Hours before a reported ransom deadline, news anchor Savannah Guthrie issued a fresh plea for assistance. She described the situation as an hour of desperation, requesting public help in finding her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1st, last seen on January 31st. Authorities believe she was taken against her will.

A ransom payment, reportedly in Bitcoin, was demanded, with previous deadlines passing on February 5th and again on Monday at 17:00 local time.
The FBI has confirmed they are not aware of any recent communication between the Guthrie family and the suspected kidnappers. Investigators have not yet identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles related to the case. The investigation remains active, with FBI agents deploying to Tucson and operating a 24-hour command post.
