  "account": "Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC's Today show, called for answers regarding the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, in a recent social media post. Nancy went missing from her Tucson, Arizona home six months ago. In the messages released by the kidnappers, they claimed Nancy had perished shortly after her abduction and was buried in nature, suggesting her death may have been due to heart-related causes. The Guthrie family expressed their anguish and pleaded for any information that could help locate their mother, offering a $1 million reward for her recovery. The Pima County Sheriff's Office released the ransom notes, hoping the public would recognize the unique language used in the messages. Authorities believe the notes were sent by the kidnapper or a group of kidnappers. Despite extensive efforts, including surveillance images and DNA testing, no suspect has been identified, and no arrests have been made. The Guthrie family remains hopeful and continues to search for answers and a resolution to their tragic ordeal.",
  "summary": "Savannah Guthrie said she and her family have been \"in agony and despair ever since\" her mother Nancy's disappearance in February.",
