Savannah Guthrie has renewed her public appeal in the Arizona kidnapping case involving her mother, Nancy Guthrie, urging the people investigators believe took her to come forward with information about where she may be. In a video posted on social media, the television presenter asked for her mother’s location and pleaded for whoever is responsible to do the right thing.
“I’m asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now,” Guthrie said. “Help us find her - tell us where to look for her.” In the same message, she said it has been months since her mother was taken and described her family as being in agony. She said the family has done its part and will keep searching, while expressing hope that there is still a way home.
Investigators believe Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen on January thirty-one, was taken against her will from her home near Tucson, Arizona. They have not announced a motive or made an arrest. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says the investigation remains active and ongoing, while the FBI and county authorities have spent months looking into the disappearance.
Officials also say a ransom note sent in the days after the eighty-four-year-old vanished claimed she had died. According to investigators, that note was one of two they believed were credible and that were sent to the family and to news organizations after the kidnapping. One demanded millions in Bitcoin for her release, while the other said she was dead, according to US media reports that cited unnamed sources.
