Authorities are investigating a "new message" related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, as the search for her stretches into its sixth day. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI announced Friday that they are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity, according to social media posts from both agencies.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, when she visited her daughter Annie's home, arriving at 5:32 p.m. She was then dropped off at her own home, according to CBS News. Authorities have stated they believe she was abducted from her Arizona home. The road in front of the Guthrie home was restricted as investigators conducted follow-up searches in the area, the sheriff's department reported.
Savannah Guthrie has publicly appealed for her mother's return, and President Trump has directed federal law enforcement to assist in the search, according to CBS News. The family is pleading for her safe return.
