“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie sat with her siblings with a message to her mother’s potential kidnapper.
“We are ready to talk,” the “Today” show host said Wednesday, per The Hill.
The family posted a video where it talked about Nancy Guthrie, 84, who was last seen on Saturday.
The family said it was willing to talk, but needed to see proof of life.
“We are ready to talk,” she read from a prepared statement, as her siblings Annie and Cameron were but her side.
“However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” she continued in the video posted on Instagram.
“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,” Savannah Guthrie said.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen Jan. 31 at around 9:30 p.m. MST, after her family dropped her off at her home outside Tucson, Ariz., after dinner. She did not go to church Sunday, which prompted the family to report that she was missing.
“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman,” Savannah Guthrie said. “You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy. We believe that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere.”
Savannah Guthrie said her mother was a “kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny and spunky and clever. She has grandchildren who love her and adore her and crowd her with kisses.”
“The light is missing from our lives,” Annie Guthrie added.
Watch:
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators believe Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in a “possible kidnapping or abduction.”
The sheriff said Savannah Guthrie’s appeal has produced “hundreds” of tips, but none have generated any results in the investigation.
Nanos’s office and the FBI are leading the investigation.
Nancy Guthrie does not have dementia and has full cognitive function, Nanos said. But she has physical limitations and cannot walk more than 50 yards on her own.
She takes daily medications that could be life-threatening if skipped.
President Donald Trump spoke with Savannah Guthrie and said he was directing “ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY.”
“We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY!”
