Savannah Guthrie pulled at her fans’ heartstrings when she shared touching home videos of her missing mom, Nancy Guthrie.
“our lovely mom. 💛,” she captioned the post uploaded on Instagram Thursday.
“we will never give up on her. thank you for your prayers and hope.”
In the touch clips, little Savannah and her sister, Annie, could be seen running towards their mom before hopping on her lap to smile for a picture.
The following video then showed Nancy and her daughters playing with purple flowers outside a house.
The video ended with a black-and-white family portrait of Nancy, her daughters and her son, Camron.
The “Today” show host’s post was set to The Brilliance’s 2011 song “May You Find a Light.”
Nancy, 84, was last seen on Jan. 31 when she was dropped off at her Tucson, Ariz., home by Annie and her son-in-law Tommaso Cioni after a family dinner.
She was reported missing the next day, Feb. 1, after she failed to attend a virtual church session.
Investigators, who believe Nancy was kidnapped, found a trail of blood at her home after she went missing.
Most recently, the FBI unveiled surveillance footage of a ski-mask-wearing person fiddling with Nancy’s front doorbell camera at her Tucson, Ariz. home in the early morning of Feb. 1.
The footage showed the masked individual wearing gloves, a jacket and a backpack, with a weapon holstered at his waist.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the footage “may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors — including the removal of recording devices.”
Investigators have since discovered a glove similar to the one the suspected kidnapper used in the surveillance footage.
The glove was found on a dirt path near Nancy’s home.
Since Nancy’s disappearance, several outlets have received ransom notes demanding $6 million to be placed in a Bitcoin account despite no proof of Nancy being alive.
The latest ransom note was sent to TMZ Wednesday morning and demanded 1 Bitcoin (worth $67,000) in exchange for “the name of the individual involved” in Nancy’s kidnapping.
The sender claimed they’ve tried unsuccessfully to reach Nancy’s children.
“Time is more than relevant,” the ransom note allegedly said.
Savannah and her siblings previously agreed to pay the ransom in a Feb. 7 Instagram video.
“We received your message and we understand,” the journalist said in her emotional plea to Nancy’s kidnapper.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she added. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Since then, Page Six confirmed that only $152 had been deposited in the account.
