Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing after 54 hours.
Sources from local media outlets have confirmed that the authorities are now treating the matter like a police case and have also shared that she was most likely pulled out of her bed in the middle of the night.
Now, evidence confirmed that splatters of blood could be found at the point of exit, while talks about a possible ransom note demanding millions in bitcoins were also released.
The matter has also forced the US President to chime in and express concern over the matter, as the FBI is now handling the case of the sudden disappearance.
Her personal items, like her wallet, phone, and car, were left behind. Since Nancy has limited mobility and needs to take her medication daily, officials claim she most likely did not leave her home voluntarily, and the case points to possible kidnapping or abduction.
The sheriff's department says they're now investigating the possible ransom note as the investigation is a race against time.
