"It looks to me like this is the first spontaneous video that we've gotten," Former New York City Police Department inspector Paul Mauro said during a Fox News broadcast on Monday, February 9. "I would argue that this one likely [was] not coached by the FBI, like we've seen in the past."

Savannah Guthrie issued a heartbreaking plea on February 9.
The NBC anchor posted a heartbreaking video on February 9, nine days following her mother's reported disappearance on February 1. In the clip, Savannah pleaded with the public for their help with Nancy's safe return.
Though the Fox News contributor didn't read anything into her siblings not being present for Savannah's latest video clip, he hinted that the journalist wasn't optimistic about the efforts being made to find her mother.
"She's not encouraged, let's say, by what she's getting from the task force. She repeatedly says, 'We need your help,'" he recounted. "She says 'We are entering an hour of desperation,' that seems to me to be pinned to the deadline, that we know just passed."
Savannah Guthrie pleaded with the public for information on Monday, February 9.
