Savannah Guthrie has made a direct and emotional appeal to the individuals believed to be holding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who vanished from her Arizona home over 25 weeks ago. In a message posted to her Instagram account, the 'Today' host described her family's ongoing agony and their unwavering commitment to finding her.
"I'm coming on today with a very specific message," Guthrie said in the video. "It has been months since our mom was taken from us. 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. The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place."
Guthrie implored those responsible to make the right choice and reveal her mother's location. "And I know that you have tried to do things the right way. So I'm asking you, begging you to do the right thing now. Make the right choice. Help us find her. Tell us where to look for her. I truly believe it is never too late to do right thing. 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."
A new report citing an FBI source suggests that the alleged kidnappers may have panicked and retreated from their initial money demands following Nancy Guthrie's death. The circumstances surrounding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance and the subsequent events remain under investigation.
