In brief
Savannah Guthrie, host of NBC's 'Today,' has issued a heartfelt message to her mother's kidnapper, pleading for proof of life. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing after being last seen at home in Tucson, Arizona. Authorities are actively investigating the situation, amidst reports of ransom letters and signs of forced entry.
TUCSON, Ariz. (FlashPoint) — Early Thursday showed no public response from the kidnapper of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, who has been missing since Saturday evening. Savannah, on a video posted to her social media, expressed her family's readiness to discuss the situation but emphasized the necessity for confirmation that her mother is still alive.
In her emotional message, Savannah highlighted their concerns over manipulated media and insisted on direct communication, stating, We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. Please reach out to us. This comes in the backdrop of her mother being last seen at home, with authorities indicating she was taken against her will.
The family has garnered widespread community support, announcing a vigil attended by hundreds alongside thorough search efforts from authorities. Investigative teams reported signs of forced entry at Nancy's home, prompting continuous inquiries without any confirmed suspects so far.
Guthrie’s gripping appeal was complemented by statements from her siblings, both of whom emphasized their mother's importance. They collectively urged her to return home: Mamma, If you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you. As the investigation proceeds, Savannah Guthrie has stepped back from her broadcasting duties to focus on family support during this distressing period.
