Savannah Guthrie says 'we will pay' for mother's safe return

Family issues multiple video pleas and offers ransom as authorities investigate ransom notes demanding bitcoin amid search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.

  • Today show cohost Savannah Guthrie released an Instagram video saying, `We received your message and we understand` and her family is willing to pay to secure Nancy Guthrie's return.
  • Relatives reported Nancy Guthrie missing on February 1 after she was last seen January 31, and multiple media outlets, including KGUN, received alleged ransom notes during the week; law enforcement said a prior note set deadlines for February 5 and 9.
  • FBI agents returned to the property and recovered a wired roof camera, probed a septic tank, and searched Annie Guthrie’s home while the family released repeated video pleas.
  • Law enforcement says the case is being treated as a kidnapping with no suspects identified, and the FBI offered a $50,000 reward while authorities restricted access near the home and resumed searches.
  • Federal authorities, at the president's behest, are assisting while experts say the camera's placement suggests premeditation, and Nancy Guthrie's fragile health increases urgency.
