US news anchor Savannah Guthrie has released a new video urging her mother’s safe return, offering a ransom in exchange for her freedom. Guthrie, 54, and her family are pleading with the kidnapper to release Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, last weekend.
Nancy Guthrie vanished during the night, and authorities believe she was taken against her will. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her safe return. Guthrie’s family released two previous videos saying they were willing to speak to the potential kidnapper and provide proof that her mother was alive.
In her latest video, Guthrie said, “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 added, “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us – and we will pay.”
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance continues, with authorities searching for potential leads. The FBI has arrested one individual regarding a fake ransom note, but no suspects or persons of interest have been identified.
Guthrie’s family warned that her mother may be at risk without her medication, which is essential for her survival. The Pima County sheriff’s office said they are working to find out who was responsible for her disappearance and are searching for any potential clues.
US President Donald Trump has offered federal law enforcement help in the case, saying he believes investigators have some strong leads that could lead to answers soon. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities remaining optimistic that Nancy Guthrie will be found safe and sound.
