The tormentors who claim they are behind the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy have demanded $6 million in Bitcoin for her safe return, according to a local TV station.
The alleged culprits have demanded that they receive the funds before Monday at 5 pm local time.
KGUN 9 in Tucson, Arizona, reported that the heart-pounding note threatened the 84-year-old’s life if her loved ones do not hand over the hefty sum by the deadline.
The same outlet previously revealed that it was sent a ransom note demanding millions – and that several other media organizations received the same disturbing letter.
The Today host and her siblings Annie and Camron begged the unknown suspects to bring their mother home in a tear-jerking message on Saturday night.
‘We received your message and we understand,’ Savannah, sitting between her two siblings while holding their hands, said in the video shared on her Instagram page.
‘We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.’
Savannah did not share details about the communication her family received nor the demands that she agreed to pay to the abductors.
