US news anchor Savannah Guthrie has posted a video message tearfully pleading for the return of her abducted mother and seeking proof from her captors that the 84-year-old is still alive. 'We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen,' the NBC host says, flanked by her siblings in the clip posted to Instagram. 'Please reach out to us.' Nancy Guthrie went missing in the middle of the night from her home in Arizona over the weekend.
Authorities in Arizona stated they suspect she was kidnapped and are collaborating with the FBI to authenticate a potential ransom note. 'We are ready to talk,' said the NBC host, adding that they need undeniable evidence that her mother is alive and that she is with her captors. The Pima County Sheriff's Office is conducting extensive searches and has yet to identify any suspects.
Savannah, alongside her sister Annie and brother Cameron, recorded the message urging their mother to come home. 'Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman... We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again.' Officials have expressed concerns about Nancy’s health, stating that she requires medication for her well-being.
Shortly after the video was released, US President Donald Trump announced he would direct federal law enforcement to assist in ensuring Nancy's safe return. The case has gained widespread attention, with various authorities using every resource available to locate her. Nancy was last seen in her home in Catalina Foothills on Saturday evening and did not attend her church the next day, prompting alarm among her congregation and subsequent police involvement.
