$50,000 Offered For Return Of Nancy Guthrie

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is now offering a $50,000 reward for the return of the 84-year-old, who disappeared from her home on January 31.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, in conjunction with the FBI, announced on Thursday, February 5, a $50,000 reward for the return of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, according to Variety.

Per the outlet, the reward is for any information leading to Nancy’s whereabouts and/or “the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke.

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

Chris Nanos, of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, shared on Thursday that five days into the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance there are still “no suspects.”

“At this time, we have not identified a suspect or a person of interest in this case,” Nanos said at the briefing, per Variety. “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.”

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

In a video posted to Instagram, alongside her siblings Annie and Cameron, a visibly emotional Savannah pleaded for Nancy’s return.

“We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media,” Savannah said in the video. “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. Please, reach out to us.”

“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman,” Savannah continued. “You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley He is with you.”

The “Today” show co-anchor also stressed that she and her family will not give up searching for her.

“Everyone is looking for you mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We speak to you every moment and we pray without ceasing and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you,” she said.

NBC confirmed on February 4, that Mary Carillo and Terry Gannon will host the 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, while Ahmed Fahreed will host “Olympic Late Night,” as all three will take over duties from Guthrie, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“Our hearts go out to Savannah and the entire Guthrie family. They continue to have our full support,” Molly Solomon, executive producer/President of NBC Olympics Production, said in a statement announcing Guthrie’s replacements for the international sporting event.

Guthrie has been absent from the “Today” show since February 2, as she traveled to Arizona to join the search for her mother, who went missing on January 31.

On February 3, TMZ shared that a ransom note was sent to the outlet demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return to her family.

TMZ sent the ransom note to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department after determining its authenticity.

Upon receipt, the sheriff’s department said they are “aware of reports circulating about possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie” and “are taking all tips and leads very seriously.”
