Pagesix reports FBI Phoenix special agent Heith Janke shared that a ransom note set a 5 p.m. deadline on Feb. 5 during a Thursday press conference.

Janke said he would not go into specifics, noting the note mentioned "an Apple Watch" and a "flood light," and that if a transfer wasn’t made the second demand was for next Monday. He added the bureau is taking every lead seriously and is in communication with the family.

Authorities say Nancy, 84, was reported missing on Sunday at around 11 a.m. and is believed to have been taken from the home against her will; blood found outside the home was confirmed to be hers and officers have yet to identify a suspect.

The FBI offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved, and Savannah Guthrie and her siblings made an emotional Instagram plea for their mother’s safe return.
