It has been more than a week since the mother of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie was reported missing, and authorities said today that they have not identified any suspects, persons of interest or vehicles connected to the case.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona, the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing about noon Feb. 1.
In an Instagram video today, Savannah Guthrie said the family believes Guthrie is “still out there.” She asked viewers to report anything “strange” to law enforcement. “We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help,” she said.
The FBI said today that it is “not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers.”
The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Friday that they are aware of a “new message” regarding Guthrie. It is not clear what kind of message it is and whether it is connected to the possible ransom note that was sent to three news outlets.

Billboards seeking tips go up in Texas, Arizona, California
Billboards seeking tips in the possible abduction of Nancy Guthrie have been seen in El Paso, Phoenix and outside Dallas.
An FBI official said last week that the agency planned on putting up billboards in major cities and states near Tucson, Arizona, where Guthrie lives and was last seen.
An FBI official said that Clear Channel had “partnered with the FBI and donated these billboards in an effort to bring Nancy home.”
Clear Channel is a company specializing in advertising across more than 65 U.S. markets.
The Guthrie billboards are being shown in markets including Los Angles, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Albuquerque and elsewhere.

The Guthrie family has repeatedly turned to social media to communicate with possible kidnappers
Before Savannah Guthrie released a video today pleading for the public’s help in her family’s “hour of desperation,” the “TODAY” co-anchor and her siblings had taken to social media three times since Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1.
In the family’s first video, posted five days ago on Instagram, the siblings — Savannah, Camron and Annie — spoke directly to their 84-year-old mother, telling her she is strong and God’s precious daughter.
Savannah Guthrie referred to a reported ransom letter mentioned in media reports and said the family was ready to talk to those who may have kidnapped Nancy Guthrie.
