Nancy Guthrie was, in her daughter’s words, “taken from her bed in the dark of night” in her suburban Tucson home on February 1.
So far, no DNA matches have been found to known criminals in the federal database. Ransom letters received after the kidnapping contained no evidence that Guthrie was still alive. Locals have been detained and released as leads have dried up.
Along with her Instagram post, Savannah Guthrie posted a segment on the “Today” show informing viewers how to submit tips anonymously.
Former FBI agent Bryanna Fox explained to viewers how to submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers, a nonprofit organization that works with law enforcement and gives individuals a unique number or password that allows them to log into a website to see the status of their tip. If that tip leads to Nancy Guthrie, this provides the way for the tipster to be notified and given information on how to collect the reward.
Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is asked to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI. Guthrie offered the reward early this week.
“We need to know where she is. We want her to come home,” she said. “For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information leading us to her recovery.”
The Guthrie family offered the reward with the unusual caveat that it would be contingent on the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, rather than an arrest or prosecution, after consultation with police, according to sources familiar with the reward. The Guthrie family plans to donate $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Pima County Sheriff’s investigators are actively reviewing surveillance video of vehicles driving in the Catalina Foothills area where Nancy Guthrie lived, including areas farther from the residence after officials said Ring video appeared to show vehicles on the road around the time Guthrie’s pacemaker lost connection with her cell phone at home.
This week, the FBI moved its investigative command from Tucson to Phoenix. Officials insist the investigation is still going strong and they have some solid leads: Her blood is dripping onto the sidewalk. Her suspected kidnapper grabbed the Nest camera from the front door, but not before it captured the armed man in a ski mask with a backpack lurking on the porch and trying to cover the lens with his gloved hand. More than a dozen gloves have since been recovered from the surrounding community, including one that authorities say matched the gloves worn by the person in the video.
Sheriff’s investigators say they are still checking DNA from gloves recovered in the area and from Guthrie’s home, which was searched after she failed to show up to her church group on Sunday.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and his department have said there are multiple strands of DNA mixed from the home – meaning two or more people – that could pose a challenge to separate.
