- Authorities received a $100,000 donation to use as a reward to aid in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
- Alongside the FBI's $100,000 reward, the total now exceeds $200,000.
- Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah, has been missing since February 1.
An anonymous donor has given $100,000 to the Pima County Attorney's Office tip line for the case of Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since February 1.
The tip line, called 88-CRIME, is now offering a reward of $102,500 for information related to Guthrie's disappearance. This is in addition to the $100,000 being offered by the FBI.
The FBI is not involved in administering any non-FBI rewards, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said.
The FBI had previously increased its reward for information on Guthrie's disappearance to from $50,000 to $100,000.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been "taken out of her home against her will," according to Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County.
In a video on Sunday, Savannah Guthrie pleaded to anyone involved in her mother's disappearance, saying, "It is never too late to do the right thing."
The Pima County Sheriff's Department said on Wednesday it is not "confirming or releasing any details" in relation to work with Mexican authorities, polygraph tests, video surveillance requests, or financial analysis.
