Savannah Guthrie releases video plea for missing mother<\/a><\/p>\nSavannah Guthrie says her family is at its “hour of desperation” in the search for their kidnapped mother, but makes no mention of a possible ransom in a new video.<\/p>\n
Relatives reported her missing the following day, according to the Pima Country Sheriff’s Department, after she failed to show up for Sunday church services.<\/p>\n
Sheriff Chris Nanos said the door bell camera of Guthrie’s home was disabled in the early hours of February 1.<\/p>\n
He said Ms Guthrie’s pacemaker disconnected from her phone about half an hour later and she was, presumably, taken from the house by force.<\/p>\n
DNA tests confirmed that traces of blood found on the front porch were from Ms Guthrie, officials said last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Law enforcement and family members have described her as being of limited mobility, in frail health and in need of daily medication to survive.<\/p>\n
Major turning points<\/p>\n
The video and detention of a suspect marked major turning points in an investigation that had seemed to stall in recent days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s department and FBI said late on Monday that they had yet to identify suspects or “persons of interest” in the connection with the investigation.<\/p>\n
At least two purported ransom notes had surfaced since Nancy Guthrie vanished, both of them delivered initially to news media outlets. But no proof of life is known to have surfaced following her abduction.<\/p>\n
Savannah Guthrie, 54, and her brother and sister have posted several video messages on social media pleading for the public to help with tips and for the kidnappers to return their mother or communicate with them directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The family has said that they would pay a ransom.<\/p>\n
