TUCSON, ARIZONA — Federal and local authorities are intensifying efforts to locate Nancy Guthrie, a Tucson woman described as a vulnerable adult, as investigators expand a missing-persons investigation that has now triggered a substantial federal reward offer.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation Phoenix Field Office, working in coordination with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, announced that a reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to Guthrie’s recovery and/or the arrest and conviction of any individual involved in her disappearance.
According to investigators, Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the evening of January 31, 2026, at her residence in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson. Authorities have not disclosed evidence of forced entry or a confirmed sighting after that date, but stated that the circumstances surrounding her disappearance warranted immediate federal involvement.
Federal officials emphasized that Guthrie is considered medically vulnerable. She reportedly has difficulty walking, relies on a pacemaker, and requires daily medication to manage a serious heart condition. Investigators stated that these factors significantly elevate concern for her safety and make timely information from the public critical.
The FBI confirmed that the case is being handled as a missing-persons investigation with heightened risk indicators, rather than a routine welfare check. Authorities noted that while no arrests have been announced, all possibilities remain under active review, including the potential involvement of third parties.
As part of the investigation, the FBI has released a public Seeking Information bulletin containing Guthrie’s identifying details and last-known circumstances. That notice is available on the FBI’s official website at:
https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/nancy-guthrie
Investigators are urging anyone who may have seen Guthrie, noticed unusual activity in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood around the time of her disappearance, or possesses information that may appear minor or indirect to come forward. Federal authorities stressed that even small details can be critical in cases involving vulnerable adults.
Tips can be submitted directly to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or by submitting information online through the FBI’s tip portal at tips.fbi.gov. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
Federal and local officials stated that search and investigative efforts remain active and ongoing, and that the reward reflects the seriousness with which authorities are treating the case. They reiterated that public cooperation is often decisive in resolving missing-persons investigations, particularly when time and medical risk are factors.
The FBI stated that updates will be provided as new information becomes available and urged the public not to speculate, but to report verified observations or information through official channels.

As you well know, this case has been reported on by most of the news networks from the beginning of her disappearance. The FBI may know more than they are communicating but tonight’s report made it seem like they are still very in the dark. The lack of her meds combined with the shock of this abduction alone could kill Mrs. Guthrie. I know there are many working on and praying about this case. I also pray that she is found alive and that she is able to get back on her regular medication schedule.
Thank you for this report.
You’re very welcome, Chris. You’re right — the medical aspect of this case significantly raises the stakes, and the uncertainty surrounding her access to medication is deeply concerning. In situations like this, investigators often have to balance what they know with what they can responsibly release, which can make it appear as though little progress is being made even when work is ongoing. The continued public attention and concern matter, especially in cases involving vulnerable individuals.
Thanks again, Chris. I appreciate your thoughtful response and join you in hoping for her safe recovery. 😎
You’re welcome, John, and thank you for your thoughtful reply. Hopefully, the FBI is playing with a poker face and they have much more than we are aware of. Like you stated, they have to balance the release of information.
I appreciate your kind words and I pray our hopes are realized.
