Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for 13 days. She was last seen on the night of Jan. 31, when her family dropped her off at her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood. Tucson.
Authorities believe the case may involve kidnapping for ransom. Surveillance video from that night shows an armed man trying to tamper with the camera outside her home.
In the following days, many times ransom note Reports have been sent to the media. One of them demanded millions of dollars in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) for a safe return, with a deadline of February 9th. Guthrie and her two siblings said they were willing to pay the ransom, but there was no conclusive evidence that a ransom had been paid.
As the raid entered its 13th day Friday, the FBI (FBI) has released more details about the masked man seen in the video, who investigators now believe is the primary suspect.
The FBI describes the man as approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build. He was also seen wearing a black 25LOzark Trail Hikers Pack” backpack.
“We hope the updated description will help focus the tips we receive from the public,” the FBI said in a statement. “Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected more than 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.”
“Each tip is reviewed to ensure it is credible, relevant and information that law enforcement can act on. National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) threat intake inspectors and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post that assigns tips and action tips to dozens of agents and investigators every shift.”
The FBI also doubled the reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie, from $50,000 to $100,000.
Meanwhile, a video circulating on social media falsely claimed that a body was found in Pima County, Arizona, during a search and that the body “bears a resemblance” to Guthrie and has yet to be identified.
This statement is wrong. The video appears to be artificially generated and comes from an untrustworthy source. There have been no confirmed reports of a body being found and the investigation remains ongoing with a focus on safely locating Nancy Guthrie.
