Todays News: Savannah Guthrie Offers $1M Reward as Search for Nancy Continues
In todays news, Savannah Guthrie made a renewed public appeal on Feb. 27, saying the family’s $1 million reward for the recovery of her 84-year-old mother can be paid in cash. The plea came as investigators continue to seek tips after the woman was taken from her Tucson-area home and images showed a masked man at her doorstep; the FBI has released footage of an alleged abductor.
Todays News: Savannah's new plea
On Feb. 27, Savannah Guthrie posted a short video clip showing how members of the public can submit anonymous tips. Her written appeal said, "Please - be the one that brings her home. Tips can be anonymous, reward can be paid in cash, as explained here. " The message reiterated the family’s $1 million offer and asked anyone with information to come forward.
Reward and tip submission process
The family has set a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of the missing woman and emphasized that the reward can be paid in cash. Authorities have activated multiple tip channels: the FBI is urging anyone with information to call its hotline at 1-800-CALL-FBI, and the county sheriff’s department has established a local tipline plus a new online form for submissions. The family’s renewed outreach aims to increase the volume of actionable tips from the public.
Search evidence and timeline
Investigators say the woman went missing the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing on Feb. 1 after she did not show up for church. Authorities state she was taken from her Tucson-area home. Photos captured by a doorbell camera showed a masked man on the morning of the disappearance, and law enforcement released footage of an alleged abductor at her doorstep as part of the ongoing inquiry.
Community response and survivor perspective
Public reaction has included widespread sympathy for the family. An opinion piece published this week offered a survivor’s message to the Guthrie family, noting broad sympathy while saying few fully understand what the family is experiencing. The renewed public appeal and the cash reward have been presented as steps intended to prompt new leads from the community.
What happens next
If the renewed plea and the $1 million cash reward generate additional anonymous tips, investigators may obtain new leads to follow. Officials continue to encourage the public to use the established tip channels; the next investigative milestones will depend on whether those submissions provide verifiable information that can be corroborated by law enforcement. Details about any evolving investigative steps have not been publicly confirmed.
