Savannah Guthrie Pleads for Return: 'We Will Pay' in New Video
The Today show anchor and her siblings release a somber new video, urging the kidnapper to return Nancy Guthrie as the FBI offers a reward.
New York — In a somber, urgent message posted to Instagram, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings Annie and Camron delivered a plea to the person or people who abducted their mother, Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman missing since January 31. In the video, the family says they understand the message they've received and adds a stark statement: "We will pay." They beg the kidnapper to return Nancy so the family can celebrate her safe return. Authorities have acknowledged reports of a ransom note, though not directly confirmed by officials, and the FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy's recovery or to the arrest and conviction of those involved.
The family’s message emphasizes that Nancy's health is fragile and she requires medicine to manage constant pain. Guthrie, known to millions as a co-host of NBC's Today, speaks with quiet urgency, noting that voices and images in contemporary media can be manipulated, and they want to hear directly from Nancy's abductors to confirm she is alive.
The missing-person case has drawn attention from fans and viewers who have followed Nancy Guthrie's disappearance since it first emerged. While investigators continue to pursue leads, the family’s public appeal underscores the emotional toll of an 84-year-old woman's sudden absence and the desperate hope for her safe return. The FBI reward remains a key incentive for information that could bring Nancy back home and hold those responsible accountable.
As investigators press on, Nancy Guthrie's family asks for patience and for the public to stay vigilant, reiterating their commitment to bringing Nancy home and to seeking peace after a harrowing ordeal.
