"They appear no closer to finding her, or identifying an alleged abductor. Detectives are analyzing a purported ransom note giving a deadline of 5pm MT (7pm ET) Monday for Guthrie's family to pay $6m, a development that prompted the Today show presenter and her siblings to record a video released on Saturday saying: We will pay."
"While investigators believe Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken against her will from her home near Tucson on the night of 31 January, or early on 1 February, they have not confirmed the authenticity of the ransom note, received on Friday by a local TV station in Arizona. The Nancy Guthrie investigation is ongoing. Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified. No scheduled press briefings, the Pima county sheriff's department said Sunday afternoon in a post on X."
"FBI agents and sheriff's deputies were spotted at the Guthrie residence in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson on Friday, at least the second time they searched the home that authorities designated a crime scene last week after reportedly finding blood and signs of forced entry. Drone footage from Fox News captured one officer poking a long pole into a septic tank on the grounds, and reports said that a vehicle, believed to be Nancy Guthrie's, was towed away."
