00:00It could be the first lead in a case that's gripped the United States.
00:04Police detained a person for questioning following a traffic stop on Tuesday
00:08regarding the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie,
00:11the 84-year-old mother of NBC's Today Show host Savannah Guthrie.
00:16The FBI and local sheriff's department also conducted a search in Rio Rico on Tuesday,
00:22a community about an hour's drive to the south of Nancy Guthrie's home.
00:25The news came hours after images of a masked person
00:30filmed by her front door on the day of her disappearance were released.
00:34The individual appears to be armed with a pistol.
00:37The case has caught the attention of the country, including the White House.
00:41I don't think anybody will be satisfied until this case is brought to a close
00:45and until Nancy Guthrie is returned home safely with her loved ones.
00:49Nancy Guthrie disappeared on the 1st of February
00:52and until Tuesday, authorities reported no leads in the case.
00:57Savannah Guthrie has filmed several videos asking for her mother's release,
01:01including an oddly phrased message over the weekend
01:04when, speaking alongside her siblings, she said they were ready to pay a ransom.
01:09We received your message and we understand.
01:14We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her.
01:20This is the only way we will have peace.
01:24This is very valuable to us and we will pay.
01:28According to law enforcement officials,
01:31there are concerns for Nancy Guthrie's health
01:33if she does not have access to her daily prescribed medications.
