Savannah Guthrie Issues Video Appeal to Suspected Abductors of Her Mother

Investigators are analyzing evidence from her Tucson home after declaring it a crime scene.

Overview

  • In a video posted with her siblings, Guthrie said the family is ready to speak with those responsible but asked for proof that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is alive.
  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says Nancy was taken against her will, with the home treated as a crime scene and neighborhood surveillance under review, and she has limited mobility and requires daily medication.
  • Detectives collected biological samples for DNA testing, while media reports of blood at the house remain unconfirmed by authorities.
  • Unverified ransom communications reported to media are being evaluated for authenticity as the FBI is reported to be assisting the local investigation.
  • Guthrie withdrew from NBC’s Olympic opening-ceremony coverage to remain with family, and the nonprofit 88-Crime offered up to $2,500 for tips leading to an arrest.
