See terms. In an agonizing new video, Savannah Guthrie offers up a $1 million reward for the return of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.

But we need to know where she is. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery.

And law enforcement sources say the two photos of the suspect on Nancy's front porch were taken on different days, indicating the suspect appears to have visited Guthrie's house before the kidnapping. But sheriff Kristanos disputes this. And Mick's DNA results are back from the 84 year old grandmother's home. Will they provide enough evidence to help investigators as we enter week four? Meanwhile, an elderly man disappeared back in 2024 and turned up buried in the Catalina foothills just a few months ago. The homicide team is investigating. Does this mean there's a murderer on the loose in t? I'm Lyndon Blake and this is finding Nancy Guthrie, a daily wire true crime investigation. It is Tuesday, February 24th. We are in day 24 and the search for Nancy Guthrie. And it was a big day of news. On day 24. Savannah Guthrie made a horribly agonizing video about her missing mom. Where in there, she puts up a million dollars from the family for any information leading to her mother or the person or persons who are responsible for her mother. And in this video, you could just see the pain on her face. I called it horribly agonizing because we haven't heard from Savannah in a week and a half, essentially. And this is a long video, about four minutes. And in that video, for the first time, she talked about how her family knows that there's a good chance her mom's dead, that her mom could be in heaven with her, her parents and her late husband and her brother. And just hearing Savannah talk about that, I mean, she literally was fighting back tears. But then in the video, she also said they believe in miracles. And either way, she Wants either her mom's body home so they can have a funeral or her mother home so they can celebrate this miraculous homecoming with her. But in that video is when she announced that $1 million reward. And you have to ask the question, and I've said this all day, it's not necessarily fair to scrutinize a family that is going through something so horrible. But you have the right to wonder, why didn't you put up the reward on day one? Why day 24 now, according to NBC, where obviously Savannah Guthrie works, they said that the family was ready to offer a cash reward from the beginning, but they were advised not to do so because law enforcement didn't want to have this overwhelming impulse of tips and they didn't have the infrastructure set up for the field leads. And that to me was weird because I reached out to some of my law enforcement sources and I'm like, why would the law enforcement official tell them to do that? And my source said, we would never tell someone to do that. That is completely the family's decision. And when you have a family, I mean, Nancy's home's worth over a million dollars. Savannah is the host of the Today show. This family's not hurting for cash flow. And when you have them not put up reward money until day 24, that makes me sad. If they were truly given that advice by law enforcement, because a million dollars is a big deal and money talks in investigations. But according to NBC, they were advised otherwise. But on day 24, nearing 28 days, four weeks on the dot since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in the middle of the night, the families put up a million dollars for information. And in that video, Savannah just pleaded for anyone who knows something. And this reward is for anyone that could tell investigators, hey, I know this. And that leads to an arrest or leads to Nancy Guthrie. She wants someone. She said, this is your sign. Say something. Because someone knows who is in that doorbell camera video. And this family is hurting. It's just horrible. I do want to say one part of the video that just shows what type of family the Guthrie's are in Savannah. In the video, they said they're donating also half a million dollars to the national center for missing and exploited children because they know they're not the only family going through this. There's been so many things where. Why are we not talking about every single missing child in America? This goes for any type of crime. Not every type of crime is going to make it to the top of the news cycles. That's just not how it works. It's very unfortunate. You wish you could give time to everything because everything deserves attention. But I thought this was a good move on their part, and it shows that they're not alone. And after they get to the other side of this, I'm sure Savannah and the family, they're gonna have to lean on other people that have been through the same things to cope and to try to heal from this. Another big thing. This is huge. If true. I say if true because this is just from sources that have told a multitude of news outlets that what many people speculated is true, that the images from the doorbell cameras were indeed from two different nights. There was one image in particular when the FBI put out the images of the front doorbell suspect that didn't look like the others. One image, the person did not have a backpack. The person didn't have the gun on his waist. And this. I could be just looking into it too much for a lot of people online looked into it, that it was just noticeably darker outside. The moon was in a different stage during that time than the February 1st. You know, in the middle of the night time where you see the person with a gun on their waist in that backpack. This is big because this indicates, again, if true, because Pima county said anything that's been said about two different dates is just speculation. But if this is true, that means multitude of things. Well, the first thing it could mean is the person that did this to Nancy Guthrie canvassed the home before the night she was taken from her bed. And that brings in a whole new timeline into the investigation. You have the official timeline. It's your backbone. It's what you go off of. But this previous date changes everything. And there was that January 11th. Why January 11th that law enforcement wanted camera footage from? Well, I mean, could that be the image with no backpack? Was that from January 11th? We don't know. They, of course, have expanded that window for videotapes since then. But January 11 was when the first other date besides that, February 1, stood out. It could also mean that they're two different people. You could assume multiple people were involved in this. That has never been stated by law enforcement. But if you're looking at the photos like I am the backpack van, his shoes look different than the photo of the person. Not with the backpack. There's like a black marking on the shoes, not with the backpack. I mean, you could look at it and think there's like a Nike symbol or something on there. And the builds look similar to me. But, I mean, it's an average build that we're looking for 5, 9 to 5, 10. I mean it wouldn't be the craziest thing for two people around that same height. But those are the two things that these different photos, if the sources were right and they told multiple news agencies that yes, two different dates that it would indicate and investigators, they know more than we know. But it just makes me think also that there's a way for Google to get more footage from those cameras. And one more thing that the alleged earlier date tells me is did Nancy, was she not there at the earlier date? Because if she was and her nest camera was functioning, you get some type of alert and the footage doesn't just automatically go kapoof, it stays there for a couple of hours as we've been told. Was there not an alert? Did she not call 911 when she saw a person detected? I don't know. Even if you're not there, did she not have it on her phone where she would get an alert? I mean, I know she's 84, but a lot of times these elderly people, you know, have the kids that set them up and teach their parents how to use this technology. And that's just something that we don't know, but it's something to definitely think about how or if she was alerted on that earlier date. Another bit of news today that's a little discouraging is the DNA found inside Nancy Guthrie's home was only a partial sample and it was not viable for codis. CODIS is that FBI database. That is what a source familiar with the investigation told News Nation. That is discouraging because the DNA in the house was the best bet is a better bet. Thank you. The random glove found a mile and a half away. But the DNA in the house, that biological DNA, if it's not coming up with something then you're gonna have to go back to again. Just someone spotting this person, noticing someone that's been acting different in your life, noticing someone that has been not present in your life. And then again, which we know to be true, the FBI is still working with Walmart and other stores around Tucson for the backpack, the jacket, the shoes, the gun holster, the gun, the trying to identify via purchase history who the person in the doorbell camera is. There's this other case in Pima county involving an old person. This time a 77 year old man that is still not solved. And this is Thomas Reuter. Went missing a little over a year ago. His bones were found in the desert in October. He was finally Identified in November as Thomas Reuter. But the interesting part about this is there's still no cause of death. So even if you, you have bones, there's technology, there is science out there that will point you in the direction. Blunt force trauma, gunshot wound, self inflicted gunshot wound. And right now this is in Pima county. The homicide unit is investigating and there's no answers. And you hear from people that live there that this kind of stuff just doesn't happen here. But man, you have two old people in a timeline that have gone missing. One of them was found in the desert. Nancy still hasn't been found. But even the person that was found in the desert, his family doesn't have closure of what happened to him. And he was 77 years old at the end of his life, just as Nancy was at the end of hers. So is there just someone out in Pima county that is killing old people? Canvassing old people's house, looking for vulnerable people. It's just a rare thing. Kidnapping is rare. Kidnapping is a burden. And kidnapping an 84 year old is just unheard of. But those are the developments that we have today. Good developments. I think the reward money will help. I don't know if it's too late, but you would hope that money will continue to talk and someone out there has a heart and sees Savannah Guthrie's plea to just help them find answers for their mom. We'll continue to follow it. 1-800- call FBI. Is the tip line also 88 crime in Tucson has an anonymous tip line with their own reward as well. But now the money just is piling up with the Guthrie's new million dollar reward. I'm Lyndon Blake. This is finding Nancy Guthrie. A daily wire true crime investigation.
