FBI's Billboard Blitz to Uncover Nancy Guthrie's Fate
In a bid to rekindle hope in the search for missing 84-year-old grandmother Nancy Guthrie, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced plans to post billboards in Houston and other Texas cities, as well as across several western states. The goal is to solicit information from the public about her disappearance.
Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 at her home. Authorities now believe she may have been abducted. As part of an ongoing effort to aid in her recovery, the FBI has devised a digital billboard program that has proven successful in previous cases.
Under the program, which debuted in 2007, billboards featuring Guthrie's photo and an FBI phone number will be displayed in various locations, including El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas, Albuquerque, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This strategy allows for quick updates and targeted messaging to specific areas, ensuring that critical information reaches potential witnesses or suspects.
The program has seen remarkable success since its inception, resulting in 57 fugitive captures and assisting in numerous investigations. According to the FBI, digital billboards can be rapidly changed and updated with new information, allowing for swift communication about high-priority cases such as child abductions or public safety concerns.
As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, the FBI is counting on the public's assistance in uncovering her whereabouts. By leveraging this innovative approach to disseminate crucial information, law enforcement hopes to reinvigorate efforts to bring her home safely.
