The FBI is acknowledging a new message tied to the disappearance of\u00a0Today\u00a0<\/em>show host\u00a0Savannah Guthrie<\/a>‘s 84-year-old mother,\u00a0Nancy Guthrie<\/a>, who authorities believe was kidnapped from her Tuscon, Ariz., home last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n“The FBI and Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie,” the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department said in a statement to PEOPLE on Friday, Feb. 6.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n“Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity,” the statement continued. “While this is one new piece of information, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department are still asking anyone with tips to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.\u00a0The FBI continues to offer a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and\/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTucson-based\u00a0KOLD News\/News 13<\/a>\u00a0shared that it received the message earlier in the day. “13 News received a new message this morning, February 6, regarding the Nancy Guthrie disappearance,”\u00a0News 13<\/a>\u00a0stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n“We are not releasing details out of respect to the family,” the outlet added.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nKOLD News\/News 13 said it forwarded the message to law enforcement along with the IP address from the initial note. The IP address is not the same IP address as the initial note, but “it appears the sender used the same type of secure server to hide their IP address,” the outlet said.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n“The new note contains information the senders seem to think will prove to investigators they\u2019re the same people who sent the first note,” News 13 stated.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nOn Friday afternoon, a large number of FBI personnel including Evidence Recovery Team and Forensics Team members, along with more than two dozen sheriffs showed up at Nancy’s house, where they searched the back of the property, PEOPLE can confirm.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n“We are back at the house again as part of customary investigation follow up,” an FBI spokesperson tells PEOPLE. “We were planning on getting back to the house today even before that message came in.”<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nSpeaking about the large FBI presence at the property, he said, “When the FBI is involved, we bring lots of resources.”<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe Pima County Sheriff’s Office said in a post on\u00a0X<\/a>\u00a0that investigators were conducting a follow-up at the Guthrie home and in the surrounding area, and that the roadway in front of the home is currently restricted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201cNobody on foot can pass the cones,” a sergeant at the scene tells PEOPLE. “We need everyone out right now. This is for further investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nNancy was reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1, by her family when she failed to show up at church.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nLaw enforcement launched a massive investigation into Nancy’s disappearance, saying they believe the grandmother\u00a0was taken against her will<\/a>, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a press conference on Tuesday, Feb. 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOn\u00a0<\/strong>Wednesday, Feb. 4,\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0Today\u00a0<\/em>show host, 54, her sister Annie, and her brother Camron made an emotional plea to the potential kidnapper in a video posted to\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, asking for the safe return of their mother.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n“We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her,” Savannah said in the video.<\/p>\n
