President Donald Trump said additional developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie could be shared by federal investigators 'reasonably soon.' Authorities also towed a blue SUV from Guthrie's Tucson-area home on Friday, and a new message from someone claiming to be the suspect was sent to law enforcement, though the IP address used was different from the earlier ransom note.

Why it matters

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of 'Today' show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has garnered national attention. Investigators are actively pursuing leads and searching the area around Guthrie's home, with the FBI offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or an arrest.

The details

Authorities towed a blue SUV from Nancy Guthrie's home on Friday, though it is unclear who owned the vehicle. Additionally, 13 News received a new message from someone claiming to be the suspect who allegedly kidnapped Guthrie. While the IP address used was different from the earlier ransom note, the sender appears to have used a secure server to hide their location and identity. The message contains information the sender believes will prove their authenticity to investigators.
