Savannah Guthrie's emotional plea to mom's kidnapper may signal 'new line of communication': report - Fox News

"Today" host Savannah Guthrie issued a new emotional plea on her Instagram account Monday, July 27, 2026, directed at whoever kidnapped her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home outside Tucson, Arizona, on Feb. 1, more than 25 weeks before her daughter's latest video message.
In the video, Savannah Guthrie described her family as "in agony" and living "a nightmare that will not end," urging the kidnapper to "do the right thing" and reveal where to look for her mother.
NBC's Erin McLaughlin reported Tuesday that the timing of the message may be a response to a potential new line of communication in the investigation, though it remains unclear why Guthrie chose to speak out now.
McLaughlin noted that experts believe the language was pointed directly at whoever committed the crime, while law enforcement has not offered any recent public updates on the case.
Guthrie stressed that her family has "done our part" and "will never stop looking," saying she believes "there is always a way home" and appealing for the situation to be brought to an end.
