Savannah Guthrie tearfully discussed the ransom note her family received in February, which allegedly claimed her missing mom, Nancy Guthrie, has died, on Tuesday’s 'Today' show. Guthrie said she has "no comment" on the headlines and is "not involved in … coverage" of her mother’s abduction, but added she couldn’t "pretend" to not be present for the conversation and begged people to come forward because "somebody knows something." She described the impact on her family—"this is the life my sister, [Annie Guthrie], lives, that I live, that my brother, [Camron Guthrie], lives, that our extended families live, that our children live every day"—and said they are "in agony." Surrounded by colleagues Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Jenna Bush Hager, she urged viewers: "We cannot be at peace...No matter how small, the reward is there.

You can tell us, it can be anonymous. Please do the right thing." Melvin pointed people to an FBI tip line and praised the "bravery and courage" with which she has continued to work.
