Next tonight, new details in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The sheriff telling ABC News DNA taken from her home is a mixed sample of up to four people.
Multiple labs trying to untangle it, and what we're now learning about that single strand of hair found at the scene.
Here's ABC's chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katersky.
>> Tonight, ABC News has learned investigators searching for the man who abducted Nancy Guthrie are ruling out one of the forensic clues retrieved from her Tucson area home.
They finished testing hair, and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told us today it does not point to a suspect.
>> I think the hair analysis was done and there was nothing.
>> That leaves a mixed sample of DNA as the only potential piece of biological evidence left.
The sheriff said they're working to untangle a mix of DNA from as many as four people.
>> My understanding is there's at least five, maybe six labs across the country that are working on all of this.
>> And they are using genetic genealogy.
>> You're looking at millions of genetic markers trying to determine which one which ones belong to each of those individuals.
If they are able to accomplish this, it will be a first and and it will be groundbreaking.
>> And tonight, 6 months after Guthrie was taken from her home, the sheriff is unable to say whether that masked man was working alone.
>> I don't think anybody's here ready to say it's one guy, it's 10 guys.
Did he have help? Could have.
>> Make the right choice.
Help us find her.
>> Just this week, Savannah Guthrie begged for her mother's kidnapper to do the right thing.
>> Tell us where to look for her.
I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing.
>> The sheriff told us he still believes this case is solvable, but he could offer no timeline.
With Aaron Katersky, our thanks to you.
