Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Arizona home. Despite urgent pleas from the family and a $50,000 FBI reward, there has been no direct contact from the abductor. Investigators have no proof Nancy, who has serious health issues, is alive, though credible ransom notes have been received.
Nancy Guthrie, mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her Arizona home over the weekend. The 84-year-old grandmother, who has a pacemaker and heart issues requiring medication, is feared to be in grave danger. Her family, including Savannah, Annie, and Camron Guthrie, have made emotional video pleas for the kidnapper to make contact and provide proof of life, emphasizing their readiness to talk. However, their pleas have gone unanswered. Investigators confirmed blood found on the home's porch belonged to Nancy. While no notable suspects have been identified, the FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for credible information. Several media outlets received ransom notes, with at least one containing details only the abductor would know, making it appear credible. The note demanded money with a deadline. The crime scene revealed Nancy's doorbell camera was disconnected and her pacemaker app went offline shortly after her disappearance. Her personal items were left behind in her upscale, secluded neighborhood. The motive for the kidnapping remains unknown, and authorities are unsure if Nancy was targeted due to her daughter's high-profile career.
