What People Are Saying

Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, to local news station KGUN on Wednesday: “They now have I think over 15,000 phone calls that have come in, you know, leads. Some of them have been dead ends. I think the guy in Rio Rico is an example of that. But you can feel how they’re, you know, desperate. We’re in 11 days. She’s elderly. She has health problems. You know, Gabby and I, you know, we live there in Tucson. We live, you know, pretty, pretty close by, probably about five miles away. And we’re, you know, praying for, you know, for Savannah’s mom, for Nancy Guthrie.”

Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, on Instagram Tuesday, while posting a video of the subject seen outside Nancy’s home: “Someone out there may recognize this person. Please help us. Bring her home.”
