Savannah Guthrie has released a new video message directed to the person authorities believe may have taken her mother, Nancy Guthrie, the family announced in a special report. In the brief recording, Guthrie and her siblings make an emotional plea for communication, urging the possible captor to contact the family or law enforcement and to ensure Nancy’s safety.
The release follows investigators’ confirmation that a ransom note is being examined in connection with Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance; reports indicate the note included a 5 p.m. deadline. Officials say no suspect has been identified and the case remains under active investigation. Family members—including Savannah’s brother, who separately urged the possible captor to communicate—have publicly appealed for information and for the well-being of their mother.
NBC’s coverage highlights several developments: the family’s emotional statements, ongoing law enforcement inquiries into the ransom note and other leads, and the continued absence of an identified suspect. The Guthrie family’s video aims to reach whoever may be holding Nancy, emphasizing concern for her safety and a desire for any information that could help resolve the situation.
Authorities have not released details about the investigation’s progress beyond confirming the ransom note is under review. The family and investigators continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.
