Savannah Guthrie appeals to her mother's kidnapper in Instagram video
The TV journalist posted a new Instagram message urging anyone responsible for her 84-year-old mother’s disappearance to come forward, saying her family remains in “agony.”
Savannah Guthrie posted a video on Instagram Monday urging the person she believes abducted her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, from an Arizona home more than 25 weeks ago to "do the right thing now" and disclose her whereabouts. The journalist said her family is "in agony" and pledged they will continue searching for her.
NBC reporter Erin McLaughlin noted the timing could indicate a new line of communication, though law-enforcement officials have not released recent updates on the case. Guthrie’s message asked the alleged kidnapper to "make the right choice" and help bring the situation to an end.
The appeal follows weeks of public statements by the family, who have described the disappearance as a continuing nightmare and expressed a belief that it is never too late for the perpetrator to come forward.
