In a gripping development regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, police have detained a person of interest as the search for her continues.
According to sources from CBS News, the individual was taken into custody during a traffic stop, and authorities are now conducting a court-authorized search at a location in Rio Rico, Arizona, south of Tucson.
Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was reported missing after being abducted from her home more than a week ago, prompting widespread efforts from both law enforcement and her family. Her children have made heartfelt appeals for information on social media, pleading for her safe return.
New evidence in the case includes the release of surveillance footage showing a masked individual at her doorstep on the night she went missing. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the suspect appeared armed and tampered with the home's security camera.
As the investigation deepens, authorities have acknowledged the release of ransom notes, which could potentially hold clues about her abduction. Savannah Guthrie shared in her recent videos that health concerns for their mother are dire, emphasizing the urgency for her return.
As the FBI continues to search for leads and has offered a reward of $50,000 for information regarding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, the White House is also actively monitoring the situation. US President Donald Trump voiced his disgust upon viewing the surveillance footage and has urged the public to assist in any way possible.
