Nancy Guthrie Disappearance: FBI Releases Suspect Description & Ongoing Investigation

The search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, continues nearly two weeks after her disappearance from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, 2026. The FBI has released a detailed suspect description, identifying a male between 5’9” and 5’10” with an average build, seen in doorbell footage wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack. The reward for information has doubled to $100,000, with over 13,000 tips submitted. Investigators are examining surveillance footage from neighbors, and evidence such as gloves and DNA has been collected, though Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that DNA not belonging to Nancy has been found at the scene. Authorities are also reviewing sales of Ozark Trail backpacks at local Walmart stores to identify potential suspects. The case has garnered significant media attention, with social media influencers contributing to the discussion, though law enforcement has cautioned against spreading unverified rumors. Weather conditions, including rain, may hinder evidence collection, but the FBI remains committed to the investigation. The sheriff’s department has been under scrutiny for its handling of evidence, with conflicting reports about cooperation with the FBI. President Trump has publicly commented on the case, emphasizing the importance of federal assistance, while local authorities continue their efforts to find Guthrie. The investigation also involves examining potential casing of the home prior to the abduction, and the FBI has increased the reward to attract insider tips, possibly from individuals close to the suspect. The case remains unresolved, with authorities urging the public to submit surveillance footage and tips to aid in the search.
