\n\tSavannah Guthrie<\/a> took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon to share another message with her mother\u2019s kidnapper, this time saying she and her family will pay for Nancy Guthrie<\/a>\u2018s return.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe received your message, and we understand,\u201d Guthrie said in the video<\/a>, flanked by her siblings Annie and Camron. \u201cWe beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNancy Guthrie went missing<\/a> from her Arizona residence on Jan. 31, and on Monday, the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office announced that the disappearance was being treated as a crime<\/a>. Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS that investigators found \u201cvery concerning\u201d evidence in her home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI believe she was abducted, yes,\u201d he said. \u201cShe didn\u2019t walk from there. She didn\u2019t go willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday, the FBI, which is also investigating the suspected kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, put up a $50,000 reward<\/a> for information leading to her recovery, \u201cand\/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe FBI has agents, analysts and professional staff employees working day and night with our partners at the sheriff\u2019s department,\u201d FBI Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke said during a press briefing. \u201cWe have deployed additional intelligence and agents from our Phoenix office.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNanos, who also spoke during the briefing, said that authorities \u201chave not identified a suspect or a person of interest in this case.\u201d He also shut down claims that force entry was used to gain entrance to Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

\n\tDonald Trump<\/a>, who ordered \u201call federal law enforcement\u201d<\/a> to help search for Nancy Guthrie, told reporters on Air Force One Friday night that the investigation is going \u201cvery well\u201d and \u201cdefinitive\u201d answers as to what happened could be released in the coming days.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think we\u2019re doing very well in that regard,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019re probably surprised to hear that. I think we\u2019re doing very well. Very well meaning we have some clues, I think, that are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up fairly soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday evening, Savannah Guthrie posted an emotional<\/a> video to her Instagram in which she and her two siblings, Annie and Camron, pleaded with their mother\u2019s kidnapper to give them a sign of life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer,\u201d Guthrie said. \u201cWe, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen.\u201d<\/p>\n
