Savannah Guthrie Urges Kidnappers to Return Her Mother in Desperate Plea
In a harrowing video message posted on social media, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings are begging the kidnappers of their 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, to return her safely. The family is offering a hefty ransom in exchange for her release.
"We received your message, and we understand," Guthrie said, flanked by her siblings. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her." She emphasized that this is the only way they will have peace, adding that the prospect of Nancy's safe return is invaluable to them.
It is unclear whether Guthrie was referring to a new message from someone who might have kidnapped Nancy or if it was in response to an earlier communication. The FBI and local authorities are reviewing the authenticity of the message.
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has entered its seventh day, with officials still searching for any leads on her whereabouts. DNA tests confirmed that blood on the porch matched Nancy's, but no suspects have been identified or ruled out.
Sheriff Chris Nanos expressed frustration over a camera at Nancy Guthrie's home that was not able to capture images of anyone on the day she went missing. The camera doorbell was disconnected early Sunday, and software data recorded movement minutes later, but without an active subscription, the footage cannot be retrieved.
The sheriff acknowledged that technology is not always as straightforward as investigators would like it to be. "There are pieces of information that come to us from these tech groups that say: 'This is what we have and we can't get anymore,'" he said.
Concerns over Nancy Guthrie's health condition, including her pacemaker and heart issues, have grown since her disappearance. The sheriff warned that if medication is not delivered to her, her conditions are likely worsening by the day.
The family's desperate plea has raised concerns about their ability to care for Nancy while she is being held captive. As the investigation continues, officials remain hopeful that they will be able to reunite with Nancy soon and bring her the peace and safety they crave.

my heart goes out to savannah and her fam... i cant even imagine if my mom was taken away from me like that 
84 years old, thats not old, nancy still has so much life left in her 
i hope the fbi can get some leads on this soon 
and hopefully she gets back to her loved ones safely 
my heart is literally breaking reading this... the thought of savannah & her siblings not knowing if their mom is still alive or safe is unbearable i feel like we're all waiting with bated breath for any news, but at the same time, it's hard to even think about what might have happened to her. 
has anyone considered the possibility that this could be a hoax? 
i mean, a desperate plea from someone who wants ransom, but is it really Savannah's voice or just some copycat trying to manipulate us? 
also, why can't we get more info on the camera footage? 
it seems like such an obvious lead, but technology is indeed not always on our side 
we need to keep everyone in our thoughts & prayers 
what's the source of the message btw? is it from the kidnappers themselves or someone claiming to be them? gotta fact-check this one 
! I'm literally on edge for them - 84 and all alone? That's just awful 
. I just hope the kidnappers are not trying to take advantage of her or use her as leverage 
. The sheriff sounds really frustrated about the security camera situation - like, what even happened there?! 
!
. And yeah, technology can be super frustrating, but they're counting on this stuff to help catch the person who took her... hopefully someone comes forward with a lead soon 
. The sheriff's frustration with that camera situation tho, like what even is goin on? 
. And poor Nancy, she's got pacemaker & heart issues, if she doesn't get her meds on time it's only gonna get worse 
. Fingers crossed they find out who did this & bring 'em down ASAP 
. Like, you can't even hide something this obvious from the authorities? And now we're supposed to feel bad for them because their mom is 84 years old with health issues? Please 
. The family's desperation is just going to fuel more drama and ransom demands. I'm sure it's not like they've tried everything else already 
And can we talk about how hard it is for the family to care for her health issues without their mom by their side? 
My heart is literally breaking thinking about them 
its crazy how savannah and her fam r goin thru this but i think its time 4 the fbi 2 take action 
, like whats wrong w/ that ransom money? seems fishy 2 me 
they gotta investigate deeper & find out whos behind this
