On Wednesday, NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie took to Instagram, sharing a video thanking the public for their support in theΒ search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie.

“On behalf of our family, we want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy,” she said in the video with her brother and sister. “We feel them, and we continue to believe that she feels them too.”

Guthrie also addressed a ransom note allegedly sent to a local Arizona station, KOLD, via email on Tuesday. The station sent the email to the local sheriff’s office, and it was sent in as evidence to the FBI.

According to 12News, there has been a heavy local, state and federal agent presence at Nancy Guthrie’s home on Wednesday afternoon. Officials have noted signs of forced entry at the southern Arizona home.
