NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie makes an emotional public appeal for information about her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, following media reports about ransom notes sent after the February abduction. Guthrie says her family remains in “agony” and tells viewers that “somebody knows something,” urging anyone with relevant information to come forward, even if details seem small. Multiple outlets report the appeal is made during an appearance on the Today show, where she asks for tips that can be shared with authorities, with anonymity possible. The reports prompting her plea include claims—attributed to a note sent to the family—that Nancy Guthrie died shortly after she was kidnapped, alongside earlier demands for money in bitcoin for her safe return. Authorities continue to investigate the disappearance. Prior to the renewed appeal, Guthrie has offered a reward for information leading to her mother’s recovery, while the FBI has also announced a reward. The case continues to receive attention, including from US political figures monitoring developments.

2 months agoLOS ANGELES, United States (AFP)—A popular United States (US) television news host whose mother was kidnapped in February said Tuesday she is in "agony" after reports the elderly woman died shortly after being abducted. Savannah Guthrie, the anchor of a major morning network news programme, pleaded for anyone with information about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84, to contact authorities. "I wanted to just take the opportunity to ask people, to really... to beg people to come forward, somebody knows something," she told viewers of NBC's "Today" show. "This is a news story today that is on your radar, but this is the life that my sister lives, that I live, that my brother lives, that our extended families live, that our children live every day, and we are in agony; we cannot be at peace. "This is a moment to tell you that we need your help." Guthrie's emotional appeal came after US media reported that one of two apparently credible notes sent to the family in the weeks after Guthrie was kidnapped indicated she was dead. The first note had demanded millions of dollars in Bitcoin for her safe return, while the second said that she had died. CNN reported the note indicated the kidnappers had not intended to kill her. The February 1 kidnapping in Tucson, Arizona made headlines in the United States. Interest intensified when security camera footage released by authorities showed a masked, apparently armed man at the house, which lies in the desert suburbs of the city. Amateur sleuths have descended on the area and much ink has been spilled on the case. US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he had been following the case. "I hope they find her," he told reporters. "That family has gone through hell." Savannah Guthrie has previously offered $1 million for a tip leading to the recovery of her mother, while the FBI has offered $100,000 for information. "We're begging for your help," she told viewers again on Tuesday, shortly before a tipline number was displayed on screen. "Please, if you're watching, no matter how small... the reward is there. You can tell us, it can be anonymous," she said. "Please do the right thing for us, for our family, for our children, and we love our mom, and we'll never stop looking for her, never." The "Today" show is a US institution, airing nationally since 1952 and drawing millions of viewers to NBC on weekday mornings.
