Hostage negotiators seen at Savannah Guthrie’s sister’s house before Today Show host issues heartbreaking plea
Hostage negotiators descended on Nancy Guthrie’s $1 million Tucson, Arizona home on Wednesday hours before Savannah Guthrie shared a heartbreaking plea to her mother’s captors.
In an Instagram post, The Today Show anchor described her mother in glowing terms alongside her siblings as she asked the captors for proof that her mother is alive.
Guthrie – surrounded by her sister Annie and brother Camron – then said to the potential kidnappers that ‘we are ready to talk’ but wanted proof that they weren’t potentially using fraudulent images of her.
‘We live in a world where voices and images 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,’ she said, holding back tears.
Savannah also thanked everyone who offered prayers and support before detailing her ‘beloved mom’ Nancy’s state.
‘She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without medicine, she needs it to survive. We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can,’ she said.
Sheriff offers $2,500 reward for information
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
‘Any video and photography information is strongly requested for evaluation and analysis of evidentiary value,’ the department said.
Officials established a tip line and an evidence submission portal for people to submit information that may be helpful.
Family may be trying to ‘establish a line of communication’
The Guthrie family may be trying to ‘establish a line of communication’ with their mother’s captors with the video statement posted to Savannah’s social media page Wednesday night, former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe said on CNN.
He then suggested the video might indicate that the ransom letters TMZ and a local news station received are not legitimate.
‘I feel like this is a fairly strong signal that they do not believe that they’ve had a legitimate ransom demand yet,’ McCabe said.
‘This, to me, reads like an effort to establish a line of communication.’
FBI agents seen at Savannah’s sister’s house
Photos from the Daily Mail show FBI agents outside of Savannah’s sister’s house on Wednesday, carrying lights and a tripod.
It is believed the equipment was used to film Savannah and her siblings’ statement posted on the Today Show host’s social media page.
