In a significant update to the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, the FBI has released additional details about the case. Nancy, the daughter of ‘Today’ anchor Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Arizona residence twelve days ago, prompting an intensive search and investigation.

Authorities have now shared a physical description of the primary suspect, believed to be male. According to the FBI, the individual is around 5’9” to 5’10” tall with an average build. This crucial information was gleaned from surveillance footage captured by Nancy’s doorbell camera.

In a statement released on February 12 on the social media platform X, the FBI noted, “The suspect is seen wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.” The footage, recorded on the morning of February 1 when Nancy went missing, shows the suspect at her front door attempting to disable the camera. Notably, the individual appears to be armed, with a firearm visible in a holster around their waist.

In conjunction with providing this more detailed suspect description, the FBI has announced an increase in the reward for information. They are now offering up to $100,000 for any leads that could result in locating Nancy Guthrie or lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.

“We are hopeful that this updated description will help us focus the public’s tips,” the FBI stated. Since the beginning of the case on February 1, 2026, they have received over 13,000 tips from the public, underscoring the widespread interest and concern surrounding Nancy’s mysterious disappearance.

“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving,” the bureau said. “Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.”

In addition, the FBI shared multiple photos of a backpack that’s the same brand and model described in their new details. 

“Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement,” law enforcement’s social media post continued. “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.” 

While authorities first claimed no footage was available to review from Nancy’s doorbell camera, they later announced “residential data located in backend systems” was recovered.

“Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said in a Feb. 10 statement provided to Oxygen, “showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.”
