Savannah Guthrie has recorded a new video with her brothers.
In the pictures, the Today co-host and her loved ones (Annie and Camron Guthrie) can be seen holding hands as they sit together on a couch.
Looking directly into the camera, Savannah addresses the people who apparently kidnapped her 84-year-old mother Nancy.
“We get your message and we understand it,” Savannah says in the video. “We beg you now to give us our mother back so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way to have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay for it.”
A week ago, Nancy Guthrie disappeared.
Local officials in Arizona have since stated that they believe, based on evidence in and around her home, that she was kidnapped.
Multiple outlets have since confirmed that at least one ransom note has been sent to Nancy’s children.
Savannah certainly seems to be referring to some sort of monetary demand in the aforementioned recording.
Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her residence in Arizona on January 31, and on Monday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office announced that the disappearance was being treated as a crime.
Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS that investigators found “very disturbing” evidence at his home.
“I think she was kidnapped, yes,” he said at the time. “She didn’t walk out of there. She didn’t go voluntarily.”
It has been reported, for example, that blood was discovered at the scene. Collect scary and gruesome things.
On February 6, the FBI acknowledged a new message potentially related to Nancy’s disappearance. “
“The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement late last week.
A couple of days earlier, Savannah and her two brothers made an emotional plea to the potential kidnapper in a video posted on Instagram, asking for their mother’s safe return.
“We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her,” Savannah said in the video, which was titled, “Bring her home.”
The television personality added:
“He is 84 years old. His health, his heart, is fragile. He lives in constant pain. He does not have any medication. He needs them to survive and he needs them to not suffer.
“We too have heard about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything we can. We are willing to talk.
“However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. 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.”
