Savannah Guthrie took to social media again on Saturday with an emotional plea for her mother Nancy Guthrie’s alleged captors.
“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. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on Saturday evening. She was reported missing after failing to show up at church on Sunday.
The last known person to see her was Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, who dropped her off at her home in Tucson, Arizona.
On Monday, police said the home of the Guthrie matriarch was being treated as a crime scene. Authorities believe she “taken from the home against her will.”
On Saturday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said: “This remains an active and ongoing investigation, which includes the review of multiple pieces of evidence.
“At this time, we will not confirm or release additional details regarding what is being analyzed.”
“As mentioned, numerous times, it is standard practice to seek any video available from nearby residences or businesses, that is part of the ongoing investigation.”
Also on Saturday, police seized a vehicle parked inside Nancy’s garage, as well as a camera on her roof, after a neighbor submitted a tip.
A tow truck removed the vehicle — a blue Subaru SUV believed to be Nancy’s — on Friday, according to Fox News. The vehicle was said to have been taken to an impound lot near the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
On Tuesday, TMZ reported they received an alleged ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy’s return.
FBI Phoenix Special Agent Heith Janke revealed during a press conference earlier this week that a ransom note had been sent demanding a “transfer” be sent by a 5 p.m. MT deadline that day.
Savannah and her siblings previously addressed the matter in a social media video on Wednesday. “We need to know — without a doubt — that she is alive, and that you have her,” she said in part. “We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.”
Following the passing of the first deadline Camron issued a video statement begging Nancy’s alleged captor to send proof that she’s alive.
