Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC's "Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, remains missing, following her suspected abduction from her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona, on the night of January 31. Authorities believe she was taken against her will, with evidence including her blood on the porch and a missing front door camera. No suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified, but the investigation has expanded regionally.
The most recent development involves authorities investigating a new message related to her disappearance. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI confirmed they are actively examining the message's authenticity after it was sent to a local Tucson news station (KOLD).
Details of the message have not been released, and it is unclear if it is connected to prior ransom notes or demands. This follows earlier reports of ransom-related communications, including at least one impostor demand that led to an arrest.
President Trump commented Friday that investigators have "very strong clues" and that "answers could come out very soon," though no official breakthrough has been confirmed.
The case continues to draw widespread attention, with ongoing searches, forensic analysis, and public appeals. Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI or Pima County Sheriff's Department.
