“We will pay”
In the video that the Today show host and her siblings posted on social media, they offer to pay and ask their mother to be returned to them.
Savannah held her siblings' hands in the video while pleading with the possible captors of Nancy and said, “We received your message, and we understand…we will pay.”
Camron Guthrie, Savannah's brother, had issued another video a day after the first video, asking for confirmation from Nancy's possible captors.
He said, “Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you.” He said that they are “waiting for contact” and can only "move forward" once there is confirmation that they have their mom.

Ransom “message”
TMZ and CNN affiliate KOLD-TV were among the media outlets that got the first suspected ransom note earlier this week, which demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin in exchange for Guthrie's return. KOLD reported receiving a second, shorter message on Friday.
According to an official, the original message contained two deadlines: one due Monday and one that had already passed. KOLD anchor Mary Coleman reported that although the second memo contained critical information, there was no deadline.
