The FBI has intensified its efforts to locate Nancy Guthrie, daughter of ‘Today’ anchor Savannah Guthrie, by providing more information about her disappearance. The details come nearly two weeks after Nancy went missing from her home in Arizona, as authorities disclose their primary suspect’s characteristics, indicating that the individual is likely male.
In a statement released on February 12, the FBI described the suspect as a man standing between 5’9″ and 5’10” with a medium build. This information was gleaned from surveillance footage taken from Nancy’s doorbell camera. The FBI’s post on X highlighted that the suspect was seen carrying a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack in the video.
The surveillance footage, recorded on the morning of February 1 when Nancy disappeared, shows a figure at her front door, seemingly attempting to disable the camera. The person is also seen with a firearm in a holster positioned at their waist, further raising concerns about their intentions.
In addition to releasing the suspect’s description, the FBI has announced an increase in their reward offer, now pledging up to $100,000 for any information that leads to Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts or results in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.
Along with their most detailed description of a suspect so far, the FBI also announced they’re “increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”
“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving,” the bureau said. “Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.”
In addition, the FBI shared multiple photos of a backpack that’s the same brand and model described in their new details.
“Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement,” law enforcement’s social media post continued. “Threat Intake Examiners at the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post in which dozens of agents and investigators are assigned leads and tips to action each shift.”
While authorities first claimed no footage was available to review from Nancy’s doorbell camera, they later announced “residential data located in backend systems” was recovered.
“Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said in a Feb. 10 statement provided to Oxygen, “showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”
