It's another week of this nightmare. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News.

We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken and we don't know where. The Guthrie family had said over the weekend they would pay the demand that was in a ransom note. A second reported deadline passed yesterday, but we know of no contact with whoever abducted Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson, Arizona home.
Police have not named a person of interest in the 84-year-old's disappearance.

We heard earlier from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. He went to Rhode Island and Maine talking to workers at defense contractors.
At the Bath Iron Works in Maine, the secretary emphasized what is the Pentagon's priority concerning the defense industrial base. Rip out the bureaucracy, streamline the process so we can get the products into the hands of warriors. Urgency, urgency is my currency. Hegseth continued. If you want American strength... You need to have American manufacturing.
And that, he said, is why workers like those he was speaking to are so important. We need all of you to move fast, at scale, at cost, so that we can compete and, frankly, out-compete our adversaries. Kevin Uretzky, Fox News. There's a manhunt in Georgia after a jailbreak.
