The FBI maintained that it still has a reward of up to $100,000.
The FBI on Feb. 19 said that it has received thousands of tips related to the disappearance of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother as the case nears its third week.
In a post on X, the law enforcement bureau said that more than 19,000 tips have been submitted to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center since Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1.
The post did not provide any other updates about the investigation. Previously, officials have said that they discovered a crime scene at Nancy Guthrie’s home in the Tucson, Arizona, area and said they believe she was abducted.
Authorities have said her blood was found on the front porch. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.
“Threat intake examiners are working 24/7” to answer calls to the 1-800-CALL-FBI tip line and review tips submitted through the FBI’s website, the agency said in the X post on Feb. 19.
The FBI stated that it still has a reward of up to $100,000 for information relating to Nancy Guthrie’s location or the arrest and conviction of a suspect involved in her disappearance.
Last week, the FBI released surveillance videos of a masked person wearing a handgun holster outside Guthrie’s front door on the night she vanished. A porch camera recorded video of a person with a backpack who was wearing a ski mask, long pants, a jacket, and gloves.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and the FBI have said the individual seen in the footage was using a 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Backpack. They’ve described the person as a male with a medium build who is between 5 feet, 9 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches tall.
Investigators announced on Feb. 15 that a glove discovered near the Guthrie home has been sent for DNA testing. Later, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that after testing, there was no match in the FBI’s national database.
Nanos said on Feb. 16 that members of Guthrie’s family, including siblings and spouses, are not suspects.
“The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” Nanos said in a statement.
