The FBI has released new identifying details about the suspect who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie — and has doubled its initial cash reward for information leading to a break in the case.

“Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance,” the FBI’s Phoenix office posted on X.

Forensic analysis of doorbell camera footage at the 84-year-old’s Tucson, Ariz., home has revealed several identifying factors about the masked, armed abductor who was seen on her doorstep, officials announced.

Nancy’s alleged kidnapper is a male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with an average build, the FBI Phoenix office said. He was also wearing a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack in the doorbell video, authorities added.

“We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving. Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case,” the FBI said in the statement.

The FBI added that its agents review every tip for credibility and determine how the information can be “acted upon by law enforcement.”

“Media outlets should direct tips they receive to the FBI. Additionally, we do not comment on tips and information we receive regarding ongoing investigations,” the bureau added.

Last Thursday, the FBI announced it would award up to $50,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy or the arrest of her alleged abductor.
