The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, entered its second week as authorities in Tucson, Arizona, continued to investigate her disappearance, which is being treated as an abduction. Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, January 31, and was reported missing on Sunday, February 1, after failing to attend church, according to CBS News. The family is pleading for her safe return.
According to ABC News, the case reached its ninth day, with a demand for a bitcoin ransom and a Monday deadline from someone claiming to be Guthrie's kidnapper. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings, Annie and Camron, responded to the alleged kidnapper in a video message, pledging to pay the ransom. "We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said in the video. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."
President Trump has directed all federal law enforcement to assist in the search, according to CBS News. Authorities are working to identify potential suspects and a motive.
