Police Offering $50,000 Reward in Search for Savannah Guthrie’s Mom Nancy; Still ‘No Suspects’ or ‘Person of Interest’ After 5 Days

The FBI, which is jointly investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, has announced a $50,000 reward in the search for the mother of “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke told reporters on Thursday that the reward is for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie “and or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”

“The FBI has agents, analysts and professional staff employees working day and night with our partners at the sheriff’s department,” Janke said. “We have deployed additional intelligence and agents from our Phoenix office.”

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos also shared during the press briefing that no suspect has been identified in the disappearance case of Nancy Guthrie.

“At this time, we have not identified a suspect or a person of interest in this case,” Nanos said. “We are working our best to do that. To be clear: we have nobody of interest or any suspects that you would consider a prime suspect.”

The Pima County sheriff also pushed back against claims of forced entry, saying there is no indication it occurred in the disappearance.

“I have no clue where that comes from,” Nanos said. “We have been very consistent — we are not discussing that at all, whether it’s forced entry or not forced entry.”

Nanos presented a timeline of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance during the news conference, noting that at 1:47 a.m. MST on Sunday, Feb. 1, her doorbell camera was disconnected, though the software later detected movement at 2:12 a.m.; however, no video is available.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 at her Arizona residence. On Tuesday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said authorities were treating the disappearance as a crime after finding “very concerning” evidence in her home.

“I believe she was abducted,” Nanos told reporters. “She didn’t walk from there. She didn’t go willingly.”

On Wednesday, Savannah Guthrie posted a video to Instagram in which she and her siblings pleaded with their mother’s kidnapper.

“She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer,” Guthrie said. “We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen.”

Hours later, President Donald Trump wrote on TruthSocial that he was ordering federal law enforcement to assist in the rescue of Nancy Guthrie.

“I spoke with Savannah Guthrie, and let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote. “We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely. The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.”
