The search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, is now in its second week as another apparent ransom deadline looms.
The FBI says it is taking two emails seriously, including what appears to be a ransom note with a second deadline set for later on Monday. The first deadline was 5 p.m. Thursday, authorities have said. Ransom payment was demanded in bitcoin.
Savannah Guthrie and her two siblings issued a third videotaped plea over the weekend to whoever may have taken their 84-year-old mother from her Arizona home in what the sheriff has called an overnight abduction. She was reported missing on Feb. 1.
"We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said in a short video Saturday. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay."
An FBI spokesman said Savannah Guthrie was referring to a message sent to CBS News' Tucson affiliate on Friday, The Associated Press reported. The television station, KOLD, received a message earlier last week that included the demand for payment.
