In a heart-wrenching plea, Savannah Guthrie, a renowned US TV anchor, has appealed for the release of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for two weeks. In her emotional video appeal, Savannah implores anyone who might have her mother or knows her whereabouts to "do the right thing, no matter how late it seems." This comes as investigators analyze DNA found on a glove, which may be linked to the suspect in the surveillance footage taken the night Nancy disappeared. The FBI has recovered the glove from a field near the road, about two miles from Nancy's home in Tucson, Arizona. The agency has also collected 16 gloves from various locations, but most were discarded by people searching for her. The DNA profile recovered from the glove appears to match the gloves of the suspect in the surveillance video. The FBI has received preliminary DNA test results and is awaiting quality control and official confirmation before entering the profile into its database. Earlier this week, investigators released footage from a doorbell camera at Nancy's front door, showing a masked man wearing gloves and a backpack. The FBI has also announced that the man is believed to be between 5ft 9in and 5ft 10in tall with an average build. The agency has also identified the backpack as a 25-litre Ozark Trail Hiker Pack. The county sheriff's department has emphasized that the suspect description remains a key focus, but they are not ruling out any individuals or possibilities. Nancy was last seen on January 31, when a family member dropped her off at her home after a get-together at her daughter Annie's house. Her absence was noticed by members of her church the following day, who notified her family. In the two weeks since Nancy's disappearance, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Office have conducted a massive search operation involving helicopters, sniffer dogs, and hundreds of officers, while also taking in thousands of call-in tips. Officials have warned that Nancy may be in dire health without her medication. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated that Nancy was "not in good physical health" but had no reported cognitive issues. Local officials have also said that investigators found DNA at Nancy's address that did not belong to her or anyone close to her. The FBI has increased the reward for information about Nancy's disappearance from $50,000 to $100,000. But here's where it gets controversial... The authorities have not yet identified the suspect, and the public is left wondering if the DNA found on the glove will lead to a breakthrough in the case. And this is the part most people miss... The investigation has been ongoing for two weeks, and the public is still in the dark about the suspect's identity. Will the DNA profile match the suspect in the surveillance video? Will the authorities be able to locate Nancy and bring her home? These questions linger, and the public is left to speculate. But one thing is clear: Savannah Guthrie's plea for her mother's release is a powerful reminder of the human cost of missing persons cases. It's a call to action for anyone who might have information to come forward and help bring Nancy home.
