Savannah Guthrie releases new video in missing mother case: ‘We will pay’

Savannah Guthrie recently released a video acknowledging her family had received a message connected to the disappearance of her mother, Nancy. In the video on Instagram, Savannah expressed the family’s plea for her mother’s safe return, stating, “We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

Authorities believe that Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of ‘Today’ anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in Arizona. A new message was received by KOLD on Friday concerning Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, and it was promptly forwarded to law enforcement agencies for further investigation. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are currently assessing the authenticity of the information provided in the message.

In light of this situation, a California man is now facing federal charges for allegedly sending messages to the family of Nancy Guthrie, posing as the suspected abductor in her disappearance case. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home on a Saturday night, and authorities have not yet identified any suspects or persons of interest in her disappearance.

The latest message, which arrived after ‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie’s brother made a renewed plea for their mother’s abductor to reach out to them, has caused further distress to the family. The family continues to hope for any form of communication from those holding Nancy Guthrie, emphasizing the importance of direct contact.

It was reported that Nancy Guthrie had been at a family member’s house for dinner on Saturday evening before being driven back to her own house later that night, after which she was not seen. It was revealed that blood found on Nancy Guthrie’s front porch during the investigation matched her DNA. Additionally, a prior ransom note was sent to multiple media outlets, including KOLD, with demands for money and specific deadlines.

Officials arrested a California man, Derrick Callella, after determining that a ransom note was fake. The events surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remain a cause of concern and urgency for authorities and her family, who are eagerly awaiting any leads or information that may help locate her and ensure her safe return.
