Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, remains a mystery as authorities struggle to find any leads in her disappearance. Five days into the desperate search, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated that his team is holding out hope she is still alive and "out there." However, they lack concrete evidence to prove it.
The investigation reveals that DNA tests have confirmed blood found on Guthrie's porch belongs to her, suggesting she was taken against her will over the weekend. The sheriff believes Nancy was kidnapped from her home in Tucson but acknowledges that authorities do not have proof of her well-being.
A ransom note sent to several media outlets has sparked a new lead, with investigators taking it seriously. The note demands money with specific details about Guthrie's floodlight and Apple watch, suggesting the kidnapper may be trying to establish communication with her family. However, sheriff Nanos emphasized that any decision on ransom demands ultimately lies with the family.
Guthrie's children have released a message urging their mother's kidnapper to reach out, stating they are ready to talk but want proof she is still alive. The family's emotional plea was broadcasted publicly, with Savannah Guthrie fighting back tears as she addressed her mother directly, saying "Mamma, If you're listening, we need you to come home."
The search for Nancy Guthrie continues, with investigators scouring the area around her home and reviewing software data recorded movement at the property. The sheriff acknowledged that motion detection could have been caused by an animal, but the team remains hopeful she may still be alive.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working closely with the FBI to follow up on leads and gather more information. With each passing day, the Guthrie family's prayers for their mother's safe return grow stronger, as they hold onto hope that Nancy is "still out there" waiting to be found.
