Investigators continue their urgent search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, who was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1st.
As the case enters its third week, the FBI is analyzing DNA from a black glove found about two miles away, which appears to match one worn by a suspect seen on doorbell camera footage. In an emotional new video plea shared Sunday, Savannah Guthrie addressed her mother's captor directly, saying, 'It is never too late to do the right thing,' while affirming the family's ongoing hope.
A $100,000 reward remains for information leading to her safe return—no arrests have been made, and authorities are following thousands of tips.
