US police are investigating a new message that may be linked to the suspected abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy. The message was received by a local TV news station and authorities are "inspecting the information provided in the message for its accuracy." The 84-year-old woman is believed to have been taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, last weekend.
Police are offering a reward of $50,000 (£36,000) for any information that may lead to her safe return. Authorities have closed access to Nancy's street and are conducting follow-up investigations at the Guthrie home and surrounding areas.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department said they were aware of the new message but did not specify who received it or what details it contained. A presenter for a local affiliate of CBS News told the BBC that her channel received the "message", although it is unclear if it was sent to other media outlets.
Savannah Guthrie and her family have been pleading with authorities to find her mother, with Camron Guthrie saying in an emotional video message: "We have to know that you have our mum. We want to talk to you." The case has mystified the country and even US President Donald Trump has weighed in, ordering federal authorities to help investigate.
A man who lives on Nancy's street told reporters he had been interviewed four times by police and didn't think security was a concern - but was worried about javelina. Authorities have urged the public to call the sheriff's office with any information and are vowing to look into all leads, while discouraging the spread of misinformation.

. I mean, 84 is old, but that doesn't make it any easier. My heart goes out to them, it's like they're losing a loved one all over again. The FBI and local police are doing their thing, so fingers crossed they find some leads soon 
. It's crazy how fast this case has blown up – I feel bad for the guy on Nancy's street who was interviewed multiple times by police 
. Javelina, really? Priorities, people! 
The reward is $50k, hope someone comes forward with info ASAP 
. Can you imagine not knowing if your mom is safe or dead? No way, I'm sending all my positive vibes to the Guthrie family 
.
84 years old is not old, she's still got so much life left 
anyone have any info to share? maybe there's a witness who saw something or heard a suspicious noise? the gov't is doing their thing and i trust them but we all need to stay vigilant and help out 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this Savannah Guthrie case... like, what's going on? First, her mom goes missing, then some message shows up that might be related... it's all so confusing 
. The reward for info is $50k, which is crazy 
. The presenter from CBS News said she got the message, but did they show it on TV? Maybe they should've, so people could see if it was legit 
. I don't know what else to say, other than that we're all rooting for them 
.
i mean i'm not even kidding it's like a party in my mouth and i need to go back there ASAP. anyway back to the news... javelinas are so underrated like they're always getting a bad rep but honestly they're just adorable little creatures roaming around in the wild. maybe we should have a javelina conservation day or something? 
that guy on Nancy's street sounds so clueless though "javelina" lol like, hello security concerns!!! 
gotta keep those leads coming & stay positive for Nancy's safe return 
That's some wild stuff.

? My grandma would be all over this news back in my day... we used to have a similar case in our small town, and it just took forever to solve. I think the police are doing their best, but 50 grand isn't enough, if you ask me
