The family of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of prominent US news anchor Savannah Guthrie, has announced a dramatic increase in the reward for information leading to her safe return, now offering $1 million. This comes on day 24 of the intensive search for the missing Tucson, Arizona resident, who vanished under suspicious circumstances.Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, 2026, and was reported missing around midday on February 1 after failing to attend church services. Authorities from the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI believe she was taken from her home against her will, possibly during the night, describing the case as a likely kidnapping or abduction.Investigators have focused on a prime suspect captured on footage from Nancy's Nest doorbell camera. The individual, a man, is believed to have visited the home prior to her disappearance, including appearing at the front door on at least one earlier occasion. A glove similar to one worn by the suspect was discovered near the residence, and DNA was recovered from it—but it did not match any profiles in the FBI's database.The investigation has been complicated by multiple ransom notes demanding approximately $6 million in cryptocurrency. At least one such note, with a deadline that expired on February 9, was confirmed as a hoax; a 42-year-old man from California has been charged in connection with sending a fake demand.Despite these setbacks, the public response has been overwhelming. Detectives have fielded nearly 40,000 tips, and the search efforts have reportedly expanded, with some leads pointing toward Mexico as authorities seek a potential breakthrough.In a heartfelt Instagram video posted on Tuesday, Savannah Guthrie tearfully announced the boosted reward—up from an initial $200,000 ($100,000 each from the FBI and Tucson Crime Stoppers)—and revealed that the family has donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She emphasized the dual hopes the family clings to amid the agonizing uncertainty."We still believe in a miracle, we still believe that she can come home—hope against hope," Savannah said. "We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone, she may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves."She made a direct plea to anyone with knowledge: "Please, if you hear this message, if you've been waiting and you haven't been sure, let this be your sign to please come forward. Tell what you know, and help us bring our beloved mom home, so that we can either celebrate a glorious, miraculous homecoming or celebrate the beautiful, brave and courageous and noble life that she has lived."Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has publicly defended the family against cruel speculation, stating that all Guthrie family members have been ruled out as suspects. "To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel," he said.Nancy, who uses a walker due to mobility issues, relies on a pacemaker and requires daily heart medication, heightening concerns for her well-being. The case has transformed quiet Tucson—a retiree-friendly city—into a focal point for national and international media attention, with amateur sleuths and onlookers gathering in the area.The FBI's Phoenix office continues to urge anyone with direct information to contact their tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. As the search enters its fourth week, the Guthrie family's message remains one of enduring hope tempered by realism, as they await any development that could bring Nancy home or provide closure. #News #fyp #nancyguthrie #beloud #trending #viral Beloud
