TUCSON, Ariz. — The FBI announced on Thursday it is doubling its reward to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of anyone involved in Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance after releasing new details about a potential suspect.
FBI Phoenix said new “identifying details” about Guthrie’s potential abductor have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.
The suspect is described as a man, roughly 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, with an average build.
Officials also specified the brand of backpack the suspect was seen wearing in a video released Tuesday, confirming it was a black, 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.
