Savannah Guthrie is appealing to the public for help after horrifying footage of her mother Nancy Guthrie’s alleged kidnapper was released.
The “Today” host posted on Instagram on Tuesday surveillance footage of an armed and masked person approaching an 84-year-old man’s home in Tucson, Arizona.
“This guy looks familiar,” the 54-year-old journalist captioned the black-and-white video first shared by FBI Director Kash Patel. “I believe she’s still outside. Let’s take her home.”
In another upload, the Daytime Emmy winner added, “We believe she is still alive.”
She concluded both questions with a request: “If you have any information, please contact us at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.”
Savannah later added both posts to her Instagram Story.
Patel, 45, wrote via X on Tuesday morning that “law enforcement… has discovered these new images that we previously did not have access to.”
“The video was recovered from residual data on the backend system,” he said.
Patel added: “Over the past eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office have continued to work closely with our private sector partners to recover images and video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, destroyed, or otherwise inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices.”
The disturbing video shows the suspect “approaching Nancy’s front door” and “tampering with the[Nest’s]camera” in the early morning hours of February 1, the day Nancy was reported missing.
The next day, news broke that the matriarch’s mansion was being treated as a crime scene, and investigators later revealed that there were signs of forced entry and blood stains.
Savannah, who resigned from NBC and withdrew from hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics while weathering the crisis, first appealed to social media users for support on February 2.
“Thank you for joining us in your prayers for our beloved mother, our beloved Nancy, a woman of deep faith and a good and faithful servant,” the former attorney wrote last week. “Please join us in raising your prayers and believe with us that she will be saved by them at this moment.
Her next four uploads were complaints against Camron and Annie Guthrie, the brothers who allegedly kidnapped Nancy, and her first video on February 4 said she was “open to talks.”
After Cam’ron’s solo video the next day, the brothers sat down together again on February 7 and confirmed that they would “pay” the millions of dollars demanded in the ransom note in Bitcoin.
Two ransom deadlines have since passed.
In Savannah’s latest message about her family’s “nightmare”, she said the situation had reached a “time of despair” and she needed help.
