NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie issued an emotional video appeal after her mother’s suspected kidnapping, saying the family is willing to pay as investigators continue searching for answers in the high-profile case
NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has made a public, emotional appeal to the potential kidnappers of her elderly mother in a video. In the short clip, Guthrie appears alongside her siblings, asking for proof that their mother is alive. “We will pay,” Guthrie says, adding that the family is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure her safe return. The video, shared widely online, has intensified public attention around the case.
Guthrie’s mother,
Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, last month. Authorities say she was last seen on January 31, and her disappearance is being investigated as a suspected kidnapping. According to law enforcement, blood droplets later confirmed to be hers were found on the front porch of her home, while security cameras at the property had been disabled shortly before she vanished.
The family said they have received messages they believe may be linked to the abduction, though investigators have not publicly confirmed their authenticity.
Federal and local agencies, including the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, are jointly handling the investigation. Officials have released few details, citing the sensitivity of the case, but have encouraged anyone with credible information to come forward.
The case has drawn nationwide attention, in part because of Savannah Guthrie’s high profile as one of America’s best-known television journalists. But it has also sparked broader concern about the safety of elderly people living alone and the vulnerabilities they face.
President Donald Trump has weighed in publicly, saying investigators have “strong clues and answers coming up soon,” though he did not elaborate on what those clues might be.
For now, the Guthrie family says its focus remains firmly on bringing Nancy home.
