology is moving so fast and in such a frenzy that they think some of this stuff will resolve itself just in a matter of weeks, months, or maybe a year."
Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan. 31. As of writing, no suspect has been named, despite Savannah offering a $1 million reward in exchange for information leading to her mother's recovery.
