Savannah Guthrie says family ‘will pay’ for their mother’s return in video plea to possible kidnapper

Savannah Guthrie has made a direct plea to her mother’s potential abductor: “We will pay.”

In a new, 20-second video posted on her Instagram account on Saturday, Guthrie said her family had received someone’s “message” and were begging for the return of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, who has been reported missing since Sunday.

“We received your message, and we understand,” Guthrie said, sitting between her two siblings in the video. “We beg you now 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 valuable to us, and we will pay.”

Guthrie did not identify a specific individual. It’s also unclear what message Guthrie was referring to.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI said in a statement on Friday that they were aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie.

“Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity,” the sheriff’s department wrote.

A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An FBI spokesperson said the agency did not have further information to provide.

There have been reports of multiple ransom notes. Federal officials arrested a California man on Thursday, accusing him of sending a fake ransom note to the Guthrie family.

Officials have not identified a suspect but have said that the incident may have involved a kidnapping or abduction.

Guthrie’s mother was last seen at her home located just outside Tucson.

Authorities said blood confirmed to belong to the elder Guthrie was found on the porch, and the doorbell camera had been disconnected, leaving investigators without crucial evidence.

Her daughter, a veteran news anchor of nearly three decades, said that her mother’s health is “fragile” and requires daily medication.

“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” the younger Guthrie said in a video posted on Wednesday. “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.”

Savannah Guthrie’s brother pleads in new video for a ‘way to communicate’ with their mother’s possible captors

Savannah Guthrie’s brother, Camron Guthrie, has released a new video on behalf of his family, addressing those who may have their mother.

In the new 21-second video uploaded to Savannah’s Instagram page on Thursday, Camron pleads for those responsible “to reach out.”

“This is Camron Guthrie. I’m speaking for the Guthrie family. Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward,” Camron said.

He then reiterated the family’s request for proof that their mother is in the captor’s custody.

“But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact,” Camron said.

Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday. She was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona. Officials told NBC Nightly News on Monday that they believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”

The video comes a day after Savannah, Camron, and their sister, Annie, issued a joint plea for their mother’s safe return.

“Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again,” Savannah said in Wednesday’s video. “We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mommy.”

In a statement uploaded to the sheriff department’s X account on Wednesday, Nanos said investigators “have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case,” and cautioned the public against “the sharing of unverified accusations or false information.”

On Thursday, the sheriff’s department released a timeline with new details, noting that Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected and later detected a person, though no video was available. Sheriff Chris Nanos also confirmed that the blood found on the porch belonged to her.

Savannah Guthrie asks for proof of life in tearful video appeal for her mother’s return: ‘We are ready to talk’

Savannah Guthrie shared a video message on Instagram on Wednesday pleading for her mother’s safe return.

Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday. She was last seen at her home outside Tucson, Arizona. Officials told NBC Nightly News on Monday that they believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”

Guthrie appeared in the video alongside her siblings, Annie and Camron, and read from a prepared statement — at one point, addressing the people who may have her mother.

“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Guthrie said.

“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,” she said.

In the nearly four-minute-long video, Guthrie described her mother as a “kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light,” and a person who is “funny, spunky, and clever.”

“Our mom is our heart and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer,” Guthrie added.

In the closing seconds of the video, Guthrie spoke directly to her mother.

“Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again,” she said. “We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mommy.”

Both of Guthrie’s siblings also spoke, with her sister Annie saying she and her siblings are “just normal human people who need our mom.”

“Mama, mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you,” she said.

Near the end of the video, Guthrie’s brother Camron addressed their mother, saying, “We love you, Mom. Stay strong.”

On Wednesday morning, the sheriff’s office told Business Insider that Nancy’s home was “equipped with several cameras,” and that detectives are trying to determine what footage is available.

The FBI is also involved in the investigation.

“The FBI is doing everything in our power to bring Nancy Guthrie home to her family,” Jon Edwards, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s office in Tucson, said in a statement at a press conference on Tuesday.
