Savannah Guthrie delivers 'very specific' message to mom's kidnapper 25 weeks after her abduction - Fox News

What the report says

Fox News reported that “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie made a public appeal Monday on Instagram aimed at the person responsible for the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie. According to the outlet, Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing for more than 25 weeks after vanishing from her home in Arizona, and Savannah Guthrie used the post to ask for information that could help her family find her.

In the message described by Fox News, Guthrie said her family remains in deep distress and has not stopped searching. She appealed directly to the person involved, asking them to “do the right thing” by telling the family where to look and helping bring the ordeal to an end. Fox News also said NBC provided an undated photo of Nancy Guthrie with her daughter in connection with the case.

The article included a reference to a TMZ report, attributed by TMZ to an FBI source, claiming that alleged kidnappers panicked after Nancy Guthrie’s alleged death and backed away from demands for money. Fox News presented that as a report from TMZ; the supplied article text does not include an official law enforcement statement confirming those details.

The case matters because it involves an unresolved alleged kidnapping of an elderly woman and a high-profile journalist’s public effort to generate leads. Based on the Fox News account, Guthrie’s appeal was intended to keep attention on the search months after the disappearance and to urge anyone responsible or informed to provide information.
