Anonymous donation raises reward for help finding Nancy Guthrie to over $200,000
An anonymous donation to the Pima County Attorney’s Office has raised the reward for helping authorities find Nancy Guthrie to over 200,000 on Thursday. The boost comes after the FBI did not find a DNA match on items found near Guthrie’s home.
WHAT TO KNOW
The search for Nancy Guthrie is in its third week. The 84-year-old disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, 18 days ago.
DNA found on a glove near Nancy Guthrie’s home as well as inside her residence didn’t produce a match in an FBI database, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said.
An Arizona gun store owner told Fox News Digital that an FBI agent asked him to review recent firearm purchases tied to a list of nearly two dozen people.
The FBI released a description of the suspect seen in a mask and gloves tampering with the doorbell camera in front of Nancy Guthrie’s home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1 around the time she went missing. The suspect is described as a male between 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build and was seen carrying a 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.
The FBI increased its reward to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
An anonymous donation again raised the reward for information to $200,000 on Wednesday.
Neighbor who knows Guthrie says community ‘very concerned,’ installs cameras after disappearance

A Tucson neighbor who knows missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie says the community is still struggling to process her disappearance and has taken new steps to protect his own home.
Lloyd Anderson, who lives near Guthrie and attended church with her, told Fox News Digital he recently installed security cameras following her disappearance.
“I have had alarms, and I just recently put cameras in too,” Anderson said, confirming the upgrades came after Guthrie vanished.
Anderson said the situation has been unsettling for neighbors.
“It’s certainly different. We’ve never gone through this before. It’s something we just have to live through,” he said. “And I knew Nancy, and I think she was a wonderful lady. And I think we just got to give her our best wishes and God’s help.”
He said he knew Guthrie from church and from seeing her around the neighborhood.
“She sat in church, and I knew her from the neighborhood here,” Anderson said. “And just like I’m doing now, walking by her house.”
He later noticed she stopped attending and reached out.
“I called her the first part of January and asked her why we hadn’t seen her,” he said, adding that she had begun attending other church gatherings and Bible discussions.
Like many in the area, Anderson said the uncertainty surrounding her disappearance weighs heavily on the community.
“Those things are all bothersome to all of us,” he said. “But I think everyone who knows about this is very concerned and hoping that she is returned to her family as she left.”
He added, “That’s getting less and less a possibility, I guess. I don’t know.”

Private investigator says he believes cartel took Nancy Guthrie, but not to Mexico

A private investigator with more than 35 years of experience said he believes Nancy Guthrie was abducted by a cartel, but that the 84-year-old missing woman was not taken across the border to Mexico.
Authorities had already said there was no evidence she had been taken to Mexico and that investigators had been in contact with Mexican officials.
Bill Garcia, a private investigator who had solved previous missing persons’ cases in California, said he has been paying close attention to Guthrie’s case and that he has worked many cases in the same area as her home in Tucson, Arizona.
“That particular area of Arizona is a high drug and money transporting area,” he told Border Report. “It has deepened my belief that this is in some way related to a money-making venture by people involved with a cartel.”
He said the big “giveaway” is the person captured in surveillance footage outside Guthrie’s front door.
“The person doesn’t appear to be very sophisticated, he does things a professional would not do. For instance, the way he approaches the camera … why would he pick up some shrubbery as it didn’t effectively cover up the camera?” Garcia said.
Garcia also noted the suspect’s clothing, backpack and a holster that iss typically made in Mexico and too big for the gun he had.
“Just the appearance and mannerisms makes me believe it is a low-level associate. If Nancy did come to the front door and contacted this person, I suspect there may be some type of struggle, most likely after the camera was removed,” he said.
Garcia also said he does not believe Guthrie was transported to Mexico because of the amount of surveillance and law enforcement between Tucson and the southern border.
“They would have to choose a location that’s safe and where they’re less likely to be caught in the act — that’s why I suspect she would be somewhat north of Tucson in that hundred-to-130-mile area between Tucson and outside of Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona. To me, that would be a more logical place to look for Nancy,” he said.
