(New York, NY) – The search for “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, continues as she has been missing for more than a week. THe 84 year old was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home after she was absent from church services. The family has shared several messages to the alleged kidnappers. On Saturday, the family shared their most direct plea yet saying they will pay whatever it takes to get their mom home safely.
President Trump has gotten involved and sent down the FBI to assist local police in the search for the mom, who has now gone a week without her daily prescription medications. There are reports of several ransom notes sent to the media. The FBI and Arizona authorities both said they were looking into a new message received on Friday.
The investigation by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office faces mounting pressure to give the public answers on this case which has captured national headlines. On Saturday, shortly before the Guthrie family posted the video begging the alleged ransomers to bring their mom back, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was spotted at a college basketball game. Fox News Digital reports Nanos was front row for ASU’s game against Oklahoma State. No future press briefings are on the schedule regarding updates on the case.
The Nancy Guthrie investigation is ongoing. Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified. No scheduled press briefings. If any significant developments occur in the case, a press conference will be called.
