Overview
- The TODAY co-anchor announced up to $1 million for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery and said the family will donate $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
- The FBI is offering a separate $100,000 reward, with another $102,500 available through Tucson Crime Stoppers, and asks anyone with firsthand information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
- Authorities say more than 20,000 tips have been received as several hundred local and federal personnel continue searches and forensic work, including analysis of porch blood and partial DNA from items such as gloves.
- ABC News and CNN reported that one released doorbell image of the masked suspect may predate the disappearance, a point the Pima County Sheriff’s Department disputes as speculative because the images lack timestamps.
- Volunteer groups have launched independent desert searches despite law enforcement urging coordination, and a backpack found by searchers was determined not to be connected to the case.
