The FBI said approximately 1,500 tips were received as of Wednesday morning on the agency's tip line after a $1 million reward was offered by the Guthrie family for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie, who was reported missing from her Catalina Foothills home on Feb. 1.

Why it matters

The high-profile disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has generated significant national attention and a large-scale search effort involving law enforcement and volunteers. The private reward offered by her family is an attempt to generate new leads and information that could help locate the missing woman.

The details

Before the private reward was announced, the FBI tip line had received 22,000 tips related to the case. An increased law enforcement presence was seen at Nancy Guthrie's home on Wednesday, and no-trespassing signs were posted on the property following a request by the family due to a surge in volunteer searchers. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said recent claims that surveillance images show the abduction suspect at Nancy Guthrie's home on different nights are 'purely speculative'.
