'We will pay,' Savannah Guthrie says in desperate video plea to potential kidnappers of her mother

Savannah Guthrie has told the potential kidnappers of her mother Nancy Guthrie that the family is prepared to pay for her safe return. The “Today” show host appeared in a video on Instagram on Saturday while flanked by her two siblings. She said: “We received your message and we understand. ... This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.” The FBI says Savannah Guthrie was referencing a message that was sent to the Tucson television station KOLD on Friday. The frantic search for the 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has entered a seventh day. Authorities have not identified any suspects or ruled anyone out.
