February 2 - ‘She was abducted,’ says Sheriff
Addressing a bunch of reporters, Sheriff Chris Nanos said that they saw “some things at the home that were concerning to us. We believe now after we've processed that crime scene that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime, and we're asking the community's help.”

Speaking of her mother, Savannah said that her mother “lives in constant pain.”
“She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer,” she said.
Addressing her mother, Savannah said, “Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God's precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, mommy, everywhere. We will not rest, your children will not rest, until we are together again.”
