TUCSON, Ariz. (TNND) — Authorities on Thursday released new information about the suspect in connection with the mysterious disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
They also shared images of an Ozark Trail Hiker Pack, which investigators said is a backpack the suspect was seen wearing in surveillance footage.
“New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division,” FBI Phoenix wrote on X.
“The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack. We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving,” the agency added.
FBI Phoenix also said the FBI is increasing its reward to $100,000 for information that leads to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
During the last 12 days, the agency said investigators collected more than 13,000 tips from the public.
“Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement,” according to the post. “Threat Intake Examiners at the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post in which dozens of agents and investigators are assigned leads and tips to action each shift.”
