In brief
US television presenter Savannah Guthrie released a heartfelt video plea, urging the kidnappers of her mother Nancy to reveal her whereabouts and do the right thing. The incident, involving Nancy’s abduction from her Tucson home at the end of January, has left the family in anguish and the FBI and local police continuing a long‑running investigation. The kidnapping was followed by a ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin, yet law‑enforcement officials have yet to identify a motive or suspect. Guthrie’s public appeal reflects the pain of a family that has been unable to find closure. The case remains under active inquiry, with authorities urging media to hold back details of ransom notes to facilitate the probe.
At the age of 84, Nancy Guthrie vanished early in January after her grandson pulled her home in Tucson, Arizona. Authorities now suspect she was taken against her will, yet no clues have emerged to confirm her fate or the identity of the abductors.
In a recent video shared on Instagram, the widely known presenter Savannah Guthrie asked the kidnappers to do what she calls “the right thing.” She stressed the ongoing pain that the family endures while her mother’s whereabouts remain undisclosed.
Two ransom messages followed soon after the abduction. The first demanded a large sum in Bitcoin for Nancy’s release, while the second claimed the mother had died, adding another layer of confusion to the already‑shocking case.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department states the investigation is still active and ongoing; the FBI has also opened an inquiry into the incident. City authorities request that members of the public with information remain tight‑lipped, in order to preserve the integrity of the lead.
