FBI increases reward to $100,000 to find kidnapped TV host's mother
The FBI has raised the reward to $100,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie, who was kidnapped in January and is the mother of TV presenter Savannah Guthrie.
On January 31, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped, prompting the FBI to increase the reward for information leading to her location to $100,000. This case has attracted international attention, especially due to Nancy's connection to Savannah Guthrie, a prominent host on the 'Today' show. The FBI's announcement came on a Wednesday, as they strive to gather more leads that could help in finding her.
In their ongoing investigation, the FBI revealed that they have garnered new details about a suspect by analyzing footage from a doorbell camera. The recorded footage shows a man who was armed and wore a mask covering his entire face that concealed his identity. The agency described the suspect as being approximately 5'9" to 5'10" tall and of average build, though they have not yet identified him formally or confirmed any connections to the mother of the TV presenter.
There are still many uncertainties surrounding Nancy's fate, including whether she is alive, as the investigation continues. Initially, a person was detained due to potential involvement in the abduction; however, that individual has since been released. The need for information remains critical as authorities work tirelessly to resolve this disturbing incident and bring Nancy Guthrie back to her family.
