The FBI has raised the reward for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old Arizona resident and mother of television host Savannah Guthrie, from $50,000 to $100,000. Nancy Guthrie went missing from her home in Pima County on February 1, leading police to discover signs that she had been forcibly taken. Blood traces were found near the door of her home, which has heightened the urgency of the investigation. Earlier this week, the FBI released surveillance footage showing a person in a ski mask near the home, suggesting that the missing person was abducted.

The FBI has reported receiving over 13,000 tips related to the case, indicating a strong public interest and concern for Nancy's safety. However, complications have arisen between the FBI and the Pima County sheriff's office, with reports of a power struggle over how the investigation is being handled. The FBI is seeking key evidence, including a glove found at Nancy's residence, which it wishes to analyze in its own lab rather than share with the sheriff's department. This conflict could lead to delays in the investigation and impacts on how evidence is gathered and processed.

As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, the escalating reward reflects the urgency and seriousness of the situation. With mounting media attention and public pressure, it is crucial for law enforcement agencies to work together effectively to solve the case and ensure Nancy's safe return. The involvement of high-profile individuals, including her well-known daughter Savannah Guthrie, further underscores the case's significance, making it a focal point for news coverage across the country.
