Savannah Guthrie Sends Direct Message to Mother’s Alleged Kidnappers: “We Understand and We Will Pay”
Savannah Guthrie is once again publicly pleading for the safe return of her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, releasing a somber new video alongside her siblings as investigators continue to search for answers.
The Today show co-host, 54, appeared seated with her brother and sister, Camron and Annie Guthrie, in a video shared to Instagram on Saturday, Feb. 7. The siblings held hands as Savannah addressed whoever may be responsible for their mother’s disappearance.
“We received your message and we understand,” Guthrie said. “We are begging you to bring our mother back to us so we can be with her again. That is the only way we will find peace. This means everything to us — and we will pay.”
Nancy Guthrie Believed Abducted from Arizona Home
Authorities say Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her longtime home in Tucson, Arizona, during the overnight hours of Saturday, Jan. 31. She was last seen earlier that evening after being dropped off by family members.
Nancy was reported missing the following morning when she failed to attend church, prompting an immediate and large-scale law enforcement response. Investigators have stated they believe she was abducted against her will.
Ransom Messages Under Active Review
Law enforcement officials are continuing to examine multiple messages believed to be ransom demands connected to the case. According to the FBI, one message sent to media outlets included a deadline for payment on Thursday, Feb. 5, with a second demand allegedly extending into the following week.
On Friday, Feb. 6, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed they were aware of an additional message potentially linked to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
“Investigators are actively assessing the authenticity of the information provided,” authorities said in a statement, noting that all communications are being taken seriously.

Despite these findings, officials have not named a suspect or identified a person of interest.
