Savannah Guthrie told the potential kidnappers of her mother Nancy Guthrie on Saturday that the family is prepared to pay for her safe return.
“We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her,” Ms Guthrie said in the video, flanked by her siblings.
“This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

DNA tests showed blood on Ms Guthrie’s front porch was a match to her, Mr Nanos said.
