Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a touching video message directed at the suspected captors of their mother, Nancy.
Savannah Guthrie is pleading. In the midst of the hunt for their mother Nancy Guthrie, 84, who vanished from her Arizona home on February 1, the Today host and her siblings Camron and Annie Guthrie posted a devastating video message on February 4.
"Our mom is our heart and our home," Savannah appeared in the Instagram video. "Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer."
The television anchor continued by directly addressing Nancy's potential captors, stating that the family is aware that authorities are looking into claims that media outlets received ransom notes.

"We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media," she stated. "As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her."
Annie, her sister, also sent a heartfelt remark regarding the matriarch in the video.
"The light is missing from our lives. Nancy is our mother. She is our beacon," Annie opened a letter and read from it. "She holds fast to joy in all of life's circumstances. She chooses joy day after day, despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief."
"We are always going to be merely human, just normal human people who need our mom," she continued. "Mama, if you're listening, we need you to come home. We miss you."
Authorities are still looking into Nancy's disappearance from her Tucson home, and they have taken DNA samples from her home, which has been designated as a crime scene, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
“At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest,” he said in a statement posted on social media on February 4. “Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie.”
