Savannah Guthrie tells mother's potential kidnappers 'we will pay' in video plea for her return

Savannah Guthrie appeals to the potential kidnappers of her mother in a video, offering to pay for her safe return after the elderly woman was reported missing.

In a desperate appeal for her mother's safe return, US TV host Savannah Guthrie addressed the potential kidnappers of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, in a video shared on Instagram. She emphasized that her family 'will pay' for her mother's release, highlighting the urgent and emotionally charged nature of the situation. Nancy was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31, and her family reported her missing when she failed to attend church the following day.

Authorities, including the Pima County Sheriff's Department, have indicated that Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been kidnapped, although no suspects or persons of interest have yet been identified. The urgency of Savannah's plea underscores the family’s concern and the fear for the well-being of Nancy, who is 84 years old. This case has drawn considerable media attention, raising awareness about both the specific situation of the Guthries and the broader issue of elder abduction.

Savannah's public plea is part of a broader effort to gather leads in the case as law enforcement continues their investigation. The family's willingness to negotiate for the return of Nancy underscores the extreme lengths to which families may go when faced with tragedy and uncertainty, highlighting the emotional toll of such situations on relatives and the pressing need for public assistance in locating missing persons.
