Grandmother Missing: Plea to Abductor as Hunt Intensifies
17 Feb
Summary
- Savannah Guthrie pleads with her mother's alleged abductor to do the right thing.
- An ex-FBI agent believes the suspect is an amateur who is in over his head.
- High-tech tools, including a helicopter scanner, aid the search for Nancy Guthrie.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing for two weeks, prompting an intensive search by law enforcement. Her daughter, television anchor Savannah Guthrie, has directly appealed to the alleged abductor through video messages, emphasizing that "it's never too late to do the right thing."
These messages are believed to be guided by FBI profilers, targeting a suspect described as an amateur criminal who may have acted impulsively and is now overwhelmed. Experts note the suspect's hesitant actions on surveillance footage, suggesting a lack of professional planning.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Pima County Sheriff's Department, are utilizing high-tech equipment, such as helicopter scanners to potentially detect Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker. The investigation is ongoing, with officials confident that the suspect will eventually be apprehended, either through continued investigation or by being turned in.
