URGENT & TERRIFYING LIVE — The FBI has officially released the first detailed physical & behavioral description of the prime suspect in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother Nancy — and announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest or a major case break!

The FBI has released new identifying details about the suspect who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie — and has doubled its initial cash reward for information leading to a break in the case.

“Today, the FBI is 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,” the FBI’s Phoenix office posted on X.

Forensic analysis of doorbell camera footage at the 84-year-old’s Tucson, Ariz., home has revealed several identifying factors about the masked, armed abductor who was seen on her doorstep, officials announced.

Nancy’s alleged kidnapper is a male, approximately 5’9” to 5’10” tall, with an average build, the FBI Phoenix office said. He was also wearing a black, 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack in the doorbell video, authorities added.

“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving. Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case,” the FBI said in the statement.
