Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of the TODAY show, has shared a new, emotional message that appears to be directed at her mother’s abductor, pleading for them to “do the right thing” and “tell us where to look for her.” Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home near Tucson, Arizona, early February 1, according to authorities. Police think she was abducted by an intruder.
A Family in Agony
“I’m coming on today with a very specific message,” Guthrie said in her Instagram video. “It has been months since our mom was taken from us. Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed. We have done our part, and we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts.”
Guthrie’s message appears to address the person who abducted her mother. “The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way,” she said. “So I am asking you — begging you — to do the right thing now. Make the right choice. Help us find her. Tell us where to look for her. I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing. Help us bring this situation to an end.”
Monday’s video comes just over a month after Guthrie shared a renewed plea for help on TODAY. Guthrie spoke briefly after a report about a second note sent to media outlets following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. The note indicated that Nancy had died but contained no apology nor request for payment for the release of her body.
Guthrie once again called for information leading to her mother’s return. “No matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy, and I will, I promise I will, this is a moment to tell you that we need your help,” Guthrie said on TODAY. “We’re begging for your help, and I’m not going to miss that opportunity. And so please, if you’re watching, no matter how small, the reward is there. You can tell us, it can be anonymous. Please do the right thing for us, for our family, for our children. We love our mom, and we’ll never stop looking for her, ever.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Guthrie and her family are also offering a $1 million reward for the return of her mother.
