Five days into the search, Savannah Guthrie’s family publicly begged her mother’s kidnapper to make contact, according to the Associated Press. Investigators believe 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home but say they still have no proof she’s alive.
Authorities found blood at the home matching Nancy Guthrie’s DNA and are investigating ransom notes sent to media outlets. The FBI now offers up to $50,000 for information as the case draws national attention.
Savannah Guthrie joined her siblings in emotional appeals, saying they’re ready to talk but need confirmation their mother is alive. Law enforcement says the decision on any ransom demands rests with the family.
