Savannah Guthrie and siblings confront kidnappers of missing mothers in new video
Today presenter show Savannah Guthrie‘s family has spoken out against her mother Nancy Guthrie‘s ongoing disappearance, seemingly addressing their mother’s kidnapper(s) directly.
“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah, 54, said in a newly shared video via her Instagram on Saturday, Feb. 7, as she was flanked by and held hands with her siblings. “We now beg you to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very precious to us and we will pay for it.”
The Today host captioned the post: “Take her home.”
Nancy. 84, was reported missing in early February, with local law enforcement officials in Arizona confirming she was last seen on January 31.
“On behalf of our family, we would like to thank you all for the prayers for our beloved mother, Nancy,” Savannah said in an Instagram video with siblings Annie Guthrie And Camron Guthrie uploaded on February 4. “We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too. Our mother is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny, feisty and smart.”
She continued, “She has grandchildren who adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge.”
Savannah revealed at the time that her relatives were “willing to talk” about paying the ransom in exchange for Nancy’s safe return home.
“As a family, we do everything we can. We are willing to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images can easily be manipulated,” said Savannah. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please contact us.”
Savannah closed the siblings’ video with a heartfelt plea to Nancy.
“Mom, if you hear this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that He is with you even in this valley,” the TV journalist said. “Everyone is looking for you, Mom, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We talk to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we look forward in advance to the day we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mom.”
Authorities are revealing new details about the ongoing search for Today’s Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. “Something unusual happened in that house that made us say, ‘Wow, something’s wrong here. Something doesn’t fit,'” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared exclusively with Us Weekly on Monday, February 2. “We’re going to pull out all the stops and… […]
The next day, Savannah’s brother himself sent a stern message to Nancy’s suspected kidnapper. (There are currently no suspects in Nancy’s disappearance, but local police have not ruled out the possibility of a kidnapping.)
“Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly,” Camron said in a Feb. 5 social media video. “We want you to contact you and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first we need to know if you have our mother. We want to talk to you and we are waiting for contact.”
That same day, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) made one arrest for an “impostor ransom demand.”
“You’ll get more on that from the FBI and our U.S. Attorney’s Office here in Arizona as it becomes available,” FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heide Janke said at a news conference. “We are continuing with a normal kidnapping case, there would be contact now to discuss that, but those are the time frames we are looking at as we move forward.”
Nancy shared Savannah, Annie and Camron with her late husband, Charles Guthriewho died in 1988 after a heart attack at the age of 49.
