The missing woman, Nancy, was last seen at her Tucson residence on January 31, and she has now been missing for ten days. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, a journalist and long-time co-anchor of the “Today” show on US television, has been actively seeking help in the search for her mother. Guthrie has made multiple public appeals for information and has even offered a ransom to the unknown individuals involved in her mother’s disappearance.

This arrest follows the release of unsettling CCTV footage by the FBI, which shows a man at the doorstep of Nancy’s home. The footage has added a chilling dimension to the ongoing investigation.

Her daughter, journalist and long-term co-anchor of the Today US television news program Savannah Guthrie, has issued repeated pleas for information and even appealed to the unknown kidnappers, offering to pay a ransom.

The arrest comes after chilling CCTV footage of a man on the doorstep of her own was released by the FBI.
