More than 20,000 tips have been received by FBI in Nancy Guthrie case

PHOENIX — The search for Nancy Guthrie is in its third week and the FBI announced Thursday that it has received more than 20,000 tips in relation to her disappearance.

The reward for finding Guthrie has also doubled to more than $200,000 after an anonymous person donated to the cause earlier this week.

The 84-year-old mother of “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie hasn’t been seen since she was dropped off at her Tucson home the night of Jan. 31.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI have been working under the assumption that she was taken against her will that night or the next morning.

As of Thursday, PCSD said the only clothing item of interest that’s been positively identified was the Ozark backpack sold at Walmart. The agency added in an announcement that investigators are working to determine where other items captured on Guthrie’s Nest front door camera footage were purchased.

On Tuesday, authorities reported that gloves found 2 miles from the Catalina Foothills residence did not match anything in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System. CODIS is a national database of genetic evidence collected from offenders and crime scenes.

The gloves were of high interest despite being found so far from the crime scene because they appeared to match the ones seen in surveillance camera images from Guthrie’s front porch.

Authorities are continuing their analysis of DNA found at Guthrie’s residence.

Those with information about the case are asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
