Savannah Guthrie releases video appealing for proof her missing mother is alive | Arizona

Today show host Savannah Guthrie, along with her siblings Annie and Cameron, has published a video statement calling for the safe return of their 84-year-old mother Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing on Sunday.

In a video posted to Instagram on Wednesday, the siblings said that their mother is in poor health and is without her medication. Savannah Guthrie also acknowledged reports about a reported ransom letter from alleged kidnappers.

“She’s 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,” Guthrie said.

“We, 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,” she said. “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.”

Nancy Guthrie was last seen by her family at her house near Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday night, and was reported missing the following afternoon after a family member received a call from a member of her church saying that she wasn’t there.

The Pima county sheriff, Chris Nanon said he could not rule out foul play, and at a Monday morning briefing, declared “we do in fact have a crime scene” and suggested she did not leave by herself.
