Savannah Guthrie, Co-Host of US Today Show, Urges Anyone Holding Her Mother to 'Reach Out'
In a heartfelt video message, Savannah Guthrie, a prominent US morning news anchor, is appealing to anyone who might be holding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who went missing from her Arizona home several days ago. The 84-year-old was last seen on January 31, and her family reported her missing the following afternoon. The disappearance is being treated as a kidnapping by investigators, who believe it was an abduction.
The video, posted to Instagram, features Savannah Guthrie, along with her brother and sister, who are all urging the public to come forward with any information. They emphasize the need for confirmation of their mother's well-being and safety.
"We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us," Savannah Guthrie said in the emotional appeal. The family has been informed of media reports of a ransom note, but they caution that such material could be fake, given the age of the note.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos provided additional context, stating that Nancy Guthrie's limited mobility and dependency on daily medication for her health are further concerns for her well-being. The family's plea comes as authorities continue their investigation into the disappearance.
Savannah Guthrie has been a co-anchor of the Today show since 2012, and her involvement in this search highlights the personal impact of the situation on her and her family.
