Savannah Guthrie asks alleged kidnappers to "do the right thing" in new video

Savannah Guthrie, the anchor of NBC's "Today" show, has issued an emotional video appeal to the individuals she believes have abducted her mother, urging them to "do the right thing."

“

The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way. So I am asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now.

In a new video message posted on Instagram, Guthrie described her family's ongoing ordeal as a "nightmare that will not end." Her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. The family has been actively searching for her since then.

Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home. Shortly after her disappearance, the family received two ransom notes. The first demanded millions in bitcoin for her release, while a second note, sent days later, suggested she had died, though the abductors reportedly indicated this was not their intention.

Guthrie stated that her family has "done our part" and vowed they will "never stop looking" for Nancy. This public appeal marks the family's most significant public statement since Guthrie's tearful address on her NBC show on June 23.
