Celebrities are speaking out after Savannah Guthrie and her siblings shared an emotional video about their missing mom, Nancy Guthrie.
“We want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy,” Savannah, 54, tearfully began in a clip posted via Instagram on Wednesday, February 4. “We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too. Our mom is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. … She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you’ll see.”
Savannah added that Nancy’s “health is fragile” before addressing reports that a ransom note has been received.
“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk,” she said. “However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. 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.”
The Today show star added that her family “will not rest” until Nancy is found. “We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing and we rejoice in advance that the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, mom,” she said.
Nancy, 84, was last seen on Saturday, January 31, before she was reported missing in Arizona. Authorities confirmed Nancy’s home is being treated as a crime scene but have insisted there are no potential suspects at this time.
“Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department noted in a statement on Wednesday. “While we appreciate the public’s concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.”
