Savannah Guthrie, the US journalist and television host, has released a new video urging her mother's suspected kidnappers to make contact with them and provide proof she is still alive. In the brief video, posted on Instagram, Guthrie says, "We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."
Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy, went missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on January 31st after being dropped off shortly after 10 pm following dinner with her family. Her pacemaker app indicated it was disconnected from her phone around 2:30 am the next day. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that could lead to Nancy Guthrie's recovery and/or an arrest and conviction in her abduction. Investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
Guthrie has posted other videos prior to this one, urging her mother's suspected kidnappers to make contact with them and provide proof she is still alive. Ransom notes have been sent to several local and national media outlets, as per the FBI.

. I mean, can't they just focus on finding her mom already? The layout of this news piece is all over the place, btw - it jumps around like a jackrabbit without any clear hierarchy or structure 
. And what's up with the use of 'we' and 'us'? Shouldn't they be saying 'Nancy Guthrie's family' or something instead of trying to pass themselves off as her surrogate advocates? Give me a break...
Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy went missing from her home in Arizona and now she's releasing these videos on Instagram asking her kidnappers to come forward? Like what is going through their minds?! 
The FBI is offering a $50k reward for any info that can lead to her recovery, which is crazy. I feel so bad for Savannah and her family, this must be so stressful for them 
I just hope Nancy is safe and someone comes forward with some proof soon 
. I mean, $50k is a lot of money, but what if it's not enough? 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will come forward and help them get their mom back. Can you imagine the relief they must feel if she just walks through the door after all this time? 
Sending all my positive vibes to Savannah Guthrie and her family 
. I hope they get some info soon though, my heart goes out to them 
Does she not know how this whole thing works? The FBI's on the case tho, good luck with that 50k reward 
. Like, who would've thought? I feel so bad for Nancy Guthrie tho 
, 84 and gone missing like that is CRAZY 
. And the fact that they're offering a $50k reward to anyone with info is HUGE 
. Like, making it clear they'll pay if her mom comes back safe and sound 
. I'm all about giving these kidnappers proof that Nancy is still alive 
, but at the same time, I don't want any harm to come to her

This whole thing with ransom notes is wild, I feel bad for her mom who got dropped off at home and then just... vanished 
My heart goes out to her and her family, please bring Nancy back home 
The situation is just terrible, you know? It's like, her family really needs to get some answers ASAP. I mean, 84 years old is not getting any younger, and this whole ordeal is just taking a toll on them. 
.
The FBI is already offering a pretty good reward for info, so do they really need to beg these people for proof? It just seems like there are better ways to handle this situation.
