How Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance compares to other missing persons cases

The FBI offers $100,000 for tips as investigators review 40,000 to 50,000 leads in the unresolved disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.

  • On February 1, Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her Tucson home, and law enforcement and the FBI continue searching into the third week without identified suspects.
  • The Guthrie family's profile has drawn national attention as Nancy Guthrie, missing 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, received alleged ransom notes amid unclear motive.
  • FBI doorbell footage released on Feb. 10 captures a masked person with a backpack and handgun, while investigators recovered black gloves and DNA with no CODIS hits by February 17; authorities also deployed a helicopter-mounted signal sniffer to detect transmissions from Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker.
  • Authorities' resource surge includes a $100,000 reward and nearly 400 personnel, with 40,000 to 50,000 leads received, sheriff Chris Nanos said.
  • Past high-profile disappearances show outcomes vary widely: the Gabby Petito case took three weeks, Isabel Celis' body was found five years later, and Madeleine McCann has been missing for over 18 years, with the FBI estimating 750,000–800,000 cases annually.
