"Retired G-man James Gagliano took a swipe at the federal government on Fox News on Friday for failing to raise the reward for information in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, even after the FBI doubled it to $100,000. As the heavily scrutinized search for the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie hits Day 13, Gagliano appeared on Fox & Friends several times on Friday morning to provide analysis on the head-scratching case that has so far led to no arrests."
"They put out a reward release of $2,500. They rapidly moved that up to $50,000. And, to your point, on Thursday, $100,000 was the high point of the money for reward. I got a phone call from Hoover-era agent who told me, James, this is insane we got to move the reward money up to $250,000, a quarter of a million dollars, and why is that? Because many people would sell their own mother out for a quarter of a million dollars."
Retired FBI agent James Gagliano criticized the federal response to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and called the $100,000 reward insufficient. He recommended increasing the reward to at least $250,000, arguing that a quarter-million-dollar incentive would prompt more people to provide information. Gagliano invoked the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping, noting combined historical rewards equated to $75,000 then and roughly $1.8 million in today’s dollars. The FBI had doubled its reward to $100,000; the case reached Day 13 with extensive media attention and no arrests to date.
