Savannah Guthrie has made a heartfelt plea for help in finding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who vanished almost six months ago. In a new Instagram video, the "Today" show host directly addressed her mother's alleged abductor, urging them to "do the right thing" and reveal her whereabouts.
Iโm coming on today with a very specific message. 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.
"Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end," Guthrie stated in the video. "We have done our part. But we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts."
We have done our part. But we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts.
The plea comes as authorities continue to investigate Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The Pima County Sheriff's Department recently warned the public about a money scam circulating online, which uses a QR code and claims to be related to the investigation. Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasized that the department will never ask for money and urged people to report any such posts.
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.
Authorities believe Nancy, 84, was abducted in February after blood was found near her home's doorstep. Surveillance footage released by the FBI showed a masked man on the porch that night. Last month, Savannah revealed that her family was still "in agony" amid the ongoing search, and she addressed reports of a second ransom note claiming her mother was dead.
The Pima County Sheriffโs Department is aware of posts circulating about the Guthrie Investigation that include a QR code requesting money.
