US news anchor Savannah Guthrie has posted a video message tearfully pleading for the return of her abducted mother and seeking proof from her captors that the 84-year-old is still alive. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen, the NBC host says, flanked by her siblings in the clip posted to Instagram. Please reach out to us. Nancy Guthrie went missing in the middle of the night from her home in the US state of Arizona over the weekend. Authorities in Arizona suspect she was kidnapped and are working with the FBI to authenticate a possible ransom note.

We are ready to talk, said the NBC host. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. Pima County Sheriff's Office said they were still speaking with anyone who had contact with Nancy Guthrie last weekend, and that no suspect or person of interest had so far been identified.

Savannah Guthrie, joined by her sister Annie and brother Cameron, said in the video posted on Wednesday night that they are aware of an alleged ransom note that was sent to at least one media outlet. Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman, the Today show host said, her voice breaking. Everyone is looking for you, mommy. Everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again.

Officials have warned Nancy Guthrie could be in dire health without her medication. Our mom is our heart and our home, Savannah said in the video. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer.

Savannah's sister, Annie, mentioned that the light is missing from our lives with their mother's disappearance, urging her to return home. The case has garnered attention, with US President Donald Trump expressing support, stating he has directed federal law enforcement to assist in the investigation to bring Nancy home safely. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos described a thorough search operation ongoing with the help of dogs, drones, and helicopters, emphasizing the need for vigilance and collaboration among the public while asking for the cessation of unverified information spreading about the case.
