Savannah Guthrie Pleads to Her Mother’s Alleged Kidnappers in Emotional Video Message
Wertynews.com – Savannah Guthrie pleads to her mother’s alleged kidnappers in a heartfelt new video, asking them to “do the right thing” and return Nancy Guthrie to her family. The “Today” show co-host shared the emotional appeal on Monday through an Instagram post, describing her family’s ongoing struggle as a “nightmare that will not end.” In her message, Savannah Guthrie expressed hope that the people who took her mother had been trying to handle the situation properly all along.
The 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 1, when she failed to appear for her regular church service in Tucson, Arizona. Local authorities quickly determined that she likely was abducted from her home, launching an extensive search that has captured national attention. The Guthrie family has remained remarkably private throughout the ordeal, making Monday’s public appeal particularly significant.
A Family’s Desperate Appeal
“The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way,” Savannah Guthrie said in her video message. “So I am asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now.” Her simple yet powerful caption—simply “bring her home”—resonated with thousands of followers who have followed the case closely.
This marks the first major public appeal from the Guthrie family since June 23, when Savannah Guthrie delivered a tearful address from her anchor desk during a live broadcast of the “Today” show. Since then, the family has maintained relative privacy while investigators and the public continue to search for answers about Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts.
Days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, authorities received two ransom notes addressed to the family. The first note demanded millions in bitcoin for her safe return. The second note, delivered a few days later, contained shocking news: the apparent abductors claimed that Nancy Guthrie had died. According to sources who reviewed the notes, the kidnappers indicated they did not intend for her death to occur.
Law enforcement officials believe both notes were likely sent by the same person or group responsible for the abduction. The conflicting messages—one demanding ransom, another claiming death—have added complexity to the investigation. Authorities continue to examine both notes carefully as they work to determine the truth about Nancy Guthrie’s condition and location.

Savannah Guthrie’s decision to speak publicly comes as investigators continue their efforts to locate Nancy Guthrie and bring her safely home to her family and loved ones.
