Savannah Guthrie Releases Emotional Video to Her Mother's Potential Abductor, Pleading for Safe Return
NBC host Savannah Guthrie, joined by her siblings Annie and Cameron, released a heartfelt video plea directly addressing the potential abductor of her 84-year-old mother Nancy Guthrie. In the emotional message, Savannah begged the individual to come forward with information about her mother's disappearance.
The "Today Show" host expressed her family's determination to do everything they can to find Nancy, while also acknowledging the challenges in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. She implored the potential abductor to reach out to them, assuring that they would listen without doubt.
Savannah shared words of comfort to her mother, emphasizing how strong she is and that God is with her. The siblings expressed their unwavering commitment to finding Nancy, stating that they would not rest until they are reunited.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department believes Nancy was taken possibly in the middle of the night, which could be a case of kidnapping or abduction. In the days since her disappearance, several ransom notes have been received that demand millions in bitcoin for her safe return. However, these letters have not been verified by police.
As of Thursday, no person of interest has been identified, and an investigation into the matter is ongoing with assistance from the FBI. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that they are following all leads and sharing them with the FBI to evaluate them.
Savannah Guthrie has skipped her "Today" show hosting duties this week to remain in Arizona amid the ongoing investigation. Instead, Mary Carillo will be stepping in as the host for the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy.

her mom nancy has been gone for like forever and they still havent found out what happened to her its so not fair that people are sending ransom notes but nobody knows who it is or if its even legit lol anyway i hope the sheriff and FBI do a great job finding nancy soon because savannah and her fam deserves all the happiness back 
she's so brave for doing that video, it must've been super hard to watch and share her mom's situation like that 
meanwhile i feel bad for whoever took her mom, but what if its a case of mistaken identity or something? 
the ransom notes are getting weird fast 
and i hope they find out who did this soon 
.
. It's disgusting that someone would demand ransom in exchange for her safe return, using bitcoin 
. I mean, what kind of person does that? It's just so... cruel 
.
. That's just too much on top of everything else 
.
. Like, can't we all just get along? I'm not buying that the guy is gonna come forward anytime soon. He'll probably be hiding in a bunker somewhere, eating Cheetos and laughing at how stupid his "ransom notes" are 
. Savannah's just trying to cover her own butt here, you know? She's worried about what people think of her, not her mom's well-being. I mean, come on, if you're gonna kidnap someone, make it a challenge for the cops 
This is such a scary situation for Savannah and her family. I can only imagine how hard it must be for them, not knowing what happened to her mom. The fact that there have been ransom notes with huge demands for bitcoin makes me wonder if this might be a case of someone trying to exploit the situation for their own gain 
. The fact that the police are working closely with the FBI suggests they're doing everything they can to solve the case, which gives me a glimmer of hope 
.
. The fact that they're offering a reward in bitcoin is just wild, I mean what even is that? And yeah the police are still investigating all these leads, fingers crossed they find out who did this ASAP 
.
.
. They need all the help they can get right now. And kudos to Mary Carillo stepping in as host - she's literally a hero 
. Let's hope this whole situation gets resolved soon and Nancy Guthrie is found safe and sound 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a safe return of Nancy Guthrie ASAP! 
I feel so sorry for her and her fam 
the fact that there are ransom notes asking for millions of dollars is just crazy 
anyway I hope savannah's mom is safe and sound soon 
my heart goes out to savannah and her fam 
can't even trust the ppl who claim to have info 
anyway, gotta give props to savannah for being so brave & speaking up about this 
let's hope they find her mom soon
