Nancy Guthrie’s son urges alleged kidnappers to reach out: ‘We want to talk to you’
Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman from Arizona, went missing from her home in Catalina Foothills over the weekend. Authorities reported that she was last seen at her residence at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, and she has limited mobility and requires daily medication. A blood sample collected from her porch matched her DNA, indicating that she was indeed kidnapped.
In a heartfelt video message posted by Camron Guthrie, Nancy’s son, the family reached out to the alleged kidnappers, expressing their desire to establish communication. Camron pleaded for the captors to make contact, ensuring the family that they only wanted assurance of their mother’s well-being. This direct plea was the second attempt made by the family to appeal to the kidnappers for information regarding Nancy’s whereabouts.
Sheriff Chris Nanos of Pima County stated that while there is no concrete evidence of Nancy’s survival, he remains hopeful that she is still alive. Investigators are treating the situation with utmost seriousness, considering a ransom note sent to media outlets. The note, demanding money and referencing specific details about Nancy’s property, suggests a calculated abduction that raises concerns about her safety.
Savannah Guthrie, a prominent television host and Nancy’s daughter, released a poignant video expressing her family’s distress over the situation. Describing her mother as a beacon of love and kindness, Savannah emphasized the impact of her absence on her loved ones, especially Nancy’s grandchildren. The emotional statement urged Nancy to find her way back home, emphasizing the deep longing felt by her family.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced a reward of $50,000 for any information leading to Nancy’s safe return or the apprehension of those responsible for her disappearance. As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, her family remains hopeful for her safe return and urges the alleged kidnappers to reach out, emphasizing their desire for communication and resolution.
