FBI gives new details on suspect in Nancy Guthrie case, doubles reward to $100K
"The FBI revealed new details about the man they now describe as the suspect in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, based on new evidence investigators gathered from the 84-year-old's doorbell camera. The suspect was described as a man around 5 feet 9 inches tall with an average build, the FBI said in a social media post Thursday evening. Footage from the doorbell camera of Guthrie's Tucson home showed the man was wearing a black "Ozark Trail Hiker Pack" backpack, according to the FBI."
"The FBI on Thursday also raised the reward for information leading to Guthrie's location or to the arrest of a person involved in her disappearance to $100,000. "We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving," the FBI's post said, which added that the agency has collected more than 13,000 tips about the case since Feb. 1, when Guthrie's family reported her missing."
"Her disappearance unfolded in front of a worldwide audience that was familiar with Savannah Guthrie as the host of the "Today" show and, over the past two weeks, saw her as a distraught daughter in search of her mother. The case has drawn intense interest from internet sleuths, a show of support from President Donald Trump and a flurry of special news segments, namely from NBC, Savannah Guthrie's home network. Still, it remained slow-moving and mysterious."
The FBI identified a suspect from doorbell camera footage and described him as about 5 feet 9 inches tall with an average build, wearing a black "Ozark Trail Hiker Pack" backpack. The agency raised the reward for information to $100,000 and reported receiving more than 13,000 tips since the family reported Guthrie missing on Feb. 1. Nancy Guthrie had dinner and played games at her daughter's home the evening before she was reported missing and was later dropped off at home. Investigators believe she did not leave the house on her own due to existing illnesses and mobility challenges. The case drew widespread public and media attention.
