Savannah Guthrie — the longtime co‑anchor of NBC’s TODAY and one of the most recognizable journalists in American media — has released a raw, emotional new video message addressed directly to the individuals holding her mother. The plea marks the most personal and urgent moment yet in the unfolding abduction case.
The situation escalated earlier this week when Guthrie’s mother was reported missing under circumstances authorities immediately labeled “highly concerning.” Investigators have not publicly confirmed a motive, but Guthrie’s high‑profile visibility, her national platform, and her family’s public familiarity have raised concerns that her mother may have been targeted because of Savannah’s prominence and influence.
In the days leading up to this new video, Guthrie and her family worked closely with investigators while issuing initial statements asking for information. As time passed with no confirmed contact, the urgency intensified, prompting Guthrie to speak directly to the captors in hopes of opening a line of communication.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Her message is direct, vulnerable, and unmistakably desperate:
“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.”
The family continues to push for any sign of contact as the investigation expands.
How do you feel about Guthrie stepping forward so directly in this moment?
