FBI increases reward for information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance to $100K

Описание: The FBI has increased the reward for information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance to $100,000 and provided more details on the description of her suspected kidnapper.

Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today show star Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for nearly two weeks, and authorities are desperate to find her.

The FBI Phoenix Field Office announced the $100,000 reward “for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance” in an X post on Thursday.

New details have also emerged, including photos of a backpack that the suspect was wearing the morning Nancy was taken from her home in the Catalina Foothills, just outside of Tucson, Arizona.

“The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10” tall, with an average build,” the FBI said.

In a video taken from Nancy’s doorbell camera, the suspect is seen “wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack,” according to the agency.

“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving,” the X post read. “Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.”

Authorities released the “previously inaccessible” video of the suspect on Tuesday. It showed “an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera” at Nancy’s front door, the FBI wrote on X at the time.

The suspect was wearing a ski mask, gloves and the backpack mentioned in Thursday’s post.

“The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems,” the FBI explained.

Savannah and her family are distraught over the disappearance of Nancy.

In an Instagram post earlier Thursday, Savannah shared a heart-warming video from her childhood, writing, “Our lovely mom. We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope.”

There have been reports of ransom notes, demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy’s safe return.

In a video posted to Instagram last week, Savannah said as she sat beside her siblings, “We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her.

“This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
