In a heartfelt plea, Camron Guthrie, brother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie, urges for proof of their mother's well-being as authorities continue the search for Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since last weekend.

The Guthrie family is appealing for evidence that their mother, Nancy Guthrie, is alive after she disappeared from her Tucson home. Following the passing of a deadline related to an alleged ransom note, brother Camron publicly called for communication with potential abductors. The police are actively investigating the situation, offering a reward for information, while maintaining the belief that Nancy is still alive.

The brother of US news presenter Savannah Guthrie has renewed his family's plea for proof that their mother is still alive after she disappeared last weekend.

As the first deadline from an alleged ransom letter passed, Camron Guthrie said in a video posted to Instagram that the family had not heard anything about their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.

The 84-year-old is believed to have been abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona in the middle of the night. Police launched a massive hunt, with officials offering a reward of $50,000 (£36,000) for information that leads to an arrest.

We have to know that you have our mum, Camron said in the latest video message. We want to talk to you. He mentioned that the family hasn't received any direct communication, emphasizing the need for a way to speak with the potential abductors to progress the investigation.

The situation escalated when an alleged ransom note came into play, giving the family a deadline which they have now surpassed, adding urgency to their plea. The FBI is currently reviewing the content of this note, with a second deadline looming.

As inquiries continue, the Pima County Sheriff's Department has stated that they are still working under the assumption that Nancy is alive, urging anyone with information to come forward while investigating all potential leads.

The case has captured nationwide attention, prompting significant media coverage. Savannah Guthrie has also addressed the alleged abductors directly, expressing her desperation for confirmation of her mother's safety.
