PHOENIX – The total reward amount being offered in the Nancy Guthrie case is now over $200,000 after an anonymous donor contributed $100,000 to the cause, authorities announced Wednesday.
The new donation boosts Pima County’s 88-CRIME reward amount to $102,500. The FBI previously increased its offer to $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie’s location and/or an arrest and conviction in the case. The rewards are administered separately.
Nancy Guthrie, 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.

Latest on Nancy Guthrie investigation
The sheriff’s department said Wednesday that investigators are analyzing biological evidence found at Nancy Guthrie’s home, and that an unspecified number of DNA profiles are under lab analysis.
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.

The way it's going right now with the investigation, the anonymous donor will never have to pay the 100 grand
Doesn't appear Savannah worth millions has put up any money for the return of her mother? That's odd. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not to be morbid or disrespectful but I get this feeling she is stuffed in a barrel buried somewhere in the Mexican desert. Again, I could be wrong, hope I am.
I've been known to be wrong on occasion, like when picking a wife.
