Savannah Guthrie’s Brother Posts New Video While Search for Mom Intensifies

The search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom, Nancy, is getting close to entering its sixth day, and the Today host’s brother had a message for whoever is responsible.

Just about 24 hours after Savannah, Camron, and their sister Annie posted an emotional plea to “bring her home,” Camron posted another message on Thursday evening, in which he spoke on behalf of the entire Guthrie family.

“Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you,” he said. “We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we need to know that you have our mom.”

“We want to talk to you and we are waiting for contact,” he concluded. 

The short plea was posted to Savannah’s Instagram page, which has more than 1.4 million followers. The request for direct contact comes after multiple ransom notes have surfaced following the 84-year-old’s disappearance, some of which have already been ruled as hoaxes.

The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are reportedly still investigating a separate ransom note that they have deemed credible because of some of the details contained within, which cited details about Nancy’s home and personal belongings. 

On Thursday, Derrick Callella, a 42-year-old man from Hawthorne, California, was arrested after texting both Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, regarding a bitcoin ransom for Nancy. Authorities later determined that his texts were simply a hoax.

Through the entire ordeal, however, authorities have been cognizant that no proof of life has been offered, which is what prompted Savannah and her siblings to record their Wednesday night video, and presumably why Camron made the decision to make another video on Thursday. 

Nancy was last seen around 9:45 p.m. on Sunday, February 1, when family members dropped her off at home following a meal together. She entered through the garage, which then closed behind her.

Approximately four hours later, at approximately 1:47 a.m., Nancy’s doorbell camera was disconnected. Software detected a person in the home at 2:12 a.m. but there is no video to show who the person might be. At 2:28 a.m., Nancy’s pacemaker app was disconnected from her phone.

As of Thursday, the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to her recovery.
