An anonymous donor has contributed $100,000 to increase the reward being offered for information in the search for Nancy Guthrie, bringing the total local reward to $200,000 as investigators continue efforts to locate her.

Law enforcement officials confirmed the additional donation this week, saying the increased reward is intended to encourage anyone with credible information to come forward. Authorities have not released new details about Guthrie’s disappearance but continue to ask for tips from the public.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing earlier this year, prompting an ongoing investigation by local law enforcement agencies. Officials have not announced any arrests, and no charges have been filed in connection with the case. There are no confirmed reports of injuries or fatalities.

The case has drawn national attention in part because of a shared last name with NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. Online discussions have referenced reports estimating Savannah Guthrie’s net worth at tens of millions of dollars. There is no indication from law enforcement that she is connected to the reward effort, and officials have not identified the anonymous donor.

Investigators say reward funds are typically paid if information leads to an arrest and conviction. Authorities urge anyone with relevant information to contact local law enforcement or submit tips through official channels.

The increased reward comes as search efforts continue and community members push for answers. Officials emphasize that even small details could prove critical.

For updates and verified information, residents are encouraged to follow official law enforcement communications.
