Savannah Guthrie Pleads with Kidnappers to Reveal Mother's Location
Savannah Guthrie, a US television presenter, has made a heartfelt plea to her mother's kidnappers, asking them to reveal her mother's location and bring an end to the family's "nightmare". In a video posted on social media, Guthrie addressed the possible kidnappers, saying "I'm asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now. Help us find her - tell us where to look for her."
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the evening of January 31, when she was dropped off at her home near Tucson, Arizona. She was reported missing the following day after she failed to show up at a friend's house to watch a virtual church service. Investigators believe that Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will from her home, but they have not shared a possible motive or arrested a suspect.
A ransom note sent in the days after Nancy Guthrie's abduction claimed she had died, according to investigators. However, Savannah Guthrie has said that some ransom notes sent to the family were believed to be fake, and she has expressed concerns that her mother may no longer be alive.
Savannah Guthrie's plea to her mother's kidnappers is the latest in a series of emotional appeals she has made on social media. In her video, she said "Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed. We have done our part, and we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts." She added "Help us bring this situation to an end. For all of us, no matter where we've been and what we've done, I believe there is always a way home. Please make the right choice."
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has been ongoing for nearly six months, with the FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department investigating her disappearance. A reward of over $1 million is being offered for her safe recovery.
Savannah Guthrie has continued to use her platform to keep the case in the public eye and encourage anyone with information about her mother's disappearance to come forward.
The FBI is urging anyone with information to contact them at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
