Savannah Guthrie took to social media again with an emotional video in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy, begging the abductor to return her “valuable” mother and offering once more to pay a ransom.
“We received your message and we understand,” the “Today” anchor said, alongside her brother Camron and sister Annie.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she added, later saying that her mother’s return is “very valuable to us” and “we will pay.”
This is the second video that the Guthrie siblings released indicating a willingness to pay a ransom to free their mother.
Savannah Guthrie appeared alongside her siblings Camron and Annie in a video posted Wednesday night, making the family’s first direct public appeal to whoever may have taken their mother five days after she vanished from her Tucson home.
“Our mom is our heart and our home,” Savannah said, stressing the urgency of the situation by detailing Nancy’s fragile condition.
“She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer.”
Addressing reports of ransom notes circulating in the media, the siblings said they were prepared to engage but needed verification first.
“We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk,” Savannah said, adding a plea for proof of life: “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. Reach out to us.”
Meanwhile, federal authorities expanded their footprint around Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home as the search for the missing 84-year-old entered its seventh day, with investigators examining new evidence but stressing there are still no suspects and no persons of interest.
The FBI said it has deployed additional agents, analysts and technical resources from Arizona and beyond, while launching a broader publicity campaign to generate tips.
The bureau is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Guthrie’s recovery or the arrest of anyone involved.

Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that blood found on the porch outside Guthrie’s home belonged to her and that her doorbell camera had been removed.
Investigators believe she was taken from the residence around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, and Nanos said she did not leave voluntarily.
Authorities are also vetting a new message believed to be from whoever may be holding Guthrie, though law enforcement has not substantiated reports of ransom notes circulated to media outlets.
A blue SUV was towed from the home and a wired device was removed by FBI personnel, but officials declined to say what, if anything, the items signify.
President Trump said Friday night that the investigation was making progress, telling reporters, “I think we’re doing very well… we have some clues, I think, that are very strong.”
Investigators say the priority remains locating Guthrie, who has mobility issues and requires daily medication to survive.
