"Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home two weeks ago, setting off a potent chain reaction of federal and local criminal investigation, amateur sleuthing and public obsession that so far has resulted in neither the 84-year-old grandmother being located or anyone named as a suspect or, indeed, arrested. It is a case that is both enthralling and baffling the American public,"
"On Thursday suspicions grew that the case may not be a kidnap-for-ransom scheme focused on the mother of the NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie or at least that her abduction did not start out as a kidnapping but perhaps a burglary gone wrong. Guthrie's family have ceased issuing appeals to the would-be kidnapper or kidnappers. No communication is recorded. No ransom has been paid."
"But the FBI has doubled the reward for information leading to an arrest to $100,000, offered a description of a man 5ft 9in or 5ft 10in tall with an average build, and given a description of a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker backpack he was wearing. We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving, the FBI stated in the X post."
Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old grandmother, disappeared from her Tucson home on February 1. Federal and local law enforcement launched a criminal investigation and received thousands of public tips and calls. Investigators have not located Guthrie, named any suspects, or made any arrests. Investigators considered a kidnap-for-ransom scenario but later examined a possible burglary gone wrong. Guthrie's family stopped issuing appeals; no communication or ransom demands have occurred. The FBI increased the reward to $100,000, released a suspect description and backpack details, and reported receiving more than 13,000 tips.
