Feb 7 (Reuters) – U.S. television \u200cnews \u200bhost\u00a0Savannah Guthrie said in \u200ca video message released on Saturday that her \u200bfamily is willing to pay to secure her mother’s return after her \u200dpresumed abduction in Arizona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Law enforcement \u200bofficials have concluded that Nancy Guthrie, 84, was kidnapped, \u200bbut the \u2060Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on Saturday it has not identified any suspects or people of interest in the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Saturday’s post on Instagram, Savannah Guthrie, flanked by her brother and sister, pleaded \u200cfor their mother’s return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“This is the only way we will have \u200bpeace,” \u200csaid Guthrie, co-anchor of \u200dNBC’s \u2060morning news show “Today” since 2012. “This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Investigators are examining a newly surfaced message in the case, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nancy Guthrie was last seen near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31 when she was dropped \u200boff at her residence by family members after having dinner with them. Relatives reported her missing around noon the following day, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She has been described by Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos as frail with extremely limited mobility. Nanos said she could not have left her home unassisted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The FBI on Thursday offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie or the arrest and conviction \u200bof anyone involved in her disappearance. U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday suggested a resolution to the case was at hand, saying, “I think we could have some answers coming up \u200bfairly soon.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
