I'm Sydney Silvani. We begin tonight in Arizona, where a baffling abduction case has taken a chilling and deeply tragic turn. It has now been 20 weeks since Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. For months, her family has held onto hope, but a horrifying new development has completely shattered that peace. A federal law enforcement source close to the case is saying that a second ransom note sent to the family indicates Nancy Guthrie has passed away, declaring she is buried with nature. This devastating news prompted an emotional public plea from her daughter, television anchor Savannah Guthrie, who spoke out on Tuesday to desperately beg the public for answers.
