Septic Tank Searched in Missing 'Today Show' Mom Case

Investigators recently focused their search on a septic tank located at the Arizona residence of Nancy Guthrie, 84, who was reported missing on February 1st. The search, captured on drone footage, occurred more than a week after Nancy was last seen on January 31st following dinner with her daughter Annie. Authorities are treating her disappearance as highly suspicious, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos indicating that 'something unusual occurred' at her home on the night she vanished and that she was believed to have been 'taken'.

As local and federal law enforcement continue their desperate search, few clues have emerged regarding who might have taken Nancy or why. An unconfirmed ransom note demanding $6 million in bitcoin for her safe return has been sent to media outlets. Nancy's children, including Savannah Guthrie, have released a tearful video plea to the alleged kidnapper(s), expressing their willingness to pay for their mother's safe return and a chance to celebrate with her. However, as of the publication date, no significant breaks in the case have been reported, and no suspects or persons of interest have been identified.
