In a recent video shared on Instagram, U.S. television host Savannah Guthrie, alongside her siblings, made an emotional plea for the safe return of their mother, Nancy Guthrie, who is believed to have been abducted. "We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her," she stated, emphasizing, "This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay," according to BBC, ABC News, LA Times, and Reuters.
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has entered its seventh day, with authorities confirming she was likely taken against her will from her home in Tucson. Sheriff Chris Nanos noted that they have not yet identified any suspects or persons of interest in the case. "DNA tests showed blood found on her front porch was a match to her," Nanos reported, citing ongoing forensic analysis and the need to track any new messages related to her abduction, according to ABC News, LA Times, and Reuters.
Authorities have offered a $50,000 reward for information that could assist in recovering Nancy Guthrie or lead to an arrest and conviction in connection with her disappearance. The FBI is involved in the search, having reviewed multiple ransom notes that have emerged during the investigation. Savannah Guthrie has previously urged potential kidnappers to contact them with proof of her mother's well-being, making their family's desperate situation clear, as stated by BBC and ABC News.
