Savannah Guthrie says ‘we are ready to talk’ as she breaks down in tears during gut-wrenching video while pleading to her mother’s captors: ‘We need to know that she is alive ‘

Savannah Guthrie demanded proof that her missing mother Nancy is alive in a heartbreaking new video.

Nancy, 84, vanished on Saturday evening after being dropped off at the sprawling Arizona property by her Italian son-in-law Tommaso Cioni – the last person to see her.

The Today Show anchor described her mother in glowing turns alongside her siblings in the new clip posted to Instagram Wednesday night. 

Guthrie thanked everyone who offered prayers and support before detailing Nancy’s state.

‘She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without medicine, she needs it to survive. We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can,’ Guthrie said. 

She then said to the potential kidnappers that ‘we are ready to talk’ but wanted proof that they weren’t potentially using fraudulent images of her. 

‘We live in a world where voices and images and images are easily manipulated. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us,’ she said, holding back tears.

Guthrie then addressed her 84-year-old mother. 

‘Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy.  

Cops said on Tuesday that they had turned the $1 million adobe-style house back over to the Guthrie family, but the FBI had descended Wednesday.
