The search to locate Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper is being looked at through a new lens ... it's not about tips or what we've seen of the abductor on camera ... it's about finding someone who fits that description -- who has been missing for 3 weeks.

Law enforcement sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ ... they want people -- especially in the Tucson area -- to think about who has gone MIA for the last 3 weeks, and there's now a fair amount of information that could help ID the kidnapper.

The man is somewhere between 5'9" and 5'10" with an average build and facial hair -- a mustache or a goatee/beard. If the ransom letters TMZ received are authentic, he's smart and very tech-savvy. Authorities believe he lives in the Tucson area.

The kidnapper has an Ozark Trail Hiker backpack, a coat we believe is an Athletic Works Fusion Knit jacket, a polyester holster, and a semi-automatic handgun.

Tyra Banks still hasn't come to see Miss J Alexander after his stroke, even after the 'Reality Check' blowback ... and Miss J is opening up about how much the neglect has hurt him.

But ... he says a fan snatched the monitor off his bare chest when he hopped into the crowd during his Valentine's Day concert in Shreveport, Louisiana while singing "One Wish."

2/20/2026 5:57 AM PT -- Sources close to Philip tell TMZ that Baron is a dog and Caro is Philip's wife.

Ghislaine Maxwell apparently has a jealous streak just now coming to light, and it relates to a special act -- a urine fetish -- and, it was recently uncovered in Jeffrey Epstein file emails.

Here's the deal ... we've just found a 2002 email exchange in the massive trove of Epstein documents released earlier this year, between Maxwell and a man named Philip Levine, in which Maxwell asks Levine how he could send her pictures of "Baron" being "unfaithful" to her with another woman.

She explains ... "I am devastated. Tell me he did not pee on her too. At least if he did not do that I know that he does not feel threatened so I still hold pride of place." It's unclear if Ghislaine's joking in her email or totally serious.
