Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since being kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1st. The Pima County Sheriff believes they understand the kidnapper's motive and suspect the act was targeted, though they are not entirely certain. Despite a nationwide search yielding DNA evidence and ransom notes, no suspect has been identified. The sheriff warned that the suspect could strike again and advised residents to remain vigilant. Savannah Guthrie has made public appeals for her mother's return and is offering a $1 million reward. While arrests have been made in connection to fake ransom notes, the actual kidnapper remains at large, with the only clue being a masked figure captured on a doorbell camera.
