Savannah Guthrie Issues Emotional Plea for Missing Mother in New Video: “We Will Pay”
Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie has made a public, emotional appeal for the safe return of her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, releasing a new video alongside her siblings as the investigation continues.
In the short clip posted to Instagram on Saturday, Guthrie addressed whoever may be responsible for her mother’s disappearance, offering a direct plea and a willingness to meet ransom demands.
“We received your message and we understand,” Guthrie said in the video. “We are begging you to bring our mother back to us. Being reunited with her is the only way we can find peace. This matters deeply to our family, and we will pay.”
Nancy Guthrie Missing Since Jan. 31
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the night of Jan. 31. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood north of Tucson, Arizona.
According to investigators, Nancy was dropped off at her residence shortly after 10 p.m. following a family dinner. She was reported missing the next morning when she failed to attend church.
Authorities Reviewing Ransom Messages
A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed awareness of the family’s latest video but said there were no new updates to share at this time.
Investigators are currently reviewing multiple messages believed to be ransom notes that reference Nancy Guthrie. One such message was sent to a Tucson television station and is being examined by both the FBI and local authorities.
Sources familiar with the investigation say the authenticity of the messages has not yet been verified. However, law enforcement officials are treating every communication seriously as part of the ongoing investigation.
Key Timeline Details Under Review
Authorities have outlined several troubling developments from the early morning hours after Nancy Guthrie was last seen:
A doorbell camera at her home was disconnected around 1:45 a.m.
Her pacemaker monitoring app showed a loss of connection to her phone shortly before 2:30 a.m.
Blood was later discovered on the front porch of her residence
Despite these findings, officials have not identified a suspect or named a person of interest.
FBI Offers $50,000 Reward
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery or to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a press briefing earlier this week that no confirmed leads have emerged, though investigators continue to pursue all tips.
Family Continues Public Appeals
This is not the first time Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have gone public. In recent days, they have shared multiple videos urging whoever has their mother to make contact and provide proof that she is still alive.
The family has emphasized that their sole focus is bringing Nancy home safely.
The investigation remains active.
