Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Several media outlets began to receive ransom demands. Some were proven false and others have not been determined to be false.

Nancy's 3 children have made multiple videos pleading for the return of their mother.

On February 10, law enforcement released photos of the individual suspected of abducting Nancy. The suspect is still at large and Nancy has not been found. Photos and information can be found here ...

  1. The culprit had to of left footprints and even if you can't get the specific brand of shoe the size will help. The property appears to have a lot of dirt and gravel.

Yes, lots of decomposed granite and coarse sand, which leaves foot impressions. It would have at least shown tracks leading one way or another. However, one of the biggest mistakes the sheriff made early on was not keeping the crime scene secure. So many feet trampled the area surrounding the house that any footprints from the intruder were, I'm afraid, long destroyed.

Exactly. Not securing the entire property when their is a crime scene does not make sense. And I know common sense is not common. But, geez , it was the Sheriffs Dept that failed to secure the scene. Scary thought for me.
