Savannah Guthrie has said her family 'will pay' for her mother Nancy's return so they can have 'peace' a week on from her alleged kidnapping.

84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been abducted in the middle of the night on January 31 from her home in Tucson, Arizona.

Suspicions were raised after Nancy was nowhere to be seen at church on February 1, which rang the alarm bells for Today host Savannah and the rest of Nancy's family.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office have previously said Nancy's home is being treated as an ‘active crime scene’, stating they do not believe she ‘willingly’ left her home.

In a recent update from the FBI, it was revealed that an alleged ransom note had been sent to multiple outlets, offering her release in exchange for millions in Bitcoin.

The statement read: “The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie.

“Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity.

“While this is one new piece of information, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are still asking anyone with tips to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. The FBI continues to offer a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”

A week on from Nancy's disappearance, Savannah has issued a desperate plea to her mother's potential kidnappers following details of the alleged ransom note becoming known.

Speaking alongside her siblings, Cameron and Annie, Savannah said: "We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her.

"This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."

KOLD News/News 13 confirmed they received a message on February 6, though refused to detail much about the note out of respect for Nancy's family.

"The new note contains information the senders seem to think will prove to investigators they’re the same people who sent the first note," News 13 stated.

A 'missing person' poster details Nancy as a 'vulnerable person' who was staying at her house not far off East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue in Tucson.

Police are unaware 'what clothing she may be wearing', though described her as 5' 5", 150 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes.
