A Milwaukee lawyer has pledged a $100,000 reward for any information that leads to finding Nancy Guthrie, a missing grandmother from Arizona.
As reported by FOX 6 Milwaukee, Michael Hupey, known for his work in personal injury law, announced that this reward will be managed through Crime Stoppers.
Hupey explained to the news outlet that Crime Stoppers allows individuals to submit tips anonymously. He expressed concern that the FBI’s requirement for personal information might “deter people from coming forward” with crucial details.
“Nancy is an 84-year-old woman, and I’m dissatisfied with how the investigation and the reward have been managed,” Hupey remarked.
“I believe the process could have been more effective. If the $100,000 was administered through Crime Stoppers, we might have made more progress by now,” he added.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, investigators believed someone took Nancy Guthrie against her will, from her Catalina Foothills home.
She was last seen January 31, after family members dropped her off at home, following dinner. They reported her missing the following day, when she failed to show up for church.
Nancy Guthrie is the mother of “Today” show host, Savannah Guthrie, who has routinely posted Instagram videos, pleading for her mother’s safe return.
Meanwhile, the FBI has released information pertaining to an armed suspect spotted on Nancy’s Nest doorbell camera. According to agents, he:
- Stands 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall
- Has a medium to average build
- Had on black gloves, a mask and
- Had on a black 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack, that is sold exclusively at Walmart
- Had on clothing likely bought at Walmart, although likely not exclusive at Walmart

“If the person who knows who the perpetrator is doesn’t want his name exposed, wants a reward and has information that will lead to an arrest – crime stoppers is the perfect place to do it,” Hupy added.
“No one did it, so I am doing it.”
The FBI’s $100,000 reward also remains in place, for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in Guthrie’s disappearance.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Tipsters can also contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900.
