FBI releases description of Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect as they increase reward for key information to $100K

The FBI has revealed new details about the suspect in Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping, and increased the reward for key information to $100,000.

FBI Phoenix shared on X Thursday that the suspect is a male who’s approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build.

“Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” the post reads.

“New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.”

The FBI noted that the suspect was wearing a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack. They also shared that they’ve already collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to the case.

“Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement,” the post reads. “Threat Intake Examiners at the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post in which dozens of agents and investigators are assigned leads and tips to action each shift.”

The post concluded, “Continue to submit information to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or to help us bring Nancy home.”

Officials’ last press conference was on Feb. 5, with an initial $50,000 reward offered for “information leading to the recovery of Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance” at the time.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department noted Thursday that all evidence, including a suspicious black glove found Wednesday, are being “submitted for analysis … as part of the investigative process.”

The Post was first to report news of the glove, which the FBI discovered on a dirt path near Nancy’s house.

Officials are anticipating a “higher presence of law enforcement activity going forward” in the area as they “continue to follow up on viable leads throughout the community … as more leads come in” regarding the 84-year-old’s disappearance.
