Savannah Guthrie and Her Siblings Begged for Their Mom's Safe Return
Savannah Guthrie told the kidnappers she is ready to pay a ransom.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she said, adding that Nancy's return is “very valuable to us” and “we will pay.”
Savannah and her siblings released a different plea on February 4, begging the alleged anonymous perpetrators to bring their mom home safely.
“Our mom is our heart and our home,” the NBC anchor teared up. “She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer.”
Savannah Guthrie told the kidnappers that she is ready to pay a ransom.
Nancy Guthrie is 84 and suffers from health issues.
She also asked for proof of life to ensure her mother is still breathing, adding she's "ready to talk."
Annie's Tucson home was also searched late on February 7, according to Daily Mail.
Former cop Paul Mauro shared his expert insight recently on Nancy's vanishing, saying the kidnapper's "elusive" communication with the Guthries is a tactic "because you know you’re going to be asked for proof of life that you can’t provide,” he told Fox News.
"I feel like they’ve been playing games with the details in the house and all of that," he went on, adding the situation could "all be a hoax.”
