On Monday, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie posted a heartfelt video to Facebook in which she urgently implores the men who stole her 84‑year‑old mother from her Tucson home to tell the world where she is.
"I’m asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now," Guthrie spoken in a raw, emotional tone, adding that her family has “be in agony… We will never stop looking for her.”
Nancy Guthrie vanished on 31 January after being dropped off by relatives at her home. Investigators say she was taken against her will, but no motive or suspect has been identified yet. The case has drawn national attention, prompting the FBI and local law‑enforcement agencies to run a long‑term search in partnership with the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
One of two ransom notes believed to be credible was sent to the family demanding millions in Bitcoin, while a second note, allegedly from the kidnappers, claimed that Nancy had died. The FBI warned media outlets to hold off on reporting the notes while the investigation continued. Nonetheless, many people suspect the notes may be fake or part of a hoax, a theory that has only added to the confusion.
Guthrie’s new video follows months of silence and the cautionary stance of authorities. The video has become a rallying point for people wishing to end the nightmare, as the family’s pleas circulate across social media and news outlets worldwide.
