The family of Nancy Guthrie, an 84‑year‑old woman who has been missing for more than three weeks, has announced a $1 million reward for information that leads to her safe return or recovery, escalating efforts to resolve a case that has drawn national attention in the United States. The appeal was made publicly by her daughter, NBC “Today” show co‑anchor Savannah Guthrie, in an emotional video posted on social media as authorities continue to investigate her disappearance.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen in her home near Tucson, Arizona on 1 February, and law enforcement officials believe she was taken against her will. Early in the investigation, law enforcement released surveillance footage showing a masked individual outside her residence shortly before her disappearance, and evidence at the scene, including drops of blood on her front porch and a glove recovered nearby, suggests a possible abduction. However, those leads have yet to produce a definitive breakthrough.
In her video message, Savannah Guthrie pleaded with the public to help bring her mother home, saying the family still “believes in a miracle” but also acknowledging the possibility that Nancy may no longer be alive. The substantial reward — funded by the Guthrie family — is intended to encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward, even if they have been reluctant to do so previously.
The new family reward complements an existing $100,000 reward offered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for tips leading to Nancy Guthrie’s location or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance. Other independent reward offers from Crime Stoppers and anonymous donors have also contributed to the total incentives for information.
As the search extends into its fourth week, law enforcement officials continue to sift through tips and evidence. Savannah Guthrie has further pledged a $500,000 donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to support broader efforts aiding families of missing persons. She and her siblings have repeatedly urged the public to contact the FBI or local authorities with any credible information.
The case has resonated across the United States, drawing widespread support from community members and online commentators alike, and highlights the emotional strain on families navigating prolonged uncertainty when a loved one goes missing.
