NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie said Wednesday that her family is ready to talk to people holding their mother, but they want to see proof that she is alive.
Guthrie said in a recorded video posted on social media that her family has heard about a ransom letter in media reports.
“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated” Guthrie said. “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.”

Authorities offered no detailed update Wednesday as investigators try to piece together the moments before and immediately after the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
“Is there somebody out there who’s kidnapping elderly people in the middle of the night, every night?” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Tuesday. “We don’t believe that’s the case. We believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will.”

The sheriff suggested there was video from some cameras, though he didn’t elaborate, adding: “That’s all been submitted and we’re doing our best with the companies that own those cameras or built those cameras”.
