Reward for Nancy Guthrie’s return raised to $200,000

The reward for information about the disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, has been increased to $200,000 after a glove containing DNA near the scene did not match any profiles in federal criminal databases.

Mrs. Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1, when she vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona.

An anonymous donor on Wednesday raised the reward for Mrs. Guthrie’s return or information on her whereabouts to $200,000, according to multiple news outlets.

The FBI said a glove found about 2 miles from the house appeared to match those worn by a masked suspect recorded on a porch camera. Investigators used advanced forensic techniques such as genetic genealogy to analyze the DNA found on the glove to attempt to identify a suspect, but the search came up empty.

The Pima County sheriff’s department said it might use DNA genealogy databases to see if it can find a match, as police did to solve a decades-old series of murders in California and the fatal stabbings of four college students in Idaho, according to The Associated Press.

The only biological evidence found of Mrs. Guthrie from her disappearance is blood on the front steps of her house.

The Guthrie family has been cleared as possible suspects.

Former Pima County Sheriff Richard Carmona criticized the sheriff’s department’s leadership of the investigation.

“We are just disappointed at the level or lack of leadership at the senior position and some of the remarks that are quite embarrassing,” Mr. Carmona said in a statement to Fox News.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied any rift between his department and the FBI, saying in an interview with Fox 10 that they had a “great working relationship.”
