Heartbroken Savannah Guthrie releases new video directed at mom Nancy’s ‘captors’ saying ‘we will pay’ ransom

Savannah Guthrie has released a new video message to her missing mom Nancy’s captors, telling them her family has ‘received your message.’ 

The Today Show host shared a video on Saturday evening with her sister Annie and brother Camron, saying that they had received communications from her mother’s abductors.  

‘We received your message, and we understand,’ Savannah said. ‘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.’ 

Savannah did not offer details over the communication her family received nor the demands that she agreed to pay. 

It follows a series of reported ‘ransom notes’ being sent to TMZ and KOLD newsrooms in the week since Nancy, 84, was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home in the early hours of February 1. 

Authorities have not verified the legitimacy of the notes, but say they are taking them ‘seriously’ as investigative leads, with no suspects or persons of interest identified. 

The ‘ransom letters’ reportedly demanded millions in Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy’s return, and set a final deadline of Monday for payment to be made ‘or else’, TMZ said.  

Savannah and her siblings previously shared a video this week demanding ‘proof of life’ of their mother after news broke that ransom demands had been made to TMZ and KOLD. 

It is unclear if any proof of life had been made, but Savannah’s latest video appears to indicate her family had been contacted directly by those claiming to be holding Nancy for ransom.
