Savannah Guthrie\u00a0took to social media again with an emotional video<\/a>\u00a0in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy,\u00a0begging the abductor to return her \u201cvaluable\u201d mother Saturday and offering to pay a ransom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received your message and we understand,\u201d \u00a0the \u201cToday\u201d anchor said on Instagram, alongside her brother Camron and sister Annie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,\u201d she added, later saying that her mother\u2019s return is \u201cvery valuable to us\u201d and \u201cwe will pay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guthrie did not elaborate in the brief video on what \u201cmessage\u201d she was referring to \u2014 if it was one of the purported ransom notes sent to media outlets or another message.<\/p>\n

The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office said they were aware of the video, but declined to comment further.<\/p>\n

This is the third video that the Guthrie siblings released since their mother\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

Savannah Guthrie appeared alongside her siblings Camron and Annie in a video posted Wednesday night, making the family\u2019s first direct public appeal to whoever may have taken their mother<\/a> five days after she vanished from her Tucson home.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mom is our heart and our home,\u201d Savannah said, stressing the urgency of the situation by detailing Nancy\u2019s fragile condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing reports of ransom notes circulating in the media, the siblings said they were prepared to engage but needed verification first.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk,\u201d Savannah said, adding a plea for proof of life: \u201cWe 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. Please. Reach out to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least two purported ransom messages have surfaced since Nancy Guthrie vanished, though law enforcement has not confirmed the authenticity of either and says no proof of life has been provided.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The first ransom note, sent to multiple media outlets on Monday and Tuesday, including TMZ and Tucson station KOLD-TV. That message demanded millions of dollars in Bitcoin and laid out two deadlines \u2014 one on Thursday, which passed, and a second on Monday, Feb. 9, according to FBI officials.<\/p>\n

A second, separate message was received Friday by KOLD-TV and acknowledged by authorities later that day. Unlike the first note, this message contained no ransom demand and no deadline, but included what officials described as \u201csensitive information\u201d and appeared designed to prove it came from the same sender, despite originating from a different IP address.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement has said the Friday message is under active review, but stressed that no proof of life has been publicly substantiated, leaving investigators and the family navigating a high-stakes and uncertain negotiation.<\/p>\n

Authorities have said additional communications and hoax messages have circulated<\/a>, but investigators are focused on two primary messages they believe may be connected.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, federal authorities expanded their footprint around Nancy Guthrie\u2019s Tucson home as the search for the missing 84-year-old entered its seventh day, with investigators examining new evidence<\/a> but stressing there are still no suspects and no persons of interest.<\/p>\n

The FBI said it has deployed additional agents, analysts and technical resources from Arizona and beyond, while launching a broader publicity campaign to generate tips.<\/p>\n

The bureau is offering a $50,000 reward<\/a> for information leading to Guthrie\u2019s recovery or the arrest of anyone involved.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that blood found on the porch outside Guthrie\u2019s home<\/a> belonged to her and that her doorbell camera had been removed.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe she was taken from the residence around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, and Nanos said she did not leave voluntarily.<\/p>\n

Authorities are also vetting a new message<\/a> believed to be from whoever may be holding Guthrie, though law enforcement has not substantiated reports of ransom notes circulated to media outlets.<\/p>\n

A blue SUV was towed from the home<\/a> and a wired device was removed by FBI personnel, but officials declined to say what, if anything, the items signify.<\/p>\n

President Trump said Friday night that the investigation was making progress, telling reporters, \u201cI think we\u2019re doing very well\u2026 we have some clues, I think, that are very strong<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators say the priority remains locating Guthrie, who has mobility issues and requires daily medication<\/a> to survive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Savannah Guthrie\u00a0took to social media again with an emotional video\u00a0in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy,\u00a0begging the abductor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":455853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1017,4,450,451,14739,209536,3,66501,452,453,194],"class_list":["post-455852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-arizona","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-missing-persons","tag-nancy-guthrie","tag-news","tag-savannah-guthrie","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
