“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a new video on Saturday pleading for the return of their missing mother and saying, “We will pay.”
“We received your message and we understand,” Guthrie said in the brief video posted to Instagram. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen Jan. 31, and authorities have said they believe she was abducted from her home.

“We are aware of the video posted by the Guthrie family. But don’t have any additional information to share,” a spokesperson for Pima Sheriff said in a statement to ABC News on Saturday following the release of the latest video from the family.
The message Savannah Guthrie references in her new Instagram post is the same message the FBI and Pima Sheriff said they were studying Friday, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
Investigators still have not confirmed the authenticity of the latest message which was received by a Tucson television station, nor any of the other ransom notes mentioning Nancy Guthrie, according to the source.

Authorities ‘aware of new message regarding Nancy Guthrie’: Sheriff
However, investigators continue to take all of the messages seriously.
There are no new leads that developed Saturday, the source said, echoing an earlier statement from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that could lead to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or an arrest and conviction in her abduction.
Nancy Guthrie was dropped off at home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona, shortly after 10 p.m. on Jan. 31, after having dinner with her family, according to authorities. She was reported missing the next morning after she did not show up to church, according to authorities.

A doorbell camera at her home was disconnected at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday morning, authorities said. Shortly before 2:30 a.m. her pacemaker app indicated it was disconnected from her phone, according to authorities.

Her blood was also found on the porch of her home, according to the sheriff.
Investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a press briefing on Thursday.
Ransom notes have been sent to several local and national media outlets, according to the FBI.
Prior to the video on Saturday, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have posted other videos urging their mother’s suspected kidnappers to make contact with them and provide proof she is still alive.
