Her daughter, the renowned journalist and host of the NBC Today show, Savannah Guthrie, has broken her silence in an emotional video posted on social media, appealing directly to the humanity of the captors in a desperate attempt to recover her mother alive. Through her Instagram account, the journalist delivered a message full of hope and firmness, addressing specifically "whoever has her or knows where she is."
With a trembling yet calm voice, Guthrie wanted to emphasize that the family has not lost hope despite the time that has passed since that fateful January 31st in Tucson. "It has been two weeks since they took our mom, and I just want to come here to say that we still have hope and still believe," expressed the communicator. In her speech, she sent a direct message to the perpetrator: "You are not lost or alone. It is never too late to do the right thing. We are here. We believe. We believe in the essential goodness of every human being. It is never too late."
In the caption of the post, the presenter summed up her plea in three words: "bring her home." While the family awaits news, the FBI and local authorities have intensified the search, making significant progress in forensic matters. The most relevant discovery to date is a glove found about two miles from the victim's residence, which contains DNA remnants. According to investigations, this accessory seems to match those worn by the individual captured by security cameras on the night of the incident. The federal agency has formally identified the individual as the "kidnapping suspect," describing him as a male between 1.75 and 1.78 meters tall with a medium build.
The images, recovered "from residual data located in internal systems" of a surveillance camera, show a masked man wearing a mesh and carrying what appear to be boxing gloves. Additionally, last Friday, the discovery of DNA profiles not belonging to Nancy or her close circle was confirmed on the property. The case, now entering its third week, carries shades of extreme seriousness. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31st, and the alert was raised the following day.
Investigators confirmed a finding at the beginning of the inquiries: the woman's blood was found on the front porch of her house. Despite alleged ransom notes being sent to various media outlets, uncertainty grows as two deadlines for payment have already passed without new contacts. The police continue to analyze the 16 gloves found in the vicinity, although most belonged to volunteers. For now, the absolute priority of law enforcement is to locate Nancy's whereabouts while Savannah Guthrie insists that, for the kidnapper, "it is never too late" to amend their actions.
