The FBI\u2019s Phoenix office has released an updated description of a man seen in doorbell camera footage connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and increased the reward for information leading to her recovery to $100,000. The man is described as about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with an average build, carrying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack, according to CNN. Officials said the clearer description is meant to sharpen public focus and reduce the flood of unverified tips.<\/p>\n
Since early February, investigators have received more than 13,000 tips and nearly 18,000 calls. Authorities noted that outreach from \u201cpsychics, mystics, and clairvoyants,\u201d though often well-intentioned, has complicated efforts to prioritize credible leads. Nearly two weeks after 84-year-old Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1, officials are carefully reviewing information while urging the public to concentrate on relevant details.<\/p>\n
Investigators have asked residents within a two-mile radius of Guthrie\u2019s home to submit surveillance footage, especially from January 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight and January 31 between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. They are also interested in reports of suspicious vehicles around 10 a.m. At least one unconfirmed tip involves a white van.<\/p>\n
Authorities are analyzing physical evidence, including a glove found about a mile and a half from Guthrie\u2019s home. Forensic testing may include fingerprint and DNA analysis, though officials caution it could be unrelated. A 36-year-old man, Carlos Palazuelos, was briefly detained and questioned but denied involvement and was released.<\/p>\n
The FBI says bringing Guthrie home safely remains the top priority. The updated description and increased reward reflect a focused effort to generate actionable information while carefully reviewing all leads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
