Savannah Guthrie Pleads for Help as Search for Missing Mother Enters Second Week
The search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for eight days, entered its second week on Monday with the television host issuing a desperate plea to anyone who might know anything about her disappearance to come forward.
According to investigators, Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will from her home near Tucson on January 31st or early February 1st. Since then, detectives have been analyzing a purported ransom note demanding $6 million in exchange for her safe return, but its authenticity has not been confirmed.
The note, which was received by a local TV station in Arizona, gave Guthrie's family until Monday at 5 pm MT to meet the demand, with no suspects or persons of interest being identified. Savannah and her siblings recorded a video on Saturday saying they would pay the ransom, but it remains unclear whether this development is genuine.
The investigation has been ongoing, with FBI agents and sheriff's deputies conducting multiple searches of Guthrie's home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson. They have found signs of forced entry and blood at the scene, which further fuelled concerns about her disappearance.
Savannah Guthrie used social media to appeal for help, saying that she needed the public's assistance to find her mother. She expressed desperation, stating that every lead was being pursued but that technology did not always yield results as easily as investigators would like.
As the search continues, Savannah Guthrie has taken a step back from her work, cancelling an assignment in Italy and remaining off-air since her mother's disappearance. A service was held at St Andrew's Presbyterian church on Sunday to honor Nancy Guthrie's memory and offer support to her family.

... I mean, come on, the note is probably a scam 
. And what's with the FBI not being able to crack it yet? Like, shouldn't they have some basic forensic skills? It's all so sketchy... and those signs of forced entry are super suspicious 
. The fact that she just cancelled an assignment in Italy and skipped work for her family is pretty dramatic too... but still, can we please not speculate about the ransom note being fake without solid proof? 
I'm gettin' the feelin' that this whole thing is a total setup 
. And what about that video of Savannah and her siblings? Is it even possible that they didn't realize they were bein' filmed? 
I'm all for helpin' the family, but let's not jump to conclusions just yet 
. This is still a mystery, folks!
do you think it's legit or just some scam? 
and the police are still searching for clues, they need more help from people in the community, like anyone who might have seen something suspicious or knows someone who was at her house that day, it would be super helpful if ppl can share what they know online 
like 2 weeks is a looong time to not have any info, and the fact that they're still searching around her own home is just so creepy...and what's up with this ransom note tho? $6 million is crazy, idk if it's even real or not
